ROCHEM Americas Brings Leachate Treatment Expertise to SWANA RCon 2026
From September 29 through October 2, waste and resource management professionals from across North America will gather in St. Louis for SWANA RCon 2026, one of the industry’s most important opportunities to exchange technical knowledge, explore emerging technologies and address the challenges shaping the future of solid waste management.
The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) is a leading professional association serving the waste and resource management industry. Through technical education, research, training, advocacy and collaboration, SWANA brings together professionals from the public and private sectors working to advance the responsible management of waste and the resources within it.
RCon is SWANA’s flagship event experience, bringing that community together for technical sessions, training, industry discussion, networking and new technologies. Following an inaugural event that welcomed nearly 1,700 waste and resource management professionals, RCon returns in 2026 with a sold-out exhibit hall and a program focused on some of the most consequential issues facing the industry.
For ROCHEM Americas, those conversations are directly connected to what we do every day.
ROCHEM Americas at RCon 2026
As a SWANA partner, ROCHEM Americas is proud to support the organization and the professionals working to advance the solid waste industry.
At RCon 2026, our involvement extends across the event. ROCHEM will be exhibiting at Booth 901, where our team will meet with landfill operators, engineers and industry partners to discuss their most difficult leachate treatment challenges.
ROCHEM has also been invited to speak as part of the RCon technical program, bringing our experience in advanced landfill leachate treatment into the educational conversation taking place at the conference.
It is an opportunity not only to showcase technology, but to contribute decades of knowledge from treating some of the most challenging wastewater in the industry.
Built for the Toughest Leachate
Leachate is not a static wastewater stream.
Its chemistry changes over the life of a landfill and can include high concentrations of dissolved solids, ammonia, organics, metals, PFAS and other emerging contaminants. Treatment becomes even more challenging as discharge requirements evolve, disposal costs increase and landfill operators look for alternatives to hauling leachate off site.
This is where ROCHEM specializes.
For more than 40 years, ROCHEM membrane technology has been used to treat difficult and highly contaminated waters. Our advanced landfill leachate treatment systems use high-recovery reverse osmosis technology engineered for complex feedwaters and demanding operating conditions.
Rather than simply moving leachate from one location to another, onsite treatment gives landfill operators the ability to recover clean water from a difficult waste stream while significantly reducing the volume of residual leachate requiring further management.
From changing chemistry and high TDS to ammonia, PFAS and increasingly stringent treatment requirements, ROCHEM systems are engineered around the realities of challenging landfill leachate.
Advancing the Future of Leachate Treatment
The solid waste industry is changing, and the way we manage water within it must continue to evolve as well.
That makes organizations like SWANA, and events like RCon, increasingly important. Bringing operators, engineers, regulators, researchers and technology providers together creates an opportunity to share what is working, confront emerging challenges and move the industry forward.
ROCHEM Americas is proud to be part of that work as a SWANA partner, RCon exhibitor and technical program speaker.
If you're attending SWANA RCon 2026 in St. Louis, visit ROCHEM Americas at Booth 901 and bring us your toughest leachate challenges.
Because even in the toughest leachate, there is water worth recovering.
