Preventing Black Goo, Pluggage, and Scaling in Landfill Gas and Leachate Infrastructure

Print this Article | Send to Colleague

Landfills across the country are experiencing a trend ─ black goo, pluggage, and scaling in their leachate and gas collection systems. These organic and inorganic deposits are difficult to treat once they've seeped into liquid and GCCS systems, clogging equipment and pipes, impacting the extraction of liquids and landfill gas.
 
Our panelists this month discuss best practices for identifying, treating, and possibly even preventing these chemical deposits before and after they occur within your infrastructure. We'll also include what landfill field operations can do to identify and treat conditions that appear symptomatic of possible future issues.
 
No one has all the answers ─ each site's conditions are unique. Our team of engineers, scientists, and landfill-landfill gas operations experts will provide a comprehensive discussion in May of what we are seeing and piloting in the field.


 
As with all SCS Client Webinars, we're here to answer your questions throughout the forum and afterward. Using case studies and field experience, our panelists take us through the science, environmental conditions, and technical considerations to prevent or treat this emerging challenge before it gets costly. 
 
This educational, non-commercial webinar with a Q&A forum throughout is free and open to all who want to learn more about landfill pluggage concerns and preventative treatments to consider. We recommend this month's discussion for landfill owners/operators, landfill gas technicians, environmental engineers, and environmental agency staff. A Certificate of Attendance is available on request following the live session.
