Leachate
2.Leachate
• Is the liquid that leaches from a landfill
• The generation of leachate is caused principally by
precipitation, percolating through waste deposited
in a landfill.
• Varies widely in composition according to age
( Sha Liu,2013)
• Landfill leachate classification vs. age,
Parameter Young Intermediate Old
Age (years) <5 5–10 >10
pH 6.5 6.5–7.5 >7.5
COD (mg/ L) >10,000 4000–10,000 <4000

3. Anaerobic Process
• A processes which micro-organisms break
down biodegradable material in the absence
of oxygen.
• Widely used for treating strong leachate.
• In this process the organic matter is converted to
methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2).
(Metcalf et al. 2003)
UASB (Up flow Anaerobic Sludge
Blanket)
• Continuous processes
• A single tank process & constructed out of
watertight material.
• Can achieve high removal of organic pollutants.
• Leachate enter the reactor from the bottom, and
flows upward.
• There is a sludge blanket and
treats the leachate as the leachate
flows through it.
• Bacteria living in the sludge,
break down organic matter by
anaerobic digestion transforming
into biogas
influent
4. Aerobic Process
• The process that essentially requires the presence of
molecular oxygen for metabolic activity of micro-
organisms
• Process normally fails in absence of oxygen
• To supply required oxygen Natural methods
Artificial methods
(Sha liu, 2013 & Metcalf et al. 2003)
SBR (Sequencing Batch Reactor)
• Discontinuous processes
• Treat the wastewater using the microorganism's
microbial metabolism
• Treatment systems based on activated sludge
• Complete mix activated sludge system without a
secondary clarifier
• One basin is used to complete number of
different sequence. Aeration and clarification are
accomplished in the tank
(Metcalf et al. 2003)
• SBR is an activated sludge process in which all
major steps occur in the same tank.
