LEACHATE MANAGEMENT

Chair: Katarina Kylefors

Aim

This session aims at discussing the leachate management of today. It is intended to focus on the sustainability of leachate management. In connection to this leachate quality will be discussed and will be linked to treatment requirements. Different alternatives for  treatment will be discussed. Some questions intended to discuss are:

- Is the leachate management of today sustainable?
- What tools can we use to decide about sustainability?
- Do we need leachate treatment?
- What components of the leachate do we need to treat?
- What kinds of leachate do we need to treat?
- For how long time will treatment be required?
- What kinds of treatment are best?
- Will there be a need for different treatments at different times?
