Landfill Leachate Treatment - Brochure

Nasty Wastewater Arising from Garbage

Rain and snowmelt percolating through masses of organic and inorganic landfill waste create a toxic brew known as landfill leachate.

This high-strength wastewater is composed of dissolved and suspended materials, including inorganic and organic chemicals, bacteria and other microorganisms, dissolved gases such as methane and carbon dioxide, organic acids, heavy metals, ammonia compounds, and more.
