Industrial water treatment plant at Finca El Paraíso coffee farm in Piendamó, Cauca

Water Treatment

At Finca El Paraíso, we know that specialty coffee begins with respect for the land and water. That's why, in addition to growing and processing the most exceptional coffees, we're proud to have a state-of-the-art industrial water treatment plant. This innovation not only guarantees the sustainability of our processes but also protects our natural resources. Because when we care for water, we PRESERVE LIFE!

Clean Technology

Our coffee processing wastewater treatment plant is compact, efficient, and designed with the latest in environmental engineering. It begins with a static screening system, ideal for removing large solids from the wastewater. An equalization tank then stabilizes the flow and organic load, creating perfect conditions for the entire process to run like clockwork. Yes, even the water follows a quality routine at Finca El Paraíso.

Conscious Coffee

At the heart of the system are the acidogenesis and methanogenesis reactors, where the (biological, of course) magic happens. There, specialized microorganisms degrade organic matter, leaving the water ready for its final step. And how does this process end? With advanced filtration through sand and gravel beds, ensuring the water comes out clean, clear, and with zero environmental impact.

Sustainable Coffee

This process not only meets the most stringent environmental regulations, but also allows us to reuse water in agricultural operations, reduce our ecological impact, and maintain the integrity of the natural environment that gives life to our coffee. An investment in clean technology that translates into more ethical, more sustainable, and more delicious coffee.
