# Organic Adsorption Media for Landfill Leachate Treatment Applications

Landfill leachate can contain complex mixtures of hydrophobic organics that stress conventional treatment trains. Camp-Shinning provides **granular organic adsorption media** designed for leachate applications where oils, NAPL, and low-solubility organics require strong adsorption performance.

## Why Leachate Often Needs Organic Adsorption
– Mixed organic loading can change over time
– Hydrophobic organics are difficult to oxidize or strip completely
– Polishing steps can foul when large organics accumulate
– Treatment targets may tighten due to discharge requirements

## How Organic Adsorption Media Supports Leachate Systems
The media is typically used as:
– A conditioning stage before activated carbon polishing
– A stand-alone adsorption bed for oily or hydrophobic fractions
– A support step to improve reliability when organics vary

## Benefits for Operators and EPC Teams
– High capacity for oils and NAPL helps stabilize performance
– Targets hydrophobic dissolved organics such as PAHs and PCBs
– Reduces organic fouling potential in downstream carbon vessels
– Granular form supports predictable headloss and easy changeout

## Practical Design Notes
For leachate projects, plan for:
1. Flow equalization and expected peak loads
2. Target organics and monitoring parameters
3. Bed contact time and vessel configuration
4. Changeout strategy based on loading and compliance needs

## Packaging and Supply
Camp-Shinning offers 25 kg bags and project-ready packaging options. Palletization and shipping plans can be arranged for continuous site supply.

## FAQ

### Can adsorption media reduce leachate odor and organics?
It can reduce hydrophobic organic content that contributes to persistent odor and organic loading, improving downstream stability.

### Is it effective for PAHs and PCBs in leachate?
Yes. The media is designed for hydrophobic organics, including PAHs and PCBs, where solubility is low.

### Does it replace activated carbon?
It can reduce loading to carbon and improve carbon life, but final configuration depends on discharge goals.

### What data is needed for sizing?
Flow rate, organic loading, and treatment targets are the most useful inputs for recommended bed volume.
