First paragraph: Oil extraction from olives does not require great quantities of water. The effluent produced during the extraction presents a high organic load, however, which has to be treated in order to avoid damaging the quality of the water into which the effluent is discharged. In Table 5.10 a source distribution of olive-oil processing effluents (OPEs) is shown. The tap water required for the olive-oil extraction varies mainly in relation to the type of extraction system (continuous or discontinuous) [42].
