Olive mill wastewater

In this work, a simple and cost-effective pretreatment upstream an UF membrane operation for the purification of the main olive mill effluent streams (OME) is examined. The raw wastewater was processed by a pH-temperature (T) flocculation process formerly studied at lab scale in previous work. In the p

The possibility of complete fractionation of olive mill wastewater (OMW) was investigated using membrane technology. Combinations of different membrane processes were used for the fractionation of OMW into by-products that may be further developed to achieve reduction of the expenses involved. Ultra

Olive oil production results in important quantities of wastewater containing large amounts of total solids and organic carbon as well as low oil concentrations. This paper describes the treatment of olive mill wastewater (OMW) by combining an ultrafiltration (UF) technique and an advanced oxidation

Anaerobic digestion of olive mill wastewater (OMW) plus piggery effluent was carried out in an up-flow anaerobic filter type. The digester influent had up to 83% (v/v) of crude OMW with no need for chemical correction. The process converted 70-80% of the influent COD (20-60 kg COD m-3), produced 1-3
