Wineries around the world utilize lagoons to deposit the waste products from the wine making process. This includes the pulpy residue, known as “pomace”, and the insoluble material (or liquid sediments) known as “lees”.

These waste products often produce unpleasant odors and lead to environmental concerns. This was the issue facing Duck Pond Cellars, an award-winning winery located in Oregon’s beautiful Williamette Valley. Its on-site lagoon was full of pomace and lees, and required clean-out.
