What is bioremediation
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: introducing lab-grown cultures, or using nutrient formula to stimulate the microbes already present.
The full process of understanding and assessing a contaminated site clean-up is more comprehensive than that. At Novorem, we break it into four key stages – each backed by our own laboratory services.
- 01
Understanding
MicroDiagnostics
Quantify the relevant microbes and build a complete description of the microbial community at your site.
- 02
Proof of efficacy
Bench Tests
Test how your samples respond to nutrients and inoculation in the lab before investing in on-site injections.
- 03
Remediation
Cultures & Nutrient Formula
Introduce lab-grown Australian cultures, or stimulate the microbes already present with tailored nutrients.
- 04
Monitoring
Stable Isotope Analysis
Gather unambiguous evidence that biodegradation is occurring and identify the microbes responsible.

Hear from our clients
Enthusiasm that translates to responsiveness
“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.”
