  • 1.  DISTILLERY WASTEWATER

    Posted 07-31-2024 18:49

    I know this is a brewing forum but hoping there are some distilling or wastewater experts as members.  I'm looking for information on typical wastewater content at distilleries.  Many thanks

    Hi Mike,

    Its rather varied based on raw material and design.  I would need a little more info.

    Fruit or Grain?

    Is cooling tower blow down included/mixed with the Slop?

    Are solids distilled or separated before the Stills?

    -Yeast

    -Grain

    Is the Slop recycled to the next Mash?

    I'v actually been to a few Zero (liquid) discharge distilleries.
