Kincardine's new leachate treatment plant up and running

The $1.7-million facility was officially opened in the fall, as municipal councillors and staff, along with members of the media, took a tour of the plant, courtesy of Shamus Anderson, water and wastewater supervisor.

Drawing leachate from the landfill site, the plant uses a biological process to treat up to 55,000 litres per day. The process basically converts the contaminants into solids which are settled out of the liquid. That liquid is then discharged into a stormwater pond where it is further filtered naturally and then, eventually, works its way into the North Penetangore River and to the lake. The sludge and solids are dumped into the landfill site.
 

Anderson said this state-of-the-art treatment facility is the only one of its kind in Bruce County. It replaces the trucking of leachate from the landfill site to the sewer lagoons in the Town of Kincardine, which had become a costly process.

“This is far more effective and efficient,” said Anderson.

The process mixes methanol, phosphoric acid and aluminum sulphate with the leachate to settle the solids and clear off the liquid. It's not a pleasant facility to stand around in as the odour can be quite pungent. However, once you move from
the mixing chambers to the clarifying tank and into the office, the air is clearer.
