Join the Resource Loop Leachate Revolution
About Leachate Recovery Systems
Landfill leachate recovery practices can vary from one site to the next based on the nature of the leachate, how old the site is, the methods used to recover the leachate and what is done with the leachate once recovered.
Leachate can vary in its flow rate, viscosity and corrosiveness even from bore to bore or sump on the same site. Individually, these variables can be quite easily managed. However it is the combination of these variables that make reliable and efficient pumping difficult to achieve.
With these variables in mind, an air-operated landfill leachate recovery pumping system has several
advantages over other methods of pumping leachate such as:
• Increased safety due to NOT having to run power lines around the landfill site
• Added safety due to NOT having a 240V electrical power supply close to a bore and potentially
explosive environment (methane gas)
• Cost savings with no power infrastructure needed close to bores
• Easy to maintain with few mechanical parts
• Adjusts to varying bore yields
• Handles solids and corrosive fluids better than other pumps
• Self-regulating (shuts down automatically when there is no fluid to pump and restarts when fluid is
detected)
• Multiple pumps can be operated and controlled from one power source
• Capable of operating 24/7
Designed to handle low flow or varying yield bores; solids and corrosive fluids; extreme pumping conditions and bores located remote from power are some of the unique features of the Airwell pumping system making it ideal for leachate recovery on tailing dams and landfill sites.
The Airwell Group has been manufacturing and installing direct air displacement leachate recovery systems for tailings dams and landfill sites for nearly 30 years in Australia and currently has systems in operation over sixteen landfill locations around Australia. As well as its landfill leachate recovery capabilities, the Airwell pumping system is also ideal for methane gas collection line dewatering and is used for both purposes (often in conjunction with each other) in a number of landfill sites.
