Landfill Leachate
Landfill-Leachate Monitoring at a Waste Facility in Zaoqiang
1 / 3Project Background
The comprehensive waste treatment facility in Daying Town, Zaoqiang County, handles waste whose piles generate highly polluted leachate as rainwater percolates through — a complex, aggressive stream that demands careful treatment monitoring.
Customer Challenge
Leachate is among the hardest waters to monitor: extremely high pollutant concentrations, complex composition and strong corrosiveness. If treatment monitoring falls short, secondary pollution of soil and groundwater follows — an environmental risk with real consequences.
The TENGINE Solution
TENGINE instruments were deployed at the facility's clean-water and sedimentation tanks: COD, ammonia-nitrogen and pH analyzers track the clean-water tank's treatment effect, while TSS turbidity, BOD and MLSS sludge concentration instruments watch the sedimentation tank — real-time visibility of leachate treatment performance at both key stages.
Implementation
The instruments were installed at the clean-water and sedimentation tanks of the leachate treatment line, built to withstand the aggressive water chemistry.
Project Results
Leachate treatment is now monitored in real time at every key stage: treatment performance is visible as it happens, non-compliant discharge is prevented, and the risks of soil and groundwater contamination are controlled — reliable data for safe, environmentally sound waste processing.
Related Case Studies
The mill had long relied on imported instrument brands: procurement, system deployment and O&M costs were all high, and a mixed-brand fleet brought poor compatibility, fragmented after-sales and inefficient maintenance. It needed a single accountable supplier without giving up measurement performance.
Tofu production is water-intensive, and process water can carry contaminants such as heavy metals and organic pollutants. Without continuous monitoring, quality risks to the product — and health risks to consumers — can go undetected. At the same time, improperly managed wastewater discharge harms the environment and exposes the company to regulatory violations and legal liability.
The mixed industrial influent is complex and swings hard; the AAO process demands close tracking of DO, sludge concentration and quality parameters; and with monitoring points spread across the whole plant, a single instrument type could never fit every location. Data lag or loss directly threatens process stability and effluent compliance.
