Summary

Comparison between the conventional method of the tartaric stabilization of must and a continuous system. The author summarizes the trials implemented on the two plants. He describes the continuous plant and details the costs in both cases : oenological products, energy and maintenance. The results are: 1) the energy costs per hectoliter are 20% of the total cost in the continuous system, vs 88% in the conventional one; 2) the decrease in total costs per hectoliter, including oenological products and energy, in the case of continuous system, vs the conventional one, is 564%; 3) energy costs in the case of floating are much lower than in the case of vacuum filtration (ESP 1.03 per hectoliter, vs 8.98). Nevertheless, for the 1992 campaign, total costs in both cases were alike, because the floating system was used below its optimum capacity. J.G.
