Description

Leachate management and treatment is one of the most important tasks of operating a landfill. But it’s not always the easiest of jobs. In this informative session, you’ll receive updates on recently funded Environmental Research & Education Foundation grant research on the generation and origins of leachate management system fouling materials, often referred to as “flubber” or “black goo.” You’ll also learn about prevention and remedial techniques and tools to address both of these fouling materials.
