PFAS Landfill Leachate Treatment
Aquatech’s PFAS landfill leachate solutions handle complex comingled waste streams with separation and destruction technologies. Flexible, compliant, and cost-effective
PFAS Landfill Leachate Treatment Solutions
PFAS in landfill leachate is one of the most challenging and complex wastewater streams to manage. Leachate contains a highly variable and concentrated mix of contaminants, in hugely varying volumes, and increasingly, publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) are imposing stricter pretreatment requirements on landfills to reduce PFAS loading on their systems. For landfill operators, this creates immense pressure to find a reliable and cost-effective on-site treatment solution.
Aquatech specializes in engineering custom PFAS landfill leachate treatment systems designed specifically for the rigors of landfill leachate. We understand that simply capturing PFAS is not enough; these compounds must be permanently destroyed to prevent their re-release into the environment and eliminate long-term liability. Our end-to-end, on-site solutions provide landfill operators with a single, accountable partner for achieving regulatory compliance and sustainable PFAS management. In a market where electrochemical oxidation is expected to be a dominant solution, Aquatech delivers a field-proven, integrated platform.
Why choose Aquatech?
We Tackle Leachate’s Unique Complexity
No two landfill leachate streams are the same. The chemical makeup can change with weather, waste age, and composition, making a standardized treatment approach ineffective. Aquatech’s solution is built on a foundation of deep diagnostic testing. Our process begins at our applied testing center in Pennsylvania, where our dedicated PFAS specialists and water treatment engineers determine the specific PFAS compounds and co-contaminants present and their concentrations. We simulate various treatment processes to design the most robust and efficient system for your specific leachate chemistry, avoiding expensive and time-consuming field pilots.
Robust On-Site Destruction for True Remediation
Our experts ensure a permanent landfill solution by integrating advanced separation and destruction technologies in a single, streamlined process on-site. Using powerful technologies from our comprehensive suite such as electrochemical oxidation, we break down PFAS molecules at their source. This ensures you are not just meeting discharge permits but truly eliminating a persistent environmental threat.
Worry-Free Compliance
The regulatory landscape is continually shifting. Our flexible leachate PFAS removal approach, which includes rental options, allows you to stay ahead by always implementing the state-of-the-art in solutions that align with your operational budget.
Flexible Financial Models for Any Operator
We recognize that many regional and municipal landfill operators face significant capital constraints. That’s why Aquatech offers flexible deployment models for PFAS landfill leachate treatment that make cutting-edge technology accessible and affordable. Our modular and mobile rental fleet can be deployed rapidly to your site, converting a major capital expenditure into a predictable operating cost.
