SCS Engineers and WEHRLE Umwelt GmbH Announce Teaming Agreement

In the last several years, U.S. landfill owners and operators are increasingly under pressure to meet more strident water quality demands while keeping their rates low. Selecting the most effective method of treatment at a sustainable cost requires advanced landfill engineering expertise, waste management expertise, and excellent knowledge of which proven wastewater treatment technologies will perform best depending on the type and location of the landfill, the leachate composition, and the volume of leachate generated, among other considerations.

“The SCS Engineers and WEHRLE Umwelt teaming agreement brings a world of talent and technologies to our U.S. clients, improving our support to the private and municipal solid waste industries, with the responsibility of generating cleaner wastewater,” said Samuel Cooke, an SCS vice president, and the firm’s national liquids management director.

"As global technology leader for the treatment of complex wastewaters, WEHRLE has built up an excellent reputation in over 40 countries worldwide with more than 250 installations. Detailed customized consultation upfront the projects is important to us - especially since we are dealing with multiple technologies that require explanation and competence. SCS with its technological knowledge and background of US waste industries is for us the perfect match to bring the best long-term economical solutions to demanding customers." said Frank Natau, WEHRLE's Senior Expert for treatment of leachate and waste-derived effluents.
