Industry | n. phr.
a semisolid  by-product that is extracted from the  paste in the  two-phase system and consists of  vegetation water and  pomace. It is used by the  extraction industry to produce  olive-residue oil.

Example

electronic power companies in Spain are dipping into olive oil for fuel. A plant in the southern city of Benamejí is burning crushed olive pulp and skins to produce 12 megawatts of electricity.

Additional information

the degree of humidity of  crushed olive pulp (60-70%) is higher than that of the  pomace obtained in the  three-phase system, in which  oil, pomace and  mill wastewater are extracted separately. By contrast, the  two-phase system is environmentally safer since it produces no mill wastewater.
