Municipal solid waste landfills keep our neighborhoods healthy through carefully engineered processes and systems. To protect communities from the hazards of potential leakages from landfill leachate into groundwater or landfill gas into soil, Xylem offers a variety of solutions to safeguard a community’s precious resources.
Vast Array of Configurable and Flexible Leachate Solutions
Our range of solutions include liners to collect and contain leachate at the source. We offer biological, contaminant, and metals removal systems that can be configured to your site’s scale and unique leachate characteristics. Additionally, our mobile and field-erected systems can be deployed quickly to respond to your needs.
Weathering & Protecting All the Elements
Landfill gas can accumulate below ground and migrate through the soil. We can help you manage landfill gas accumulation underground through our soil vapor extraction (SVE) systems and the elimination of the collected methane through an internal combustion engine (ICE).
In times of heavy precipitation, treatment of surface water runoff may be necessary. Our solids removal systems (SRS) can be used to precipitate metals from collection basins to keep your groundwater and community safe.
Landfill leachate is the liquid that percolates through a landfill and is formed from the decomposition of organic waste, along with water that drains through the waste
