Landfill Leachate Evaporation Using Geomembranes
Using a pump system in a storage pond to spray leachate over the water surface or by dripping the leachate onto the pond’s exposed geomembrane liner along the perimeter.When sprayed onto the liner — black, heavy plastic that has been heated by the sun—leachate runs down the coating. As water evaporates, the volume of the leachate is reduced.
