Ozone in the Wine Industry
Overview
Since the early 1990s wineries have been experimenting with ozone as an alternative to sanitizers like chlorines and sulfur dioxide. This has provided added benefit of reducing water usage, power consumption, and chemical treatment. Environmentally sound, ozonated cold water can replace traditional hot water and harsh chemical sanitation practices. Recently, Piper Environmental Group, Inc., Inc. has found increasing acceptance of ozone for the barrel and tank washing process as a sanitizer.
Even as awareness of ozone as a viable treatment alternative for wine industry increases, very few manufacturers are capable of providing expert sizing assistance, engineering, or technical support necessary to design and size a proper ozone system to fit your needs. Piper Environmental Group, Inc., Inc. has utilized ozone for food applications since 1993 and demonstrated success with both our service and application expertise. As an ozone system integrator, we evaluate your needs to design the proper ozone system for your specific wine application.
Do not limit the performance of your winery by making it fit the limited designs of a "cookie cutter, one size fits all" ozone system. Let Piper Environmental Group, Inc., Inc. design an ozone system to fit your needs.
