Leachate is an unavoidable by-product of landfill operation. As rainfall percolates through waste, it picks up harmful contaminants, creating a polluted liquid that must be carefully managed to protect the environment.
For Irish operators, leachate sits at the centre of your EPA licence, environmental obligations, and site operability. Failure risks contaminated groundwater, damaged watercourses, and a licence under threat.
Campion Pumps has over 15 years’ experience delivering leachate management solutions across Ireland. Our Campion Connect platform provides real-time remote monitoring, compliance reporting, and alarm management.
Leachate forms naturally as precipitation moves through deposited waste, dissolving harmful contaminants including ammonia and heavy metals. In Ireland, each operator’s EPA licence specifies what must be monitored, what levels must be maintained, and what must be reported. These are enforceable conditions. Failure to meet them can place the future of the site in jeopardy.
No two landfill sites are the same. Campion Pumps takes a risk-based, site-specific approach, developing a detailed understanding of your site before designing a system built around its precise requirements.
Campion Pumps delivers integrated engineering solutions across the full leachate management system, from primary leachate pumping to collection infrastructure, advanced monitoring, and specialist instrumentation.
Primary Pumping Systems: Pneumatic pumps for collection, and AteX-rated electrical pumps certified for explosive atmospheres. With VSD technology, operators save 25 to 35% on energy.
Collection Infrastructure: Eelectro-fusion HDPE pipework, custom valve arrangements, stainless steel manifolds, and connections to storage or tankering.
Advanced Monitoring & Controls: Campion Connect cloud SCADA gives real-time visibility of flow, levels, conductivity, and pump status. Automated alerts and compliance reports.
Harsh Environment Capability: Specialist instruments suited to leachate’s variable acidity and conductivity, backed by maintenance contracts.
Landfill sites will always present leachate management challenges. Rainfall, ageing infrastructure, and the nature of deposited waste mean that issues will arise. What matters is having the right systems, the right monitoring, and the right partner in place to manage and minimise them before they become compliance problems.
Campion Pumps’ leachate management and leachate treatment solutions are built around that objective: keeping your site operating safely, sustainably, and within the conditions of your EPA licence. Our approach is proactive, focused on putting the right systems in place and maintaining them effectively so that compliance is not something you have to chase, but something your site delivers as a matter of course.
We provide ongoing maintenance: annual preventative contracts, reactive call-out, and instrument calibration. Many sites retain Campion Pumps as their ongoing contractor following installation. We do not deliver a system and move on.
Campion Pumps brings specialist expertise, proven technology, and a genuine commitment to long-term partnership to every landfill leachate project we undertake.
For Irish landfill operators managing the pressures of EPA compliance, ageing infrastructure, and remote site management, we offer a reliable, experienced, and fully capable partner.
