bioPULSE™ MBR System for Water Reuse at Vineyard

Application

Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) Removal | Total Suspended Solids (TSS) Removal | Water Reuse

Application Parameters

bioprocessH2O is equipped with a team of experts experienced in the wastewater industry. We provide solutions by offering innovative wastewater treatment systems that are custom built to each client’s needs and specifications. Allow bioprocessH2O to help you get the most out of your water with these recommended treatment systems.


Parameter	Influent	Effluent
Wastewater Flow	8,000 GPD	/
BOD	<8,000 mg/L	<5 mg/L
TSS	1,300 mg/L	<1 mg/L
FOG	150 mg/L	<10 mg/L

The Problem

The vineyard needed to install a wastewater treatment system to reduce the BOD/TSS from the wine processing waste and use the system effluent for vine irrigation.

The Solution

bioprocessH2O supplied a bioPULSE™ Airlift Containerized Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) incorporating an energy efficient airlift external tubular and backwashable membrane that significantly reduces power consumption. The permeate from the membrane process is UV disinfected and being used to irrigate the vines.

The Results

The bioPULSE™ MBR has proven effective at reducing the BOD, COD, and TSS from the vineyard’s wastewater.
