THE CHALLENGE
The challenge with leachate
01
A confirmed PFAS source
Sampling influent waste streams routinely identifies landfill leachate as a PFAS source — often before a facility has a plan for it.
02
Discharge limits are tightening
Utilities are proactively targeting a minimum of 70% total detectable PFAS reduction (EPA Method 1633) ahead of anticipated permit requirements.
03
Trucked-in leachate has no easy home
Leachate hauled from multiple landfills varies in composition and is often sent straight to a WWTP not equipped to remove PFAS before it mixes with domestic sewage.
04
Disposal just moves the liability
Offsite disposal of captured PFAS media or concentrate doesn’t eliminate the problem — it relocates it, and the cost and risk downstream with it.
THE RECOMMENDED SOLUTION
Concentrate onsite, destroy onsite, discharge clean
WHY THIS APPROACH
Built for leachate’s specific economics
Cuts transport & disposal cost
Concentrating PFAS into a small foamate volume before destruction means far less to haul or dispose of offsite.
Meets indirect discharge permits
Treating leachate before it mixes with domestic sewage helps utilities stay ahead of NJPDES-style permit limits.
No secondary waste stream
Closed-loop concentration and destruction means the PFAS doesn’t reappear as someone else’s liability.
Scales with your leachate volume
From a single hauled load to a dedicated pretreatment facility — the same closed-loop system scales up.
REGULATORY CONTEXT
Many utilities are proactively targeting PFAS reduction ahead of anticipated NJPDES-style permit requirements — not waiting for enforcement to catch up.
REAL RESULTS
Onsite PFAS removal for landfill leachate at PVSC
Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission — the largest wastewater facility in New Jersey — piloted E2METRIX’s closed-loop Olift® + Obreak® system on trucked-in landfill leachate ahead of anticipated NJPDES PFAS limits, eliminating the need for offsite disposal.
