Landfills and Composters

Leachate Treatment

Both landfills and compost sites generate leachate, a difficult wastewater to treat and one that often requires expensive hauling to distant municipal treatment sites or payment of steep surcharges for sewer disposal. If you’re paying more than 2-3 cents/gallon for treatment, you should consider onsite treatment with Digested Organic’s Ultrafiltration or Forward Osmosis systems.

Ask Our Experts

For most leachates, we can recover >95% of the wastewater as clean water suitable for discharge to nearby waterways, along with a concentrated waste that can undergo solidification onsite for disposal at the facility or be hauled offsite for disposal.

PFAS are a set of emerging contaminants that have been found in many landfill leachates. Our Forward Osmosis technology has been found to remove PFAS, along with other traditional contaminants like BOD and ammonia.
