Brewing water is the core and underlying foundation of wine production. Subtle differences in water quality will be directly transmitted to the taste, purity, shelf life and final product quality of the wine.Excessive hardness, soluble salt content, impurities, and microorganisms in the water will directly lead to common pain points in the industry such as turbidity in the late stage of the drink, bitterness and astringency in taste, and easy deterioration during storage.Many brewing companies directly copy general industrial models when purchasing purification equipment. After being put into use, difficult problems such as substandard water quality, high energy consumption of tons of water, and clogging of membrane components within 3 months frequently occur.Xi'an DIEN Water treatment has been deeply engaged in the field of water treatment in the Northwest brewing industry for many years. Combined with the first-hand experience of dozens of local winery landing projects, it explains the core points of RO reverse osmosis equipment selection in breweries, and helps enterprises choose fully adapted brewing water purification equipment to ensure stable production and the quality of drinks is up to standard throughout the process.
RO reverse osmosis equipment
When breweries choose RO reverse osmosis equipment, they must not directly apply the template of general industrial water purification equipment, and must meet the strict water standards exclusive to the brewing industry.First, an exclusive pretreatment system is customized for the local high-hardness raw water in Northwest China. The groundwater and municipal tap water used in most factories in Shaanxi have high hardness and many sediment impurities. It must be equipped with gradient multi-media filtration, food-grade activated carbon adsorption, and automatic sodium ion exchange softening units to avoid rapid fouling and clogging of membrane components from the front-end source; Second, accurately match the rated water production on demand, according to the average daily brewing water consumption of wineries, fixed production shifts, accounting and selection, to avoid the equipment is too small, the water supply is cut off during peak periods, and the large no-load operation causes invalid energy consumption and waste; third, strictly lock the core indicators of the equipment's effluent, and the water used for brewing It requires low hardness and low stable TDS value, and gives priority to equipment with long-term stable desalination rate and no large fluctuations in water quality; fourth, the recovery rate of the system is scientifically set, and the recommended recovery rate for brewing water purification scenarios is controlled in the range of 65%-75%, taking into account the water-saving effect and the service life of the membrane element, so as to avoid blindly increasing the recovery rate and causing stubborn fouling on the membrane surface. Failure.
In addition, the material level of equipment and the convenience of operation and maintenance are also key selection points that cannot be ignored.The wine-making industry has extremely high requirements for hygiene levels. All wading and overcurrent components must be made of food-grade 304 stainless steel to completely eliminate secondary pollution caused by the precipitation of inferior materials. At the same time, priority is given to equipment equipped with automatic timing flushing and frequency conversion control functions, which greatly reduces labor operation and maintenance costs and adapts to the long-term continuous production conditions of wineries.
A local small and medium-sized liquor distillery in Xi'an has stepped on the pit of general equipment selection. The ordinary water purification equipment purchased by the customer has frequent problems: the raw water pretreatment configuration is simple, the calcium and magnesium hardness in the water, and the impurities are not thoroughly filtered, resulting in the brewed liquor has a heavy taste and a slightly turbid body; the water quality of the equipment fluctuates greatly in batches, which directly reduces the stability of the finished wine; the equipment has high no-load energy consumption, frequent fouling of membrane components, and high long-term operation and maintenance costs.
RO reverse osmosis equipment
In view of the customer's core production pain points, DIEN's technical team went to the site to survey the raw water quality of the plant, accurately calculate the average daily actual water consumption, and customize exclusive brewing water purification solutions.Adapt to the characteristics of local high-hardness well water, upgrade a full set of graded pretreatment system, and add a fully automatic softening filter device to completely trap calcium and magnesium ions, sediment and colloidal impurities in the water; match the production needs of the winery in two shifts, customize the RO reverse osmosis equipment corresponding to the water production, optimize the operating parameters, and stabilize the TDS value of the effluent; equipped with automatic linkage flushing and frequency conversion energy-saving system, reduce the invalid energy consumption of the equipment, extend the service life of the membrane components, and comply with food-grade sanitary water purification standards throughout the process.
After the equipment is put into use, the effect is remarkable: the water quality of the brewing water is stable and up to standard throughout the process, the water body is pure and free of excess impurities, and the old problem of turbidity and miscellaneous taste of the wine is completely solved, and the quality of the finished wine batch is completely unified; the energy consumption of tons of water in the equipment has been significantly reduced, and the frequency of cleaning and replacement of membrane components has been significantly reduced, saving a lot of operation and maintenance expenses every year.Customer feedback: "The wrong equipment was selected before and production has been delayed. DIEN's tailor-made brewing water equipment fully fits our working conditions. The water quality is stable, the operation is worry-free, and the quality of the drinks has been significantly improved. The local after-sales docking is also very professional and reliable.”
In general, the core of the selection of purification equipment for wineries is to meet the exclusive standards of the brewing industry, adapt to the local water quality in the northwest, and match the actual production conditions of wineries.Xi'an DIEN Water treatment focuses on the customization of water treatment solutions for brewing, food and other industries in Northwest China. It can provide free on-site water quality testing and on-site working condition survey services to accurately select and customize exclusive water purification solutions for enterprises to help wineries improve quality and reduce costs.
