Originally posted on wasteadvantagemag.com | February 2, 2025 Landfill operators seeking to optimize their leachate treatment processes should consider how advanced membrane solutions could benefit their facilities. With proven success in…
PFAS, Heavy Metals & Organics: Why RO is the Ultimate Leachate Solution
The Challenge of Landfill Leachate Treatment Landfill leachate is a complex and highly variable wastewater stream, often containing a mix of heavy metals, organic pollutants, salts, and persistent contaminants like per- and polyfluoroalkyl…
Unlocking the Full Potential of Water Reuse in Landfill Operations
Landfills face a dual challenge: managing leachate and meeting sustainability goals. Historically, leachate— the liquid that forms when rainwater flows through waste —has been treated and either disposed of or discharged, often at a significant…
From Directive to Dilemma: Tackling High-Strength Leachate with Advanced Membranes
The European Union Landfill Directive, implemented to minimize environmental impacts and promote sustainable waste management, has undoubtedly succeeded in reducing the volume of waste sent to landfills. Waste landfilling in the EU has dropped from…
The Hidden Threat of Landfill Leachate: How RO Membranes Offer a Sustainable Solution
The Growing Threat of Landfill Leachate Landfill leachate is an increasingly concerning byproduct of waste disposal, formed when rainwater seeps through layers of landfill waste, picking up a variety of pollutants along the way – things like heavy…
Reducing Environmental Impact: How Advanced RO Membranes Improve Landfill Leachate Management
Landfills are a fact of life, but the environmental impacts they generate can be significant. One of the biggest challenges they pose is landfill leachate—a liquid formed when rainwater filters through waste. This leachate can carry a variety of…
PFAS Removal in Landfill Leachate: The Effectiveness of RO Membranes
As landfill operators face increasingly stringent regulations and growing public concern over water quality, the challenge of managing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in leachate has become a critical focus. Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes…
Regulatory Compliance in Landfills: How RO Membranes Tackle the Fouling Challenge
Landfill leachate is a liquid that forms when rainwater flows through waste in landfills, picking up harmful substances like heavy metals, ammonia, and chemicals along the way. If not properly treated, it can contaminate nearby water sources and…
