What are PAHs?

PAHs are a group of organic compounds formed during the incomplete combustion of materials such as coal, oil, gas, wood, and waste. They are commonly found in industrial and urban environments.

Sources & occurrence

PAHs are typically present at former industrial sites, along roadways, and in areas exposed to combustion processes. They are also found in tar, asphalt, and creosote-treated materials.

Environmental & health impact

PAHs bind strongly to soil and sediments, making them difficult to remove. Many are toxic, and some are known carcinogens. Their persistence can limit land use and pose risks to ecosystems and human health.

MycoMine turns your pollutants into biomass

How our treatment process works

Analyzing pollutants and site conditions

We begin by building a clear understanding of your site and waste streams. This includes identifying which pollutants are present, where they are located, and how they behave under site-specific conditions.

Stage
1

Testing samples against our fungal library

Samples from the site are collected and tested against our fungal library in controlled environments. This allows us to evaluate how effectively different strains degrade the specific pollutants present.

2

Designing treatment system based on site needs

Based on testing results, we design a modular treatment system adapted to your site and waste streams. We select the appropriate fungal cultures and define the operating conditions required for effective degradation.

Installing containerized modular treatment units

The modular system is installed directly on-site or at a nearby treatment location. Designed for rapid deployment, it can be integrated with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

4

Fungal systems breaking down pollutants over time

Once operational, contaminated material is processed through the system where fungal strains break down pollutants over time. Through enzymatic processes, complex compounds are degraded into simpler, non-toxic substances.

Pollutants fully converted into compostable biomass

After treatment, results are verified through laboratory analysis to confirm pollutant reduction and system performance. We provide clear, transparent reporting aligned with regulatory requirements, giving full visibility into outcomes.
