R. Borsani et B. Ferrando, ULTRAFILTRATION PLANT FOR OLIVE VEGETATION WATERS BY POLYMERIC MEMBRANE BATTERIES, Desalination, 108(1-3), 1997, pp. 281-286
Within the reconversion activities of the industrial complex of S. Enf
emia Lamezia (Ct, Italy) into an environmental service plant system, a
vegetation water treatment plant was started in November 1995 suitabl
e to treat a nominal capacity of 300 m(3)/d flowing from olive-oil mil
ls. The treatment plant is based on the following steps: 1) Dirty wate
r storage, 2) oil removal system, 3) Settling of suspended solids, 4)
Tangential filtration on polymeric membrane, 5) Eluate treatment by me
ans of polymeric membranes in a double-step biological process complyi
ng with Italian standards. The finaI reconversion of the industrial co
mplex into an environmental service plant system will be composed of a
sewage treatment line, an oil vegetation treatment line, a solid wast
e incineration line, and a compost solid waste line.
