Leachate Water in Landfills

If leachate is released into the environment untreated, it can have significant negative impacts. There is a risk of soil and groundwater contamination, which damages ecosystems and jeopardizes drinking water resources.
The disposal of leachate poses particular challenges for landfill operators, as it can incur immense costs for transportation and delivery to suitable treatment plants. Furthermore, landfill operators and wastewater treatment plants are subject to varying local regulatory requirements, and the treatment plants themselves are often technically and capacity-wise limited in their ability to treat leachate, which can lead to the treatment plant operators refusing to accept the leachate.
 

BOLLFILTER offers a comprehensive treatment process for leachate based on modern and efficient membrane technology, tailored to the leachate composition and local discharge criteria. Our solutions are customized to the specific on-site conditions and can be implemented as a containerized system or an in-house installation.
This reduces the initial costs of the treatment plant to a minimum and eliminates the immense transportation and disposal costs associated with leachate.
The treatment of leachate using our efficient and resource-conserving process produces a high-purity permeate that is suitable for agricultural or industrial reuse and meets discharge criteria for near-natural surface waters.
Depending on on-site conditions, the maximally reduced volumes of the resulting concentrates are simply disposed of via evaporation technology or discharge into disposal sources, or returned to already closed and sealed landfill sections.
