Managing waste high in BODs, CODs, TDS/TSSs, etc isn't just a hassle—it’s a risk. It requires extra labor, invites regulatory scrutiny, and eats into your bottom line. Worst of all, it pulls your attention away from what matters most: crafting quality beverages.
Meknology helps you do exactly that. Our patented sustainable system transforms your byproducts into valuable, marketable resources, saving you money and creating new income streams—all while simplifying your operations and saving the planet!
Dried Distillers’ Grains (DDGs) – valuable high-protein animal feed
Phosphorus-Enhanced Biochar Fertilizer – regenerative, carbon-rich soil booster
Potable Water – clean and reusable for closed loop wash system
Avoid disposal fees—just new revenue streams
Waste management often interrupts production flow. Staff time and labor diverted to deal with waste logistics.
Hauling, treating and managing spent grain and wastewater is expensive. Ongoing tipping fees and treatment plant charges add up fast.
Strict environmental regulations around wastewater discharge and stillage handling. Risk of fines or shutdowns due to non-compliance.
Difficulty finding farmers or partners to take waste consistently. Seasonal demand or logistical barriers for spent grain pickup.
Concerns over carbon footprint and sustainability. Pressure to adopt greener practices from investors, customers, or certifiers.
Large volumes of wet, heavy waste that spoil quickly. On-site storage is limited and can create odors or other issues.
Nutrients and organics in stillage and wastewater go unused. Missed opportunity to turn waste into secondary products or revenue.

1. What kinds of waste can your system process?
We convert spent wash, stillage, and wastewater—typically considered disposal liabilities—into high-value resources like DDGs, fertilizer, and clean water.
2. How does this reduce or eliminate our disposal costs?
By processing waste on-site, you avoid expensive hauling, tipping fees, and third-party treatment costs. Plus, you create products you can sell or reuse OR sign up for our resale and PROFIT SHARING program.
3. What are Dried Distillers’ Grains (DDGs), and why are they valuable?
DDGs are high-protein, nutrient-rich byproducts used as livestock feed. They’re in demand by farmers and feed markets, giving you a direct revenue stream from your spent grain. They are other markets such as bioreactors and (word for taking biological ingredients to make plastic) and hydroponics.
4. What’s phosphorus-enhanced biochar fertilizer, and who wants it?
It’s a carbon-rich soil amendment packed with nutrients. Farmers, vineyards, and regenerative ag markets are hungry for sustainable fertilizer alternatives—making this a hot commodity.
5. Can your system really produce potable water from our wastewater?
Yes. Our patented tech treats wastewater to potable standards—allowing it to be reused for cleaning, cooling, or even bottling (depending on your application and local regulations).
6. How does this help with environmental compliance?
Our system reduces your wastewater discharge, making it easier to meet environmental standards and avoid fines. Plus, using circular practices strengthens your sustainability profile.
7. Is the system scalable for small craft producers or large operations?
Absolutely. We offer modular, scalable setups tailored to your production size—whether you’re a microbrewery or a major distillery. Also ask about our waste pickup service options for size constrained breweries.
8. How long does it take to see a return on investment (ROI)?
Most customers start seeing a return within 12–24 months, depending on waste volume and the resale value of recovered products.
9. What kind of support or maintenance is required?
Our systems are designed for low-touch operation with remote monitoring and full service support.
10. What makes your solution different from traditional waste treatment options?
We don’t just “treat” waste—we upcycle it into valuable products. It’s not a cost center anymore—it’s a profit driver and a sustainability win.
