The application of membrane bioreactor technology for the treatment of landfill leachate is not new. This form of leachate treatment has been operating successfully within Germany and other European countries for nearly 15 years. From an environmental viewpoint, the application of MBR is perceived to be a superior process when compared to the alternative treatment techniques currently operating in the UK. This therefore begs the question, “Why have landfill operators in the UK not applied MBR technology for leachate treatment?”
