  7. Discussion and Interaction • A discussion period: • followed each seminar lecture • was the closing session of each training day • Several issues were discussed, particularly: • problems facing the already existing local plants • treatment technologies that are most favorable in the Lebanese context • difficulties with anaerobic treatment application in Lebanon, and olive waste treatment and reuse • cost-effectiveness of systems used worldwide
