Darwin, NT opens Australian-first wastewater treatment process focused on PFAS removal from leachate

Darwin, NT PFAS Removal Leachate Wastewater Treatment

Complete

A Low-Energy Evaporative Fractionation (LEEF) system was added to the Shoal Bay Waste Management Facility. LEEF removes poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from landfill leachate without additional chemicals, thus preventing harmful runoff. This process can eliminate up to 99% of PFAS from leachate. The facility also features a wetland evaporation system for the removal of ammonia and other contaminants. Local officials estimate a processing capacity of 50 megaliters per year for the new system.
