Market

modern olive oilWastewater treatment is of increasing importance as the world population grows and global environmental issues become more urgent. The market volume of treatment of agro-industrial high load organic wastewater is estimated at about $5 billion.

The market can be divided into the following market segments:

  • Agriculture: cowsheds, pig farms
  • Food industries: dairies, wineries, olive oil mills, oil industry, meat industry, fish industry
  • Chemical and biotechnology industries: refineries, petrochemical industries
  • Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics

The Agrobics technology offers a solution in many different contexts:

  • Applications in which present methods are cost prohibitive, such as olive oil mills, where wastewater is generally dumped into local rivers
  • Applications where relatively small amount of wastewater does not justify major capital investments, e.g. small and medium size wineries
  • Applications where toxic wastewater requires dehydration and dumping into remote centers
