What are the comparative prices for different leachate processes?
There is nothing published that I know of which gives comparative prices between different leachate processes. The fact is that accurate comparative pricing between projects and processes is difficult because leachates vary so much in their strength and the nature of the contaminants. Not only that, the cost of the process is also very closely linked to the discharge water quality required. We spend a lot of our time investigating leachate discharge routes, negotiating and applying for discharge consents on behalf of our Clients. Until the details, of both the raw leachate quality volume and strength and the discharge route are known, the cost of the necessary process requirements cannot be estimated, and pricing cannot be achieved accurately. Nevertheless, once we have entered into discussions with the EA and Water Company, and have good data and development information for the landfill, we undertake a cost benefit analysis comparing all the preferred treatment process and discharge/d
