Landfill Leachate

Landfill leachate can contain a complex mixture of hazardous pollutants that pose serious risks to both the environment and public health. 

To support compliance with environmental regulations—including the EU Landfill Directive, the Water Framework Directive and the Industrial Emissions Directive—Puragen has developed high-performance activated carbons and mobile treatment systems. Puragen’s solutions effectively remove harmful contaminants from leachate, helping prevent groundwater contamination and ensuring adherence to environmental regulations.
