GROUND LEVEL
Hamworthy Combustion has partnered with Fen-Tech (AIT Evaporation
Systems) to offer a system that drastically reduces operation manhours, simplifies maintenance and streamlines installation.
Unrivalled experience and expertise drives the new design. We
developed the process patent for leachate evaporators in the late
80’s. Fen-Tech has evaporators with more than 15 years of continuous
operation still running at landfills around the world today. The result:
a combination of proven evaporator knowledge and advanced control
systems and skid packages you can’t get anywhere else.
The Process
Leachate is fed to the evaporator vessel with a feed pump. The
pump operates off level control, turning on as needed for continuous,
hands-free operation. Landfill gas is premixed with air needed for
combustion in a submersible burner and combustion tube. The gases
leave the tube around 1600˚F and come in contact with the leachate
At A Glance.
Advantages:
++ No full—time operator required
++ Continuous, hands-free operation with automatic
filling of the leachate and draining of the solids
++ Enhanced design for lower operational costs, less
maintenance and lower power requirements
++ Pre-piped, pre-wired and skid-mounted for easy
installation
Expected Emissions:
++ 98% destruction efficiencies of VOCs from the
landfill gas
++ NOx = 0.06 lb/MMBTU
++ CO = 0.20 lb/MMBTU
inside the vessel. As the leachate boils, the water vapor is directly
discharged into the atmosphere and the solids fall to the bottom of

via operational parameters or a timer. By analyzing your leachate
solids content, an appropriate interval can be programmed so the unit
works continuously without the need for a dedicated operator, while
effectively reducing leachate volume by as much as 98%.
