Are any other subscribers going to South Africa for Wastecon 2006?
Leachate Treatment Technical: There are two WasteCon 2006 conferences, one in the US, and one in South Africa. Two of our Leachate Team will be attending the South African international waste management conference next week.
Enviros Leachate and biological waste processing experts, Howard Robinson and Jonty Olufsen will be attending and presenting. Leachate treatment will be the subject of a paper which they will present:
"Full Biological Treatment of Landfill Leachate: A detailed case study of Efford Landfill in the New Forest, Hampshire, UK"
We would be very pleased to meet you if you are attending. Here is more about the conference:-
Wastecon 2006, Biennial Conference & Exhibition, 5 - 8 September 2006, Somerset West, Cape Town, South Africa. Organised by the Institution of Waste Management of Southern Africa (IWMSA)
More information is available on the Wastecon 2006 web site.
Although not yet spring in Cape Town the climate will normally be very pleasant and there are great places to visit in the locality - not least Cape Town itself.

Moderating the Leachate Forum: now 3 years old!
Envirosian Reports on the Leachate Forum:
The Leachate Forum has been running for three years now, and contains posts about a wide variety of leachate related subjects.
Some of the early topics were about "Iron in Leachate" and a "LIFE" (EU financed research) project.
A recent Topic has been on the subject of Incineration Leachate, which is a sign of the increasing activity in that area of waste management.
The most frequent users have been students, which is only to be expected, as the young have naturally adopted the idea of the Forum more rapidly than us oldies.
The posters have been well behaved and spamming has been non-existent.
I can remember only one post which it was necessary to delete, due to defamatory remarks about a member's competitor.
Unsurprisingly, the most viewed post has been on the subject of - wait for it! - leachate!
I look forward to the next 3 years wondering what posts we will see.
For any of you who have not yet looked at the Leachate Web Site Forum
Leachate Web Site Forum , why not take a few moments to visit. While you are there, register, (it only takes a few moments) and post your burning leachate related topic for discussion.

Welcome Existing Leachate Subscribers!
The Leachate Newsletter is back, and is now part of the Blogging Revolution...
Well personaly I am not so sure about blog posting exactly amounting to a revolution, but to use the Google Blogging system is free and very easy to use.
It is also accessible worldwide for us to add Post to the Blog and create Newsletter emails while abroad, and this matters incresingly as the world demand for our leachate plants continues to increase.
We are now designing our third plant in South Africa and our second in Malaysia. Additional overseas plants (and UK plants of course) are likely to be announced through this Newsletter this autumn.
In the UK we are anticipating moves this Autumn from the Environment Agency to issue final leachate BAT Guidelines, and for plants not yet covered under the site's PPC to be permitted under PPC.
We hope that you will enjoy this service and contact us via the www.leachate.co.uk web site, or via www.enviros.com in the event that we can work for you, as your leachate consultant.

Vissershok Leachate Treatment Success Continues into 4th Year
The operation of the Visserhok Leachate Treatment Plant (a first for South Africa) has now entered its fourth successful year.
Vissershok Landfill near Cape Town receives some 2000 tonnes of the City’s municipal solid wastes and low to medium hazardous wastes every day. The decomposing wastes produce up to 80 cubic metres of highly polluted leachate per day, which since July has been treated to high standards by a state-of-the-art, on-site leachate treatment plant.
Enviros was appointed to work with local consultants Arcus Gibb, to design, construct and commission the full-scale plant. Contractors for the civil, mechanical and electrical engineering works were appointed in August 2002, and biological commissioning to take place during July 2003.
The treatment scheme adopted includes pumping of leachate from the various tipping cells, into a large lined storage lagoon, which provides buffering of flows and quality for treatment by the plant. The main aerobic biological treatment process takes place in a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR), which comprises a 6m deep, 16m diameter buried concrete tank, that is aerated and mixed, and automatically settled each day to provide a clarified effluent.
This effluent is then passed through a subsurface flow reed bed, containing Phragmites australis plants, which provide final polishing of water to a quality suitable for use in dust suppression on the roads – replacing potable water previously used for this purpose.
The whole treatment process is controlled automatically by a PLC system, including all operations of the plant, and maintenance of optimum pH-values for treatment. The part-time plant operator is able to programme the PLC, and interrogate all operations of the plant, using a Software Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, on a desktop computer.

Leachate Treatment Consultants Awarded CIWM Medal
We could not resist this one! Please excuse the blatant self publicity, and the fact that it has taken over a month to get hold of the picture file - which makes this rather old News...
During the CIWM Dinner in June, Steve Last, Howard Robinson, and Jonty Olufsen were awarded the James Jackson Medal for 2005.
Left to right: Steve Last, Howard Robinson, CIWM President Keith Simmonite, and Jonty Olufsen.
The James Jackson Medal for 2005 was awarded to the best paper presented to a meeting of the Institution, for our combined paper, Design and Operation of Cost Effective Leachate Treatment Systems at UK Landfills: Recent Case Studies, as included in CIWM's Scientific and Technical Review.
If anyone wants a copy of the paper emailed to them email us at info@landfill-site.com . Also visit our leachate web site http://www.leachate.co.uk/ .

Leachate Basics: What is it?
Let us start with a definition:-
leach'ate (noun) a liquid that has percolated through or out of some substance; a liquid that has been polluted or made toxic by percolating through rubbish; a solution obtained by leaching.
The United States EPA provides a more specific definition:
"Leachate is any liquid including any suspended components in the liquid, that has percolated through or drained from hazardous waste."
In this blog we will concentrate on leachate derived from rubbish, and in general from municipal (domestic and commercial) solid wastes (also often called sanitary wastes).

Back from the Ashes!
Here it is the Leachate Blog, originally created by Steve last for the Leachate Team of Enviros Consulting back in 2003, but since forgotten!
Well, it is now resurrected, and this time blogging has come of age, and this partiicular blog is unlikely to be forgotten again.
Until the next Blog, and if you have not seen it before, go take a look at our leachate web sites:
http://www.leachate.co.uk - The original leachate web site constantly enlarged and updated since circa 1997.
http://www.leachate-treatment.com - A promotional only web site for new clients.
www.leachate-irrigation.com - A collaborative web site for leachate irrigation research etc.
More posts soon!
