Municipal & Leachate
Landfill Leachate and Municipal Wastewater Treatment
Stricter discharge limits, ageing treatment plants and leachate from landfills. FjordFilter helps municipalities and inter-municipal companies with tailored, membrane-free treatment solutions.
Challenges
Challenges we solve for municipalities
Many municipalities face new requirements and ageing infrastructure at the same time. Typical challenges we help with:
Leachate from active and closed landfills with high levels of COD, nitrogen, metals and PFAS
Phosphorus and suspended solids (SS) that must be reduced to comply with the discharge permit
Stormwater and tunnel water containing particles, oil and heavy metals
The need for robust plants with low maintenance and low operating costs
Our solution
We combine electrocoagulation (EC), electro-oxidation (EO) and activated carbon polishing in a plant tailored to your water quality and requirements. The process is membrane-free and almost chemical-free, and capacity scales from 100 litres per hour upwards.
- 01
Analysis and testing
We map the composition of your water and the requirements in your discharge permit, and verify treatment performance with tests on your own water.
- 02
Tailored plant
We design a treatment plant based on Best Available Techniques (BAT) and local conditions.
- 03
Delivery and follow-up
We deliver, commission and follow up the plant to ensure stable operation and documented compliance.
Results from our tests
With electrocoagulation, we have measured the following reductions in different types of wastewater:
- Phosphorus
- up to99%
- Suspended solids
- up to98%
- Heavy metals
- up to98%
- PFAS
- up to99%
Up-to values. Results vary with water composition, so we always test on your own water before recommending a solution.
