Comparison of the performance of two reverse osmosis membranes for the final purification of olive mill wastewater [PDF]
Two quite different reverse osmosis (RO) polymeric membranes were examined for the final purification of olive mill wastewater from two-phase olive mills (OMW2): the first one is a thin-film composite (TFC) membrane consisting of polyamide active layer ...

Analysis of fouling resistances under dynamic filtration of pretreated olive mill wastewater on a loose reverse osmosis membrane [PDF]
In this work, a loose reverse osmosis (RO) membrane (Osmonics AK model), capable of offering beforehand higher fluxes under lower operating pressure than typical tight reverse osmosis membranes but still offering similar rejection, was used for the final

Vermicomposting of olive oil mill wastewaters
The disposal of olive oil mill wastewaters (OMW) represents a substantial environmental problem in Italy. A vermicompost process could be an alternative and valid method for the management of OMW. In a laboratory experiment, the OMW were absorbed onto a ligno-cellulosic solid matrix and 30 adult earthworms of Eisenia fetida specie were added.
