What We Do

PFAS-Contaminated Landfill Leachate Treatment

Collection, Concentration, Treatment,
and Disposal of PFAS-Contaminated Leachates

Over the years, landfills have accepted a wide range of waste streams containing PFAS and other contaminates of concern. Because these “forever chemicals” don’t naturally break down, they persist in the environment—leading to steadily increasing contamination levels within landfill sites. This has led to elevated levels of PFAS in landfill leachate, which require effective treatment solutions to separate and destroy the contaminants—whether through pre-treatment, on-site systems, or centralized processing, depending on the specific waste stream and regulatory requirements.

Crystal Clean’s 4never™ solution brings you the equipment, team, and expertise to effectively remove and treat PFAS from landfill leachate. As part of the 4never™ process, our team consults with you to understand what your priorities are to determine a plan that meets your unique needs. That’s why we provide turnkey solutions that cover every stage of the process, including assessment, treatment, and disposal services, with rapid turnaround times to keep your business running.

Case Study: Destroying PFAS in Landfill Leachate

CLosed-Loop Collection, Transportation, Concentration, and Destruction

A landfill with high levels of PFAS detected in it’s landfill leachate needed a partner to collect and treat the contaminated leachate in compliance with state regulations.

The Crystal Clean team delivered the flexible 4never™ solution to provide turnkey services to collect, transport, concentrate, and destroy the PFAS in the contaminated leachate. This project used Surface Active Foam Fractionation (SAFF®) and Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) to separate, concentrate, and destroy the PFAS.
