Landfill Leachate Treatment
As a leader in the development of wastewater treatment, NSU works with landfill owners and developers to finance, build, and operate on-site leachate treatment that helps to reduce the costs associated with hauling the material off-site.Leachate is generated as a result of rain that percolates through decomposing solid waste in a landfill and flows out of the waste material. This leachate is pumped out of the landfill and is either treated on-site and discharged to a stream or sewer, or it is trucked off-site for treatment. Leachate must be treated to minimize the risk of contaminating groundwater or creating other environmental hazards.
There are three main types of technology that NSU uses to treat leachate wastewater:
- Biological
- Physical/Chemical
- Membrane Bioreactors
Using a simple economic analysis, NSU engineers its solutions to fit the needs of our client and is able to reduce a landfill’s carbon footprint and make it more sustainable for the long-run. Let NSU determine the best solution for your leachate treatment process.
