NSW landfill waste management - case study
Large-scale leachate reduction system for a NSW landfill facility.
A waste management facility in New South Wales, Australia, needed a dependable way to control rising leachate volumes across its landfill operation. Accumulation in storage areas created environmental risk and placed pressure on regulatory compliance. XPEL solved the influx with a complete floating evaporation package designed to stabilize leachate levels and support safe, continuous site management.
XPEL deployed 19 floating evaporator units with a total volume throughput of 2,662 GPM (605 m³/hour). This high-capacity configuration delivered large-scale leachate reduction across the facility, lowered stored volumes, and reduced environmental exposure. The system strengthened long-term compliance and supported safer, more stable site operations.
Advanced water evaporation system for waste management by XPEL.
This landfill facility faced rising leachate volumes driven by rainfall, storage limitations, and continuous waste decomposition. These conditions placed pressure on its containment areas and increased the risk of environmental impact. XPEL’s mechanical evaporation system provided a practical way for the site to lower stored leachate, maintain safer operating conditions, and meet stringent regulatory requirements.
Our floating evaporators processed 2,662 GPM (605 m³/hour) of wastewater across 19 units. This large-scale configuration supported continuous reduction in a complex operating environment and helped the facility improve site stability during varying weather conditions.
Engineered reliability delivered by XPEL.
High-capacity leachate reduction: 19 floating evaporators provided broad coverage across storage areas. This capacity enabled a predictable reduction in volume for a large landfill operation.
Environmental protection: Effective evaporation lowered the risk of contamination and overflow. This stability helped the facility meet environmental requirements and protect surrounding land and waterways.
Scalable, robust operation: The floating design adapted to changing water levels and varied site conditions. This flexibility supported long-term leachate management and reduced operational burden.
