A large winemaking facility needed to refurbish its aging CAL system to maintain efficiency, compliance, and methane capture while minimising disruption.
Waterform upgraded the CAL system with a new geosynthetic cover, improved biogas flare, and structural enhancements for minimal downtime.
The refurbishment improved methane recovery, extended system lifespan, ensured compliance, and supported sustainable winemaking practices.
A leading winemaking company, located in a renowned Australian wine region, was operating a Covered Anaerobic Lagoon (CAL) system at their facility to manage and treat wastewater generated from their winemaking processes. As time passed, the existing CAL infrastructure began to show signs of aging and deterioration, leading to reduced operational efficiency and potential risks to environmental compliance. The system’s ability to capture methane for sustainable energy use was also affected.
The key challenges that the company faced included:
In response to these challenges, the winemaking company sought a reliable and experienced water solutions provider capable of refurbishing the CAL system while meeting operational, environmental, and regulatory requirements.
Waterform Technologies delivered a comprehensive CAL refurbishment solution that addressed all of the client’s operational and environmental needs. The project was managed using Waterform’s “Solve, Deliver, Sustain” methodology, ensuring both short-term success and long-term system performance.
Key components of the solution included:
Throughout the process, Waterform managed all aspects of the refurbishment, coordinating closely with key suppliers and the client to ensure minimal disruption to winery operations.
The successful refurbishment of the CAL system has provided the following operational and environmental benefits for the client:
By partnering with Waterform Technologies, the winery has ensured that its anaerobic wastewater treatment system is future-ready, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable winemaking practices and operational excellence.
