“…The most feasible of these processes is the anaerobic treatment of OMW that has the advantage of producing energy in the form of methane instead of consuming energy [1,2]. Anaerobic treatment is particularly of interest for OMW because of its high organic strength and its seasonal production.…”

“…The process also has low nutrients requirement, a feature that is particularly important for treating wastewaters like OMW that have relatively low nitrogen content, while the COD is high. The low decay rates of the anaerobic bacteria allow the process to carry out seasonal operations at campaign industries without continuous feed requirement [1,9,10]. Anaerobic treatment may function as a pre-treatment or even as an alternative to aerobic treatment.…”

Jordan watersheds heavily suffer from the seasonal discharge of highly concentrated olive mill wastewater (OMW). Environmental concern and protection of the scarcely available water resources calls for adequate treatment of OMW prior to discharge. This paper describes an inventory that was made with the aim of developing pollution prevention strategies for the olive mill sector of the Jerash Governorate in Jordan. Emphasis was given to compiling regional research which shows that modern anaerobic technology may play an important role in treating the highly concentrated OMW. The paper also presents pre and post treatment options for achieving local discharge criteria. Based on literature review and current insights three innovative treatment strategies are presented for OMW in the Jerash region.

“…The sediments, from both OMW and domestic wastewater, undergo anaerobic fermentation, resulting in the escape of foul odours and an increase in the acidity of the wastewater [2]. The main effects of OMW on municipal wastewater treatment plants are related to their concentration, composition and to their seasonal production [1]. OMW is one of the most polluting agro-industrial residues.…”

Jordan watersheds heavily suffer from the seasonal discharge of highly concentrated olive mill wastewater (OMW). Environmental concern and protection of the scarcely available water resources calls for adequate treatment of OMW prior to discharge. This paper describes an inventory that was made with the aim of developing pollution prevention strategies for the olive mill sector of the Jerash Governorate in Jordan. In the present work, an inventory was made of the Jerash Governorate olive mills with emphasis on the production methods and presenting the concomitant pollution loads coming from selected mills. Methods which can reduce water consumption based on cleaner production principles are presented.

“…This technique presents a number of advantages in comparison to the classical aerobic processes: (a) a high degree of purification with high-organic-load feeds can be achieved; (b) low nutrient requirements are necessary; (c) small quantities of excess sludge are usually produced; and (d) a combustible biogas is generated (Dalis et al 1996;Zouari and Ellouz 1996;Borja et al 2006). Combined aerobic-anaerobic systems have also been used effectively in the bioremediation of OMWs (Hamdi and Garcia 1991;Borja et al 1995).…”
