Description
Description (FR): L'industrie vitivinicole fait face à de forts enjeux environnementaux, principalement du traitement des effluents qui sont générés pendant les phases d'élaboration du vin. D'autre part, la culture de la vigne requiert un usage raisonné d'engrais, l'apport adéquat de matière organique, azote, phosphore et autre oligoéléments est un élément clef. L'utilisation d'engrais minéraux représente un coût économique élevé pour les viticulteurs, en plus de leur impact environnemental au niveau des eaux et du sol. Le projet WETWINE vise à résoudre les problèmes de traitement des déchets de l'industrie vitivinicole en s'appuyant sur le développement d'une expérience pilote novatrice, basée sur combinaison de méthanisation et de lits plantés pour le traitement des eaux et des boues.L'objectif est de promouvoir la mise en valeur et l'usage rationnel des ressources du territoire (eau et cultures viticoles), et le recyclage des déchets en tant que fertilisant pour limiter leur production et la contamination des sols et de l'eau, réduisant de 90% l'impact sur le patrimoine naturel.
Les impacts attendus du projet sont:
-La valorisation des effluents du secteur vitivinicole, en limitant les émissions et la contamination des sols et de l'eau (valorisation de 90% des déchets
-Le système WETWINE et le fertilisant obtenu réduiront de 90% l'impact de l'activité vitivinicole dans l'espace SUDOE.
-Transfert direct des résultats du projet, grâce aux partenaires de WETWINE, aux principales appellations de la zone SUDOE (la Rioja, le Douro, Rias Baixas, Pays d'Oc).
Read more Description (ES): La industria vitivinícola tiene notables implicaciones medioambientales, principalmente por el consumo de agua en las operaciones de limpieza y los vertidos líquidos que se generan durante las fases de elaboración del vino. Por otra parte, el cultivo de la vid requiere del uso racional de fertilizantes, siendo clave el aporte adecuado de materia orgánica, nitrógeno, fósforo y otros oligoelementos. La utilización de fertilizantes de origen mineral supone un elevado coste para los agricultores, además del impacto ambiental provocado en el agua y en el suelo.
El proyecto WETWINE aportará soluciones a los problemas de tratamiento de residuos de la industria vitivinícola, en base al desarrollo de una experiencia piloto innovadora basada en digestión anaerobia y humedales de tratamiento de agua y de lodo para promover la puesta en valor y el uso racional de los recursos del territorio (agua y cultivo vitícola), y su reciclaje como fertilizante para limitar la generación de residuos y la contaminación de suelo y agua, disminuyendo en un 90% el impacto sobre el patrimonio natural.
Los impactos esperados del proyecto son:
- Puesta en valor de los residuos del sector vitivinícola, limitando las emisiones y la contaminación de los suelos y el agua (valorización del 90% de los residuos).
- El sistema WETWINE y el fertilizante obtenido reducirán en un 90% el impacto de la actividad vitivinícola en el espacio SUDOE.
- Transferencia directa de los resultados del proyecto, a través de los socios WETWINE a las principales DOs de la zona SUDOE (como Rioja, Douro, Rías Baixas, Pays d'Oc ).
Aunque las características del agua residual de una bodega dependen de su actividad y del tipo de producto obtenido, su problemática de tratamiento es parecida como para plantear una tecnología de tratamiento común. Sin embargo, es necesario adaptar los parámetros de diseño y operación a cada bodega ya que tendrán distinto proceso productivo. Al mismo tiempo, las especificaciones del fertilizante a obtener serán distintas según la variedad de vid y el tipo de suelo a cultivar. La colaboración transnacional, implicando las diferentes regiones SUDOE, resulta esencial en este sentido.
Read more Description (EN): The wine industry faces strong environmental challenges, mainly the treatment of effluents that are generated during the wine making process. On the other hand, the cultivation of the vine requires a low consumption of fertilizers, the appropriate supply of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus and other trace elements is a key element. The use of mineral fertilizers represents a high economic cost for vinemakers, in addition to their environmental impact at the water and soil levels.
The WETWINE project aims to solve the wine industry waste treatment problems by rely on an innovative pilot experiment, based on a combination of methanisation and green beds planted for the treatment of water and sludge. The objective is to promote the development and rational use of the territory's resources (water and viticultural crops), and the recycling of waste as a fertilizer to limit their production and the contamination of soil and water, reducing 90% impact on natural heritage.
The expected impacts of the project are:
-Upcycling of effluents in the wine sector, by limiting emissions and contamination of soil and water (90% recovery of waste)
-The WETWINE system and the resulting fertilizer will reduce by 90% the impact of wine activity in the SUDOE area.
- Direct transfer of the results of the project, thanks to WETWINE partners, to the main appellations of the SUDOE zone (La Rioja, Douro, Rias Baixas, Pays d'Oc).
Although the characteristics of the effluents of a winery depend on its activity and its type of production, the problem of their treatment is sufficiently generic to propose a common treatment technology.
However, it is necessary to adapt the design and operating parameters to each winery since they have different production processes. At the same time, the characteristics of the fertilizer to be obtained will differ according to the type of viticulture, the grape varieties and the type of soil to be cultivated. Transnational collaboration, involving different regions of SUDOE, is essential in this sense. The wine industry faces strong environmental challenges, mainly the treatment of effluents that are generated during the process of wine making.
Read more Achievements (EN): WETWINE is a project that reduces the environmental impact linked to wine production in the SUDOE area, the latter being responsible for 34% of the world's wine production. The system developed by WETWINE is based on the control of effluents linked to production and is characterized by its transferability, being exportable to other areas and larger scale.
Among its results, we should mention:
- The creation of an environmentally friendly viticulture production system, based on anaerobic digestion and wetlands for water and sludge treatment. For this, the project has developed a pilot experience at the Santiago Ruiz winery (Pontevedra, Spain) which, thanks to the WETWINE system, has managed to reduce its environmental impact by 90% in the last three years. This pilot plant was developed based on an analysis of environmental impact during the harvest season, from which wetlands were planted. As a result, mud was generated, collected and analysed before being used in various conditions (climatic, productive, scale, etc.) to be able to make comparisons with common systems and thus, assess the real environmental benefit of the WETWINE system. The WETWINE system has been the subject of a scientific publication validating its value.
- The creation of an organic fertilizer based on the WETWINE system. The result was that the fertilizers generated through the project are all less polluting than commercial fertilizers.
- The development of an effluent treatment design software in the sector generated from the pilot experience. This software is addressed to wine producers so that they can assess the impact of the application of the WETWINE system to their production systems. This software has been made available and tested with 100 wineries and 12 different designations of origin. It can be accessed free of charge through the project website.
- The development of a manual and guide for the modification of public policies. The project has developed a compendium of legislation on wine production in order to guarantee the adjustment of the WETWINE system to the different laws in force. The project has shown that the legal aspect is still an obstacle and for this, it has the help of the Association of Cross-Border European Borders to identify precisely the legal obstacles when implementing the WETWINE system.
- The sensitization of the actors of the wine sector to the problems linked to pollution of production and climate change.
