Through a centralized landfill leachate treatment facility, designed and installed by U.S. Filter (Palm Desert, Calif.), the South Central Counties Solid Waste Agency`s (SWA, formerly Bedford-Fulton-Huntingdon) municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill in Hopewell, Pa., has been able to treat its leachate on-site cost-effectively. The staged biological treatment system treats more than 12,500 gallons per day (gpd) of leachate, reducing chemical oxygen demand (COD) by greater than 95% and ammonia by greater than 98%. The system also reduces metals concentrations in the leachate, making it suitable for discharge. Additionally, the South Central Counties SWA has reduced its landfill operating costs, as it no longer hauls the waste off-site.
