- Identification, measurement and characterisation of toxic and non-toxic cyanide species in effluent and receiving waters.
- Monitoring: design, planning, execution of monitoring programs.
- Collation, reduction, analyses and interpretation of monitoring data.
- Advice on implementing toxicity bioassays of liquid effluents and in-plant effluent streams.

- Total cyanide (TCN).
- Metallocyanide complexes, e.g. Cu(CN)2.
- Thiocyanate (SCN).
Metals:
- Dissolved metals in hydrometallurgical cyanide solutions and effluents used to predict the most likely metal-cyanide complexes present in discharges.
- Total metals for assessing metal-cyanide precipitates.

EnviroGulf Consulting undertakes water, sediment and aquatic biological monitoring of waters receiving gold mining waste and wastewaters containing residual cyanides Hydrometallurgical process circuits under normal and upset conditions may also be monitored.
This service includes the following:
- Planning, commissioning and execution of monitoring programs designed to measure the significant effects of cyanide-containing wastewater discharges on receiving water ecosystems.
- Critical appraisal of clients existing monitoring databases with data reduction, analysis and interpretation.
- Biological sampling and monitoring of fish, algae and macroinvertebrate populations in receiving waters containing cyanide wastewaters.
- Tailing dam cyanide degradation.
