nuright02Leachate Generation and Treatment at the Bukit Tagar Landfill, Malaysia

Development of the 130Mm3 mega-landfill at Bukit Tagar near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, represents a major step forward in waste management technology for Malaysia’s largest city and the surrounding Klang Valley region. The key elements of the leachate treatment plant design are outlined, and initial performance data are presented, with discussion of the site's challenging process design requirements.

Design and Operation Of Cost- Effective Leachate Treatment Schemes at UK Landfills

Recent Case Studies by Howard Robinson, Jonty Olufsen and Steve Last. This paper has won the CIWM’s James Jackson award for the best paper presented to the Institution during 2005.

Torbay 2006: Use of Reed-Bed Systems to Provide Environmetally Friendly
Control of Leachate from Old Landfills

TEN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE FROM A SITE IN WILTSHIRE. This is an Update paper presented to the CIWM, and provides additional data for the previous paper presented a few years back. Reed Beds constructed on the surface of the landfill, at Monument Hill (Fomer) Landfill Site, Wiltshire, UK.

Leachate Treatment Worldwide is a recently published magazine article (November 2005).

A nine page article which describes the similarities between leachates from large, deep & well run municipal waste landfills worldwide, and concludes that leachate treatment plants can now be reliably designed for all such sites. Water quality data and case studies are included.

Best Available Techniques For Landfill Leachate Extraction and Pumping? Proceedings of Waste 2004 Conference, Stratford-upon-Avon, UK.

This paper discusses the options available for leachate extraction; from auger driven round cased boreholes to precast and in-situ concrete wells and upslope risers. The range of pumping systems available is also described.

Leachate Characteristics Arising From The Foot and Mouth Mass Burial Site in Scotland. Proceedings of the Int’n’l Waste & Landfill Symposium, Sardinia 2003.

The 2001 outbreak of Foot & Mouth Disease (FMD) affected many rural areas throughout the United Kingdom. Premises infected with the disease had their stock slaughtered and disposed. This paper describes a mass burial site which was located at Birkshaw Forest near Lockerbie, and includes data from studies on the leachate quality which resulted.

The Challenge of Controlling Emissions from Landfills. Paper presented to The National Waste Management Summit, 29th - 30th April 2003, Ireland

Includes; health impacts of living close to landfill sites; presence and treatment of trace organic compounds in landfill leachates, and the benefits of Mechanical Biological Pretreatment of household wastes on subsequent emission releases.

Compliance of UK Landfills with EU Pollution Emission Register Legislation: Development of a Reporting Protocol

A paper which gives details of research work undertaken in preparation for the UK implementation of IPC Regulations for Landfill Sites.

Advanced Leachate Treatment at Buckden Landfill, Huntingdon, UK. CIWM Annual Conference & Exhibition 2002

This paper, which describes operational experience this Biological Leachate Treatment Plant, was presented to the Landfill Workshop, in June 2002. Includes running (power) costs.

State-of-the-Art Landfill Leachate Treatment Systems
in the UK & Ireland

A paper which gives details of a selection of Landfill Sites, with plant performance data.Paper presented to the IWM Annual Exhibition & Conference 1999.

In-situ Monitoring of the Unsaturated Zone Beneath Stangate East Landfill Site: Sixteen Years of Detailed Data

Final paper, reporting on a detailed record of the movement of leachate through the unsaturated zone. This has provided strong evidence that at this sensitive site, the use of attenuation processes as part of the landfill design, can effectively protect the water environment. Intermediate technology.

Waste Management on a Grand Scale - NENT Landfill and Leachate Treatment Plant, Hong Kong EPD

This article was originally published in the October 1997 edition of Wastes Management the magazine of the UK Institute of Waste Management.

Use of Reed Bed Polishing Systems to treat Landfill Leachates to very high standards

A paper on leachate treatment by Reed Beds constructed on the surface of the landfill, at Monument Hill (Fomer) Landfill Site, Wiltshire, UK.

Classic Article
Timescale for Completion. Published in Surveyor Magazine 1993.

An article which discusses the long time periods of centuries which will be needed before modern landfill sites will become harmless. Includes an "disturbingly simple" calculation to prove this point.

Classic 1985 Paper
Attenuation of Leachate in a Designed, Engineered and Instrumented Unsaturated Zone beneath a Domestic Waste Landfill

This paper discusses research at Stangate Landfill, into the “dilute and disperse” type landfilling techniques of that time in the UK. This entailed the use of intergranular unsaturated zones beneath these landfill sites, designed to act as a biofilter. (Contact us for additional follow-up papers.) Intermediate technology of interest to all those involved in landfill designs in developing nations.
