- New Sediment Washing Process Invented by BioGenesis
- Remediation of Harbour Sediment 80% < 38 Microns
- 5,000 ppm TPH (92% reduction); 4,000 ppm PAH (90% reduction); 90,000 ppm oil and grease (96% reduction)
In mid-1992, Wastewater Technology Centre (WTC) requested proposals for bench scale studies of Thunder Bay Harbour, Ontario, sediment. The purpose of the program was to assess contaminated sediment treatment technologies which may be used in future years as part of the overall effort to cleanup 43 "Areas of Concern" identified by the International Joint Commission, a joint Canada-U.S. body tasked to administer the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.
BioGenesis developed technology to effectively remediate Thunder Bay Harbour sediment.

For the first time ever, PAH and hydrocarbon contamination has been effectively extracted from sediments in a continuous process. BioGenesis advanced the state-of-the-art for sediment remediation.
Our process effectively makes obsolescent, if not completely obsolete, the previous concept of washing technology as a pretreatment technique which leaves large residue needing further treatment.
Design revisions incorporated into the second generation equipment have raised extraction efficiencies to the + 97-99% range.
BioGenesis established itself as THE leader in exceptionally difficult remediation projects. Our innovative, patent pending, equipment in conjunction with our bioremediating, custom blended surfactants accomplish previously impossible remediation tasks. This remediation technology is commercially available at a fraction of the cost of lesser effective, conventional remediation technologies.
