Bleakdown is a closed landfill site on the Isle of Wight, where an existing simple leachate treatment plant is not presently able to treat fluctuating volumes of relatively weak leachate generated primarily from perimeter breakouts that are being intercepted.
Phoenix Engineering has been commissioned to advise on the best solution for leachate management and treatment, and is currently carrying out a review of existing data, and pilot-scale biological leachate treatment trials, which will result in advice to the client about best options in the short and longer term.
