Anaerobic Digestion of Landfill Leachate for Energy Generation: Pipe-Dream or an Opportunity?

leachater — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 19:28:22 +0000

Anaerobic digestion is becoming increasingly popular in this age of high energy prices, and many more people are realising that whereas aerobic treatment systems consume large amounts of expensive energy, anaerobic digestion is a process which does the opposite. In fact it produces a net energy output. It is not surprising therefore, that many [...]

What is the Drainable Porosity of a Landfill?

leachater — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 14:38:27 +0000

When designing any leachate management system the assessment of the most economic method for leachate treatment and disposal is heavily dependent upon the flow rate and duration of flow. A high capital cost option such as on site leachate treatment will be worthwhile, but only if the total volume the plant treats daily is sustained [...]

How Contaminants Leach Out of Landfill Waste and Into Leachate

leachater — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 01:28:31 +0000

A major problem arising from landfills is the discharge of leachate which is formed by water passing through the tip and thus becoming contaminated with various organic and inorganic pollutants. Ths subsequent movement of the leachate into the surrounding soil, ground water or surface water could lead to severe pollution problems. The mechanisms by which [...]
