However, as these techniques have a high fixed and operational cost, the majority of olive mills cannot afford to adopt them, perpetuating the pollution problems. As the cost for installing such efficient systems seems not decreasing, a profit from possible useful by-products, deriving from OMW treatment, could contribute significantly to the problem solution. As an example, the main objective of the research project PANELEA is the separation of OMW, by using appropriate processes (mainly ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis), into valuable fractions: a “nutritive fraction” that can be used as fertilizer or animal feed complement, a “phytotoxic fraction” suitable as ecological herbicide, and pure water for recycling. These products it is expected to attain a significant market value and thus the whole process of OMW treatment turns out as profitable and viable. The PANELEA partnership, in the framework of the PANELEA research project, and intending to disseminate the OMW treatment methods with technical and economical feasibility, organises a scientific Workshop on December 17, 2004, at the Institute of Chemical Engineering and High Temperature Chemical Processes, Patras, Greece. In this Workshop, Research & Technology Development (RTD) performers and industrial partners in projects funded by EU are invited to attend and to present some of their results, related to the above subject. Moreover, olive mill owners’ associations (potential end-users) are invited from Spain, Italy, and Greece, as well as relevant scientists and officers, in order to spread out at the maximum possible way the exploitation possibilities of the innovative techniques on cost-effective utilization of OMW.
