Leachate treatment tests were carried out at the pilot plant in Kristianstad, Sweden. After pretreatment the water was divided into different treatment procedures as chemical oxidation byFenton's reagent, ozone degradation, bioremediation by the Natrix TM process, geobed filters.Samples was analysed according to inorganics and summary parameters, toxicity and organicpollutants. Ozone oxidation gave the best result concerning reduction of organic compoundsbut the best efficient treatment was give by the geobed filters. The paper is also describing thepilot-plant in Siauliai, Lithuania. The advantages with these types of leachate treatmentmethods are low energy consumption, low consumption of expensive chemicals, limited needof maintenance, and they are still capable offering a sustainable treatment alternative.
