Leachate Analysis from Landfills

Leachate Analysis evaluates pollution levels in landfill-generated liquid. It includes testing of BOD, COD, ammonia, and heavy metals. Aligned with CPCB guidelines and Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, it ensures compliance. It helps protect groundwater and improve landfill management. It supports regulatory compliance and environmental monitoring requirements.

What is the service: Analysis of leachate from landfill sites.

Who needs it: Landfill operators, municipalities.

Scope of service: We analyze landfill leachate, a highly polluted liquid, to assess its treatability and environmental risk. We test for high-strength parameters like COD, BOD, ammonia-N, chlorides, heavy metals, and organic pollutants. Results guide the design and operation of leachate treatment plants and monitor the long-term performance of landfill liners.

Process flow: Sample collection from leachate collection sumps or drains → Preservation for unstable parameters like ammonia and sulfide → Comprehensive laboratory analysis using methods suitable for high-strength wastewater → Comparison of results with leachate discharge standards or treatment plant inlet specifications → Preparation of leachate quality report.
