Landfills are experiencing a phenomenon called “black goo,” sticky substances that make their way into leachate and gas collection systems, clogging equipment and impairing the management and extraction of leachate and gas. The viscosity differs between facilities, hardening like concrete or staying pliable. It attaches to pumps and check valves and settles in sumps, causing problems for leachate collection system cleanouts and landfill operations. In this SCS webinar and Q&A forum we cover the EREF Research Results, Engineering and BMP, and Maintenance & Evolving Remedies from the Field.
