RCDT reverse osmosis is in service at real landfill leachate plants in Europe, Turkey and Australia. This page shows the plants, their capacities and project-specific measured values, with their limits.

With a visible before-and-after comparison of leachate and permeate.
Novo Mesto, Slovenia · 120 m³/day
Clear permeate on the left, dark leachate on the right. Both samples come from the plant in Novo Mesto, Slovenia.
The image shows the visible difference in colour and turbidity; on its own it shows no analytical values.
Measured values
A dataset reported by Rotreat (brochure, generic, not assigned to any named site) shows the effect of RCDT treatment on a contaminated feed.
Dataset (feed → permeate), not site-specific
Bar lengths use a logarithmic scale so that feed and permeate fit in one chart.
Source: Rotreat project data. This dataset is not assigned to any named site and is not presented as a result of the projects listed above. Values are project-specific.
Named plants
Unlike the dataset above, these values are assigned to named Rotreat plants.
Source: Rotreat project data. Values are project-specific and were measured at the plants named.
How the plants work
High-load feed from the landfill.
Conditioning, sand and bag filtration protect the membranes.
Open radial disc-tube channel for colloidal, high-COD feed.
Discharge or reuse, according to the effluent analysis and the permit.
Staged high-pressure concentration, roughly 90 to 160 bar. The residue must be disposed of.

Treatment results at another site depend on its water and operating conditions.
Reading the results
These project results apply to their respective plants and feed waters.
From reference to your project
These leachate applications show how the treatment approach has been used in different operating contexts. Your own water analysis determines the suitable design.
Your site
For a new site, the design begins with the water analysis and, where the feed is variable, with a pilot trial.
Or call +49 89 90 17 39 75
You send the feed analysis and the discharge requirement of your permit.
We assess the process chain, including the concentrate path.
Where the feed is variable, a pilot trial on site comes before the design.
