Landfill Leachate(Groundwater/Wastewater)Treatment

Current technology for installation and management of landfills mitigates against leaks through landfill liner or cap design and installation practice, but many older installations have leached into the area beneath and in the vicinity - not only the surrounding unsaturated ground, but also often reaching the water table and groundwater. To prevent further environmental damage, both ground and groundwater in the vicinity of these landfills often require treatment. For the unsaturated zone, soil vapor extraction techniques have proven to be effective. For extraction and treatment of the groundwater, the Activated Carbon Adsorption is an effective solution to landfill leachate treatment that provides for organic contaminant removal and allows for dis ge.
Current design landfill design may also incorporate effective collection of landfill leachates before they reach the surrounding groundwater. This water can be collected in pipes or trenches, or can migrate into the shallow groundwater, which is collected using clay barriers and withdrawal wells. This water can then be collected for treatment and dis ge. Activated Carbon is a landfill leachate adsorption that removes organic compounds from this collected wastewater.
