Leachate

Brief

Leachate generation has been a major problem for municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills, having significant threat to surface water and groundwater.

ROCHEM, with its vast experience and deep knowledge of water and wastewater treatment, offers cost effective, innovative technologies to treat leachate.

Case Study:

Challenge:

One of the Municipal Corporation in India was looking for leachate treatment solution to achieve required parameters for disposal as per the PCB norms.

Solution:

ROCHEM RO technology utilizing an innovative process configuration treated highly contaminated aqueous steam - Leachate

Effluent characteristics were as follows:

1. Raw Leachate

Inlet To ROCHEM system	Treated Water
TDS – 13000 ppm	TDS < 500 ppm
COD – 2500 ppm	COD < 20 ppm
BOD – 800 ppm	BOD < 10 ppm

Treatment Scheme offered:

Overall recovery: 85%
