When to Install Reed Beds or Biological SBR Treatment
“Making a good choice whether to Install Reed Beds or Biological SBR Treatment Processes for Treating Landfill Leachate” The question often arises for landfill operators, of whether to use a “SBR” Leachate Treatment Process, or if the cheaper alternative of a reed bed can be used. The answer is that it depends entirely on the strength […]
How to Treat Landfill Leachate Using a Saltworks Crystallizer System
Until now, the search for the perfect Leachate Treatment System has remained a dull one for those that know leachate. Somehow, all those contaminants it contains have contrived to make the most commonly used solutions highly complex, dependent on advanced technologies, and hard to operate successfully. Read about the new technology in the SaltMaker Evaporator Crystallizer, for something completely new!
A History of Landfill Leachate
A History of Landfill Leachate How leachate is a very recent problem, and how it has been solved for the present generation. But, at what cost in the future? Are you worried about damage to the environment in the future from all that leachate sitting in old landfills? The alternative is to STOP landfilling as […]
The 3 Most Important Leachate Indicator Parameters
There are three very important leachate indicator parameters which are used as indicators to identify leachate contamination in any water sample analysed in a water quality laboratory. These three parameters can give an initial guide to anyone investigating what appears to be pollution occurring in the vicinity of a landfill, as to whether the source […]
Sanitary Landfill Leachate Past and Future
INTRODUCTION Within the last many years there have actually been major advances in the variety, engineering, and control of landfill sites; however, it is still a fact that at many sites the generation of very polluting sanitary landfill leachates is still a significant possible environmental problem to be conquered. Although research and experience continue to […]
High Strength Leachate
When people refer to high strength leachate they are normally referring to the landfill leachate from a sanitary landfill which has percolated slowly through the waste. That is leachate and has been extracted by the leachate collection and pumping system. Usually high strength leachate has ammoniacal nitrogen concentrations above 500 mg/l up to 3.500 mg/l, […]
Landfill Leachate Composition
Landfill leachate composition for United Kingdom Landfills was first published in the Waste Management Papers published by the UK Department of Environment. Waste Management Paper 26 contains the most recent table of Landfill Leachate Composition before the WMP series was superseded by later documents, notably the DoE’s Leachate Report of 1995. However, the original table, […]
