Italian Minetek Evaporation System Package assists NSW Landfill Site with leachate management
Minetek Water partnered with a waste management facility in New South Wales, Australia, to deliver a comprehensive leachate management solution tailored to the site’s specific needs. The project involved deploying a 19 Floating Water Evaporator System Package to manage and reduce the leachate levels effectively. With a total volume throughput of 605 cubic meters per hour (2,662 gallons per minute), this solution provided a robust approach to managing leachate and maintaining site safety and environmental compliance. This case study explores how Minetek’s innovative evaporation technology enabled the facility to address its leachate challenges, ensuring sustainable operations and adherence to regulatory standards.
Location – NSW, Australia
Industry – Waste Management
Application – Leachate management
Product – 19 x Floating Water Evaporator System Package
Volume throughput – 605 m3/hour (2,662 GPM)
Brief
Due to ongoing waste processing, this waste management facility in New South Wales faced challenges with accumulating leachate levels in its storage areas. To mitigate the potential environmental risks and operational impacts associated with excess leachate, the facility required a reliable and effective leachate management solution that could efficiently reduce volumes and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
Challenge
Uncontrolled leachate levels posed several risks, including potential environmental contamination, regulatory non-compliance, and operational disruptions. These challenges could lead to costly fines, remediation efforts, or damage to the facility’s reputation. Efficiently managing leachate was crucial to maintaining safe and compliant operations while protecting the surrounding environment.
Solution
Minetek Water provided a solution with the deployment of a 19 Floating Water Evaporator System Package, designed to operate efficiently across the leachate storage areas. With a combined evaporation capacity of 605 cubic meters per hour (2,662 gallons per minute), these systems significantly reduced the volume of leachate, ensuring effective management and minimising environmental risks. The scalable and robust solution enabled the facility to maintain compliance with environmental regulations, safeguard its operations, and enhance overall site sustainability.
