The firm headquartered at Ball Mill Top Business Park, Holt Heath is building the cutting edge facility at the Glenlivet distillery beside the River Levet in Moray, Scotland, which is owned and operated by Chivas Brothers. Glenlivet whisky is biggest selling single malt brand globally and it is described as "the single malt that started it all".
Aquabio’s managing director Steve Goodwin said: "Glenlivet is a worldwide brand and Aquabio is delighted to be associated with such a well-known name. The company is making a significant investment at Moray to improve waste water quality. Aquabio’s 15 year track record of providing large scale water reuse in the UK drinks sector with low energy technology and high engineering standards was an important factor in the decision to choose Aquabio and we are proud to be working with Chivas Brothers on this prestigious project."
Aquabio was chosen by Chivas because of expertise in the use of state-of-the art proven membrane bioreactor technology to treat the effluent from the distillery. The new Plant will enable Chivas Brothers to increase capacity to handle the growth of the distillery as well as improvements in effluent discharge quality to the River Livet meeting stringent parameters. The project will be completed early in 2016 and will discharge the treated effluent to the River Livet.
Chivas Brothers’ engineering manager,Ewen Fraser said: “We’re delighted to be installing the state-of-art technology at The Glenlivet. Not only will it allow us to increase capacity but it also demonstrates our commitment to protecting resources and the natural environment.”
