About Novorem

Remediation. Reimagined.

Putting microbiology expertise into the hands of remediation practitioners since 2012.

About Novorem

Seawater, groundwater and soil remediation are key to protecting human and environmental health in Australia, and bioremediation has emerged as the most sustainable technology available for this purpose.

Putting microbiology expertise into the hands of remediation practitioners, Novorem is best placed to become your partner in seawater, groundwater and soil bioremediation.

Novorem was established in 2012 to market microbiology expertise to Australia’s remediation industry in support of continued growth in bioremediation applications.

Our primary focus is the provision of diagnostics and cultures for anaerobic chlorinated solvent degradation in groundwater. We routinely detect, quantify and culture organochlorine-respiring bacteria using state-of-the-art molecular microbiology and anaerobic culturing techniques.

Like bacteria, we are always evolving. Keep up to date by following us on LinkedIn.
