A Case Study in Leachate Scale Removal
A "Big 3" Landfill - United States
CUSTOMER:
MSW Landfill - Midwest United States
PROBLEM:
Aluminum dross creating accelerated heat in leachate creating havoc on force mains, pumps, gravity lines and more.
SOLUTION:
A landfill located in the U.S. Midwest was starting to experience severe leachate scale formation site-wide. This was due to a key variable for leachate formation (heat); created by a large quantity of aluminum dross that entered the landfill. GII Scale Control was able to analyze the leachate samples and the site layout dynamics to come up with a customized leachate scale removal solution. that has removed a severe leachate scale formation issue.
By December 2017, the site's most severe leachate scale formation issue was resolved and the site had gone from a single test Leachate Scale Control System to 22 active systems on site. The leachate is flowing freely.
