Sustainability
Located in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, Marble Distilling Co. is on a mission to become the most sustainable, zero waste distilling operation in the world. From sourcing all grains locally to designing and embracing leading-edge technologies that enable operational efficiencies and resource conservation, nothing is off the table at Marble. Marble Distillery has worked shoulder-to-shoulder with Siemens Solution Partner, Holbrook Service, to turn their vision for a sustainable future into the reality of running an emerging distillery. The Carbondale, Colorado destination is home to a craft distillery, tasting room, private club, and a boutique luxury inn, all designed to make every guest feel as though they’re a part of the Marble mission to save the planet. 
Siemens helped Marble Distilling Co. to improve the distilling process while conserving energy and natural resources. Siemens automation equipment and software are now critical to optimizing all aspects of the Marble operation:

  • Desigo Automation PXC4 controllers create more flexibility in programming and engineering to attain tighter temperature deadbands.
  • Siemens valves and actuators installed to automate and better control the distilling process; heat exchangers.
  • Siemens ball valves, actuators, and Desigo DXR room automation controllers, combined with automation system programming.
  • Desigo Control Point building management touch panels, which enable remote services to reduce need for onsite labor.
We’re operating at 25% of what we were before, which means that the PXC4 saves us approximately 200 million BTUs per year, or about 20% in annual cost savings – on top of what was already a very efficient system. It’s a huge improvement in energy savings.
Carey Shanks, Co-Founder of Marble Distilling Co.
  • 3x more production output without adding staff or equipment;  
  • Saving 200M BTUs/year is equivalent to the carbon sequestered by 12.5 acres of forest every year – just by adding the PXC4 controller;
  • 11.7 tons CO2 saved annualy;  
  • 75% more efficient than previous controls equipment;
  • 20% annual cost savings;  
  • 20% reduction in natural gas costs per month;
  • Savings of 26 hours still operation + labor per batch of vodka.
