Proper Treatment and Energy Recovery through Codigestion of Two Phase Olive Mill Waste
نویسنده
چکیده
Many agrofood industries produce huge amount of waste in a form of biomass as a byproduct. Irregular disposal of this waste can cause a serious harm to the environment. However, such waste has received much attention as a renewable energy source. Recently, protecting the environment through a safe disposal of waste has gained much attention in order to guarantee a sustainable environment and support future needs. Moreover, the utilization of biowaste for energy production will decrease the dependency on the limited non-renewable energy sources.

Raw and Microbiologically Detoxified Olive Mill Waste and their Impact on Plant Growth
Olive-oil production is of vital importance for the economy and social life of the Mediterranean region; however, the side effect of the olive-oil mill activity is the generation of enormous quantities of biotoxic olive-mill waste within a short period of three months. Numerous physicochemical and biological methods have been used in the past for the treatment of both olive mill wastewater (OMW...
متن کاملInfluence of Substrate Concentration on the Anaerobic Degradability of Two-Phase Olive Mill Solid Waste: A Kinetic Evaluation
The evolution of modern technology for olive oil extraction has affected the industrial sector depending directly on the by-products obtained. The traditional three-phase continuous centrifugation process for olive oil extraction was introduced in the 1970s, notably to increase the processing capacity and extraction yield and to reduce labour. This three-phase manufacturing process of olive oil...

Olive Mill Wastewater (OMWW) treatment is considered to be one of the main challenges that Mediterranean countries face. Although several procedures and technologies are mentioned in the literature, these techniques have several disadvantages or have been limited to laboratory pilot validation without posterior industrial projection. Recently, an advanced environmental friendly strategy for the...
متن کاملProtein increase and lysine production by a Paecilomyces variotii strain grown on two-phase olive mill waste.
Two-phase olive-mill waste, the so-called "ecological", has been treated with a Paecilomyces variotii isolate in solid state fermentation experiments. The growth of the microorganism was estimated by measuring the production of carbon dioxide, using gas chromatography. A 46% increase of the protein content was achieved at the fermented product, after molasses addition at the initial mixture. Th...
متن کاملAssessment of two-phase olive mill solid waste and microalgae co-digestion to improve methane production and process kinetics.
Olive mill solid waste (OMSW) is a pollutant waste coming from olive oil elaboration by the two-phase centrifugation system. OMSW has a high organic matter content and unbalanced carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio, 31/1, which avoids obtaining high methane yields in the anaerobic digestion of this waste. In the present study a microalgae, Dunaliella salina, was employed as co-substrate for the OMSW...
