ABSTRACT: The olive mill waste waters (OMWW) generated from olive oil extraction is a major environmental concern since they are characterized by their role as a pollutant
(high organic and mineral matters) and their pH acid. The aim of this study was
to valorize (OMWW) by anaerobic fermentation in the presence of cow manure in
order to produce biogas and reduce their toxic load. Many tests were carried
out by fermenting (OMWW) with polyphenols in the presence of cow manure in
thermophile temperatures. The performance of this treatment was valuated
through measurements of biogas production and by the determination of different
parameters of fermented media (pH, volume of the biogas and polyphenols).
