Gremista Landfill Leachate Treatment Plant Commissioning is Underway


The Enviros Leachate Team has successfully begun the biological commissioning of the new Gremista Landfill leachate treatment plant in the Shetland Islands, near Lerwick.

The plant is one of the first to be designed for the new breed of UK landfills which incorporate pre-treatment of waste before the residue only goes to landfill.

At this site there is also an incineration plant and the leachate treatment plant will treat the leachate generated by the landfilled incinerator ash as well as the residual waste leachate.

The commissioning is progressing well, at this the latest of Enviros leachate plants to enter the commissioning stage.
