What is bioremediation
Bioremediation allows you to decontaminate soil, seawater and groundwater simply by using microbes to consume the contaminants.
It’s risk-free, environmentally friendly, and extremely cost-effective.
Broadly speaking, there are two methods of bioremediation — introducing lab-grown cultures or using nutrient formula to stimulate the microbes already present.
However, the entire process of understanding and assessing your contaminated site clean-up is more comprehensive. At Novorem, we break this process up into 4 key stages:

Hear from some of our clients
“We have utilised Micronovo (now Novorem) in a variety of roles from detection and quantification of bacteria and functional genes, through to the field delivery of bacterial cultures for remediation purposes. The obvious enthusiasm in what they do translates to excellent turnaround times and a high level of responsiveness. Their location here in Australia also results in advantages in sample integrity and again responsiveness. We have no hesitation in recommending their services which we continue to utilise.”
