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.

Contaminants we remove
Puragen’s landfill leachate applications effectively remove a wide range of hazardous contaminants, ensuring safe discharge and water quality protection.
- PFAS and persistent chemicals
Removal and destruction of persistent chemicals including PFAS-group compounds and pharmaceutical residues - Dissolved volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Removal of various organic pollutants, including the BTEX group, adsorbable organic halides (AOX) and hydrocarbons from groundwater and soil remediation projects or landfill - Pesticides and herbicides
Removal of organic pesticides found in landfill leachate from agricultural runoff, household waste and industrial disposal of obsolete pesticides, including Atrazine, Chlorpyrifos and DDT
Activated carbon products for Landfill Leachate
Puragen has developed high-performance filtration media and mobile purification systems that remove persistent landfill pollutants reliably, efficiently and sustainably. Puragen provides a comprehensive range of activated carbon solutions for landfill leachate, ensuring efficient contaminant removal and long-term cost savings.
