Tailings Mitigation
We create customized solutions to mitigate tailings during the mining process or as part of an environmentally-friendly mine closure plan, meeting environmental standards.
For the environment
BioNorth Solutions provides an innovative, natural solution for remediation of waste. Contamination is a problem in many areas, the most environmentally conscious way to solve this problem is to utilize the organisms growing naturally in the same environment to remove contaminants. This solution is harmless to humans, animals and the environment. Environmental contamination is of great focus in the world today. Mining creates drainage which can be toxic to the environment, oils drain into parking lots and work areas day after day.

Bioremediation?
A natural, green, cost effective alternative using microorganisms which exist in the surrounding environment.
Bioremediation is the process of using microbes to rid pollutants from a contaminated site. Microbes are added directly to the site eliminating the cost of removal and/or disposal of soils or water.
BioNorth Solutions provides the following services and products:
On-site Spill Remediation Kits
On-site treatment is provided by stimulating the natural bacteria to increase degradation of the hydrocarbons by adding additional nutrients to the soil.
Cyanide remediation of old tailings for re-extraction
Old tailings leftover from previous mining activities often still contain valuable metals. We provide a cost-effective solution to remediate the cyanide in a safe, eco-friendly method.
On-site Large Scale Hydrocarbon Remediation
BioNorth Solutions specializes in the bioremediation of hydrocarbon contamination in soils, sands and gravels.
Wastewater and Sludge Treatment
We sample the wastewater or sludge to identify possible contaminants if not already identified; then isolate microorganisms with the ability to degrade the toxic components. We then stimulate them via their biochemical pathways to degrade the toxic chemicals at accelerated rates.
Bioremediation Plans for Environmental Compliance
We develop strategic plans for the bioremediation of a wide variety of contaminants and we can draw up a plan for you.

hydrocarbon Spill kits
Whether you have spill on site or need to take preventative measures, BioNorth Solutions innovative kits can help you. Purchase on site oil spill kits which can be used by industries and individuals alike to treat small oil spills ranging from 1-5 m3. All kits contain a unique bioactive additive of safe naturally occurring bacteria which can bio degrade a wide variety of hydrocarbons.
The Science of Bioremediation
Hydrocarbon Eating Microbes
Oil contains hydrocarbons, which are made up of varying amounts of carbon and hydrogen
The microbes break apart the hydrocarbons and combine them with oxygen to create water and carbon dioxide.
Microbes are introduced to the contaminated area, which then begin feeding on the hydrocarbons.
Oxygen is needed for the chemical reaction.
