Ovive, your reference partner for leachate treatment

With more than 150 references in France and around the world, over the past 25 years we have become experts in the treatment of specific industrial effluents, particularly leachates. Our business stands out for its management of the following issues:

  • Continuous changes in the quantity and quality of leachates, depending on the life of the site (type of waste buried, use of open surfaces, operating or post-operating phase, etc.).
  • Leachate, the product of leaching, often contains an unbalanced effluent with high levels of nitrogen pollution,
  • a wide variety of pollutants: Arsenic, phenols, metals…

The operation of a landfill includes the treatment of wastewater or leachate. Leachates are the effluents produced by the combined action of rainwater percolating through the waste mass and becoming loaded with pollution, and the natural fermentation of the waste in the mass. If left untreated, this wastewater can infiltrate the soil and contaminate groundwater, making drinking water unfit for consumption and damaging the environment.

Leachate treatment eliminates pollutants and protects natural resources. Wastewater can contain substances that are hazardous to human health, such as heavy metals and volatile organic compounds. Reducing these pollutants helps improve the quality of life of local residents. Strict regulations govern the treatment of leachates. The composition of leachates is highly specific and often requires dedicated treatment.

Regulatory changes are increasingly requiring storage facilities to treat effluent on site, with ever higher treatment targets (micropollutants, nitrogen, etc.). The solutions offered by Ovive enable these standards and obligations to be met. Leachate treatment is an essential element in the sustainable operation of a landfill. It helps extend the facility’s lifespan and minimize its environmental impact. The intrinsic composition of the waste and the amount of rainfall generate leachates not only during the operating period, but also for many years after the landfill has been completed.

Leachate treatment generally requires a combination of technologies specific to each site.
Among them, Ovive offers :

  • Biological treatment and BRM: in situ removal of dissolved pollutants, particularly ammonia and organic matter
  • Finishing treatment: activated carbon, nanofiltration or reverse osmosis, depending on discharge targets
  • Membrane filtration: direct reverse osmosis in containers – for treatment campaigns or emergencies
  • Finishing treatment: Specific adsorbents for certain pollutants: Arsenic, phenols, AOX, Manganese…

Our treatment systems include a range of technologies adapted to each leachate composition. These include reverse osmosis membranes and techniques for removing organic and inorganic pollutants. Treatment systems are designed to ensure effective pollutant reduction and sustainable elimination of hazardous substances.

Ovive offers tailor-made solutions for leachate management. Our systems include modular treatment plants and secure discharge systems to ensure compliance with environmental standards. We offer solutions for reducing operating costs by optimizing treatment systems and recovering by-products such as biogas.

Leachate treatment enables better capture and recovery of the biogas produced by the waste mass. This energy recovery activity helps to reduce treatment costs and promote more sustainable landfill management. The technologies used by Ovive also help to cut costs through more efficient treatment systems and reduced energy requirements.
