Vibrating RO Membrane System Solves Leachate Problem for Colombian Landfill
EMERYVILLE, Calif.- In the lush Southwestern highlands of Colombia sits the picturesque Cauca Valley. The verdant landscape is owed to its ample rainfall, which at nearly forty inches per year rivals that of Seattle. And in the town of Yotoco lies the Colomba El Guabal Landfill, which receives most of its 2,000 tons of solid waste per day from Cali, a city of 2.4 million people about thirty-five miles to the south. Managing a landfill in a bucolic setting with high rainfall is extremely chall...
