Already accredited by Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand, the winery wanted their wastewater (including septic waste) to be treated to a level far exceeding that required by the industry and local authorities. To achieve these targets, the heart of the treatment plant is a membrane bioreactor (MBR). The system also includes a wastewater receival sump and pump station, rotary screen, settling and balancing tanks, and a treated water tank with discharge pumps for connection to the irrigation system. The system is controlled by a PLC with both local user interface and remote access system fitted to allow Apex personnel to monitor and operate the plant via the internet from anywhere in the world.
