In the critical field of environmental engineering, accuracy in predicting how contaminants move through the subsurface is not just a goal—it’s a regulatory mandate. GAEA Technologies’ POLLUTE software stands as a premier solution for geoscientists and engineers tasked with landfill design and remediation planning.

What is POLLUTE?

POLLUTE is a high-performance contaminant transport modeling program that implements a unique one-and-a-half-dimensional solution to the advection-dispersion equation. Unlike traditional finite element or finite difference methods, POLLUTE avoids the computational strain of time-marching procedures, offering fast, reliable results without common numerical instability.

Key features include:

Diverse Landfill Designs: Model everything from simple systems on natural clayey aquitards to complex composite liners, multiple barriers, and multiple aquifers.
Advanced Sorption Models: Unlike many standard tools, POLLUTE supports both non-linear Freundlich and Langmuir sorption.
Intuitive Interface: A Windows-based platform and built-in “Program Wizard” allow users to create complex models from scratch or pre-existing templates with ease.

Experience the Workflow

Efficiency in modeling means spending more time on engineering decisions and less on software troubleshooting. Watch the official demonstration below to see how POLLUTE streamlines the landfill design process:
