RANGE OF SERVICES
BIOMINING TECHNOLOGY
The extraction of valuable metals from mining waste sites and tailing sites requires a sophisticated geobiotechnical approach for maximum metal recovery. Sensatec offers a one-stop range of biomining services starting with the site exploration and feasibility studies down to the implementation of full scale bioleaching.
Services provided:
- Site exploration and laboratory feasibility studies
- Microbial biomining cultures
- Design and setup of bioleaching technology
- Drilling and hydrofracing services
BIOCEMENTATION TECHNOLOGY
Biocementation technology makes use of carbonate-producing microbes that may be applied for soil and slope stabilization, reduction of hydraulic conductivity or improvement of heat conductivity. Simply by injecting specific microbes along with a precipitation nutrient solution.
Services provided:
- Laboratory feasibility studies including hydraulic conductivity and mechanical stress test
- Microbial biocementation cultures
- Design and setup of biocementation technology
- Drilling and injection technology
BIODEGREDATION OF CONTAMINANTS
Most contaminants in soil and groundwater may be eliminated by making use of natural biodegradation processes. Sensatec offers sophisticated concepts and technologies for in-situ treatment of contaminated sites.
Services provided:
- Laboratory biodegradation feasibility studies
- Microbial biodegradation cultures
- Design and implementation of in-situ remediation technology
- Drilling, direct push injections and TSE® technology
- Water treatment technology including API separation, filtration
- Gas injection technology
