The original Lagoon Type Leachate Treatment Plants (16 No. sites)
 

BENNADROVE LEACHATE TREATMENT PLANT

Operator: Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, Outer Hebrides, Scotland (Western Isles Council)
Operational: Autumn 1993 - to date.

This leachate treatment plant, which discharges to a nearby burn was designed to treat 130 m3/day, but has in fact, by careful operation and some plant modifications, consistently treated to a quality suitable for this watercourse discharge, in excess of 50% above the design capacity.

Why do we continue to display case studies of such old sites?
We agree that they are far from the “cutting edge”, and certainly not “state of the art” for the UK, and elsewhere. Nevertheless, the site owners continue to use them, and when asked we continue to provide support. Such designs continue to be appropriate for some projects, and in some countries.
