Landfill Leachate Just ‘Evaporate’ the Problem

摘要

LFG-fired leachate evaporation is a novel technology attracting the attention of landfill owners because it offers an operational win-win. The technology uses a readily available resource at landfills, LFG, to remove liquid from landfill leachate via evaporation, thus abating this environmental liability onsite, often at a lower cost than conventional leachate treatment options. In addition, combusting LFG to evaporate leachate converts methane, a highly potent greenhouse gas, to carbon dioxide, which reduces overall greenhouse gas emissions.
