February 1998.  Approximately 50 million gallons of landfill leachate has been cleaned at the Brea Olinda Landfill in Orange County, California.  sgblue, inc., an environmental biotechnology company in New Jersey, designed this 30 GPM capacity, 6-cartridge, bio-treatment system to treat volatile organics, including benzene, dichloroethane, methylene chloride, and trichloroethene at the Brea Olinda Landfill.  When field-tested against competing technologies, the CAP™ Clean Water Plant was found to be the most efficient, cost-effective treatment for landfill leachate.  To date, the CWP Model CWP500 has cleaned more than 50 million gallons of leachate at the site without going off spec.

Using an innovative biological process, the CWP500 cleans contaminants in water, wastewater, groundwater, and leachate for industrial, municipal, commercial, and even residential applications.  CWP500's special design forces pollutants to travel several hundred feet through its spirally-wound cartridge, thus polishing particularly dangerous contaminants, such as benzene, to less than one ppb (parts per billion).   CWP500 removes heavy metals and destroys organics, including fuels, solvents, and pesticides, as well as, particulates and toxic gases.  For heavy volume, CWP500 can also collect and treat off-gases for reuse or sale.

The CWP500 has a 10 GPM flow rate and can destroy 50 pounds of contaminants per day.  Multiple units can be grouped for specific needs.  CWP500 measures 36 inches diameter by 42 inches height and weighs 80 pounds.  sgblue, inc. can provide pricing information upon request.
