Last Chance to Book for Leachate Monitoring Course

The next Chartered Institution of Waste Management (UK) Leachate Monitoring course is on 25 Jun 2008, so if you act today there is just about time to register.

This is a One day (non-residential) course held in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, UK.

If you are you involved in the monitoring or the control of leachate from landfills this will be useful to you.

Do you really understand what leachate is and how to effectively monitor it?

This course will provide an understanding of what leachate is, its composition, and appropriate monitoring requirements you should implement.

The course includes practical demonstrations of using a range of leachate sampling and testing equipment.

The course will also provide an introduction to the treatment of leachate.

What’s in it for me?

By the end of the course you will be able to:

• Explain the basic principles of leachate generation
• Identify key contaminants and their risks
• Explain the requirements of monitoring programmes and their objectives
• Identify the range of monitoring equipment used during leachate monitoring and understand how they are used
• Know what current technical guidance documents are available
• Know how to interpret the data generated in order to identify problems and ensure appropriate actions can be determined and taken
• Explain some typical leachate treatment systems and be aware of the monitoring requirements of them.

Who is it for?

Technical staff working in landfill site operations, or design and regulation, with day to day responsibility for the monitoring of leachate generated by landfills or the monitoring of leachate treatment facilities.

Your Leachate News Blogmaster Steve Last will be tutor for the sessions on, "What is Leachate?" and "Leachate Treatment".
