RESPEC PROJECT

Leachate Management System evaluation, design, multiple upgrades and permitting of a 25-year-old, 100,000 gallon/day treatment facility

Project Highlights

• Replaced system with a 150,000 gallon/day MBBR plant with physical and chemical treatment
• Biological denitrification / nitrification technology
• DAF clarification prior to discharge to POTW
• Added 360,000 gallons/day RO system to allow for the potential to stream discharge  treated leachate
• Cost-Benefit Analysis
• Strategic Expansion Phasing
• Advanced Effluent Compliance
• Capital & Operating Cost Assessment
• System Design
• NPDES and WQM permitting with PA DEP

Benefits (Engineering, Economics, & Environment)

• Enhanced Leachate Treatment Capacity
• Uninterrupted plant operation during construction/demolition
• Plant Efficiency Optimization
• Provided a sustainable and cost-efficient operation to avoided POTW-issued discharge surcharges
• Informed Financial Decision Making with development of a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis
• POTW and Stream Discharge Capability and Compliance
