Mine Site Water
Saving you water, time and ongoing operational costs.
Our founder helped pioneer research and development in this critical sector. Bringing about the first uses of our bio remediation products in mining applications in the gold mining industry in 2016.
Mine Sites.
Increasing profitability through efficient tailing and pregnant solution processing.
Our wastewater process neutralizes contamination at its source or in evaporation and holding ponds. Treated water can be reused in operations, reducing costs and saving water resources.
History
According to research in the field, an estimated 17 to 27 billion gallons of polluted mine discharge water will be generated by 40 existing hard rock mines (e.g. gold, copper, uranium mines) in the US each year, every year, in perpetuity. Treatment for these mines has an estimated cost of an estimated $67 billion per year.
Large amounts of drainage, mine cooling, aqueous extraction and other mining processes increases potential for chemicals to contaminate ground and surface water. We can help with both on and off-site storage and process solutions.
The mining industry faces dynamic challenges for water recycling, including:
Cyanide
Arsenic
Sulfuric acid
Mercury
Phosphorus
Heavy metals
Sulfides
Sulphates
VOC’s
Oxidation
Sodium chloride
Ammonia
Nitrogen
Go Sustainable, Go Natural
We have available, a multi-step, continuous flow process for neutralizing and isolating these contaminants – enabling mine operators to recycle their mine water to discharge standards. We utilize all natural fungi and bacteria, suspended in a liquid medium, to rapidly promote heavy metal chelation, the destruction of complex chemical bonds and other processes that leave your components inert, or nearly eliminated.
Product Benefits

Mine Site Soil
Use SoilMix on your mine sites, especially in areas where there’s heavy contamination. Our SoilMix will use chelation and other processes to drive heavy metals deep into the Earth and destroy chemicals, leaving no residues.

Mine Site Evap Ponds
Use our WaterMix product in Evap ponds and speed up the remediation process, while eliminating and settling heavy metal materials, chemicals and toxins. Ask about our recapture process, where we can also capture your valuable materials, prior to our treatment process.

Used in the US and South America
Our products have been tested and used by multiple large mining operations. Though we won’t share their information, we can share that we are able to successfully treat their tailings and pregnant solution, providing for a cleaner process and a more efficient use of their budgets.

Rapid Testing
We’re happy to test your soil or water samples, if needed. Our lab partners are fast and easy to work with. We’ll have your results in days to weeks, depending on what we’re testing for.
Some Example Reductions
Cyanide
Reductions from 21 to less than .035 or .022, depending on product type, after just one treatment.
WaterMix and WaterMix nZVI were used in this example.
Arsenic
Arsenic levels tested from .200 to .035 in one treatment.
From .200 to .070 with a WaterMix nZVI product and dosing.
Iron
From .79 to: .64 WaterMix nZVI .21 WaterMix
Mercury
.012 to less than .00010 with both our core WaterMix product and the WaterMix nZVI.
Heavy Metals, Toxins and Waste, in Water
Our product is simple and has broad implications in mining processes and recovery procedures.
We look forward to testing your water and soil, and customizing an application process for you.
What is the cost? How much do we need to use?
Our product is sold in 1, 5 and 55 gallon increments, typically. Get all costs here. You need very little for a lot of water – for most applications about 1 oz of concentrate per 300-1,200 gallons of processed water, if in a pond or holding tank. In-process rates vary based on gpm.
Custom quotes available.
Going green, becoming sustainable
Moving Forward
Though our products aren’t new, the application in mining is still a new-ish innovation. We can customize a process for you and your operation or help your team understand our product, enabling them to build and revise your process as you go.
Our products are simple, we’re speeding up natural processes by supplementing the active biology that occurs over long periods of time. You’ll find them easy to test, use and adjust and you can’t really overdo it.
