Kramfors Municipality Pilots On-Site PFAS Treatment for Landfill Leachate

Kramfors Municipality has initiated a cutting-edge pilot project in collaboration with Mellifiq to address one of today’s toughest environmental challenges: treating complex leachate streams with high levels of PFAS, heavy metals, and phosphorus.

As part of the initiative, Mellifiq has deployed its mobile Axopur® electrocoagulation system, installed in a compact mobile unit, to test sustainable on-site treatment under real-world conditions.

This project focuses on:

• Minimizing chemical usage compared to previous trials
• Lowering operational costs
• Optimizing PFAS and heavy metals removal
• Testing under varied seasonal conditions to ensure robustness

The outcome could lay the groundwork for a full-scale, next-generation treatment plant—raising the bar for circular, low-impact landfill management.
