Innovative Wastewater Treatment for Sustainable Landfill Management

Problem

Logisticon Water Treatment is involved in a new sustainability project at a former landfill site in the south of the Netherlands, which is no longer in use. To support this initiative, it was necessary to modernize the existing wastewater treatment plant using the latest technologies.

Solution

Logisticon Water Treatment provides a sustainable solution in which the CWZI and PWZI function as DEMON reactors, while the nitrification reactor operates as a SHARON reactor. Sweco was responsible for the process design, and Logisticon handled the technical design. Together, the installation removes 600 kg of nitrogen daily, using the captured gas as fuel for a combined heat and power unit (CHP).
The goal of this ten-year pilot project is to demonstrate that, in the future, a cover layer may no longer be necessary for closed landfills, contributing to more sustainable landfill management.
