Leachate is a liquid waste product of the processes in solid waste landfills with meteoric waters seeping. A number of substances are dissolved by washing with meteoric water and other substances resulting from the processes of fermentation of organic waste components. Leachate treatment is essential to reduce mainly the organic and nitrogen content in the leachate. The initial solution applied to the purge unit-Glina was a biologic reverse osmosis in two steps (osmosis layout). An aeration lagoon has been designed and proposed to be installed as pilot in Glina. The leachate provides the food for the bacteria and the aeration system provides the oxygen. The results are suggesting that this lagoon technology can be economic to install and simple to run.
