Brewery, winery and distillery production presents unique challenges in water and wastewater treatment. Water must meet strict specifications for product quality, taste and consistency. Wastewater contains various chemical and organic compounds, plus particulate matter such as yeast and spent grains, which can be difficult to treat and dispose of properly. Xylem can provide reliable, cost-efficient water and wastewater solutions to help address these challenges.
