WETWINE – Innovations in the application of constructed wetlands at wineries
WETWINE - Innovaciones de la aplicación en bodega de humedales construidos (wetlands)
Kontext
The WETWINE project consists of testing, at two wineries, different treatment applications through the natural constructed wetlands system: for the purification of wastewater, and for the dehydration and stabilisation of sludge from a biological WWTP.
At La Vinyeta winery, located in Mollet de Peralada (Girona), a system is proposed for the treatment of wastewater generated through a prototype that combines an anaerobic digester and horizontal flow constructed wetlands in order to discharge the purified water into a public water course. The system is completed by an SDRB (sludge drying reed bed) wetland for the treatment of the sludge generated, enabling it to be incorporated into the earth as vine fertiliser.
At the Raimat winery (Codorniu group), located in Raimat (Lleida), it is proposed to install a pilot plant to check the effect of the innovative management of a dewatering system for sludge from the biological WWTP through reed beds (SDRB). The design of the system will be conventional, but the innovative management of the supply and residence time of the sludge in the SDRB is expected to optimise the surface area required to achieve its stabilisation, reducing the necessary investment costs.
The ultimate goal is to define the design and dimensioning and assess the cost of the definitive SDRB installation to be proposed at the Raimat winery.
The applications and management of the constructed wetland systems proposed by WETWINE represent a technology with a much lower environmental and economic impact than traditional systems, with much less time being spent by staff on operation and maintenance.
Objectives
A) Check the correct design of a prototype for the treatment of wastewater generated at La Vinyeta that combines: an anaerobic digester (HUSB) with a horizontal flow wetland (HF) and a sludge dehydration wetland (SDRB), in such a way that the purified water effluent can be discharged into a public water course or be reused for irrigation.
B) At the Raimat winery a conventional sludge dehydration system using a constructed wetland (SDRB) will be managed in an innovative manner to load the different wetlands to a greater extent and alternate prolonged periods of rest in order to stabilise the sludge more quickly, reducing the wetland surface area necessary for treatment.
Objectives
A) Comprobar el correcto diseño de un prototipo para el tratamiento de las aguas residuales generadas
en La Vinyeta que combina: un digestor anaerobio (HUSB), con un humedal de flujo horizontal (FH) y
otro para deshidratación de fangos (SDRB), de modo que el agua depurada efluente se pueda verter a
cauce público o reutilizar para riego.
B) En la bodega de Raimat se gestionará un sistema convencional de deshidratación de fangos
mediante humedales construidos (SDRB) de una forma innovadora, cargando mucho más los distintos
humedales y alternando períodos de descanso prolongados, para conseguir estabilizar antes el fango, lo
cual reduciría la superficie de humedal necesaria para su tratamiento.
Activities
- Define the list of materials, drawings and site of the pilot plant.
- At La Vinyeta, test the optimal supply strategy for the anaerobic digester (HUSB), in addition to the correct operation and integration of the rest of the elements (HF, SDRB).
- At Raimat, install 8 1-m3 containers supplied with sludge from the biological treatment plant. Four of them are supplied in the traditional manner, while the other four will use a more intensive sludge supply strategy.

WETWINE – Innovations in the application of constructed wetlands at wineries
- Analytical monitoring will be conducted at both plants.
Activities
Definir la lista de materiales, planos y emplazamiento de la planta piloto.
- En la Vinyeta, ensayar la óptima estrategia de alimentación del digestor anaerobio (HUSB), así como el
correcto funcionamiento e integración del resto de elementos (FH, SDRB)
- En Raimat, instalar 8 contenedores de 1 m3 alimentados con fango procedente de la planta depuradora biológica. Cuatro de ellos se alimentarán de la forma tradicional, mientras que en los otros cuatro se
realizará una estrategia de suministro del fango más intensiva.
-En ambas plantas, realizar un seguimiento analítico.
