Solid Urban Waste Landfills generate a process fluid in the volume of stored waste, called “Leachate”, due to infiltrations and leaching phenomena.
Leachate contains a lot of polluting substances and it is characterized by high concentrations of:
» Organic substances (COD, TOC, BOD5)
» Nitrogen Compounds (Ammonia)
» Heavy Metals
» Salinity (chlorides and suphates)
