The aim of the process under consideration is the degradation of organic pollutants contained in waste water from olive processing. Degradation takes place by processing the polluted water in a tank which contains soil that has certain chemical and biochemical characteristics. The effect of the treatment is an enrichment of the soil with readily-assimilable nutrient substances to the extent that the soil pollutant mixture becomes soil-compost. Neither sludge nor solid residual products are formed in the process, since they too undergo degradation. The treatment of water and sludge is completed on parcels of land underlain with a water-tight base. The watertight floor prevents filtration of polluting substances in the treated water from percolating into the underlying soil.
