Leachate measurement
Landfill leachate arises from surface water penetrating the landfill, as well as the water pressed out of the landfill mass by compression. The pollutants contained in the landfill waste are partially washed out and represent a considerable danger for local ground and surface water. The leachate must therefore be contained by an under-ground seal of the landfill, drained out and collected in wells and fed into a multistage treatment plant. A level measurement is needed in each leachate well to control the drainage pumps and provide information about the condition of the landfill.
Level measurement with VEGAWELL 52
The level in the individual well pipes is measured by the suspension pressure transmitter VEGAWELL 52. With its PE coating it is optimally protected against the corrosive leachate. The measurement protects the pumps from running dry and also keeps the water level from rising too high.
