Challenge
Industrial activity contaminates land and water with toxic substances. The cost of contaminated site remediation retards infrastructure development, limits land use and perpetuates human exposure risks. Micronovo Technologies offers advanced‘ keyhole surgery’ approaches to reduce costs and thereby expand the range of sites amenable to clean-up.
Solution
Micronovo Technologies exploits natural biogeochemical processes to accelerate contaminant transformation in the environment.
Services include characterising the types and abundances of naturally occurring microorganisms in contaminated environments.
Products include microorganisms that degrade contaminants and amendments to support their growth and activity. Contaminants targeted include oil hydrocarbons, chlorinated industrial solvents and dioxins.
Target customers / end-users
Land and water remediation contracting and consulting industry, which serve a broad range of private, corporate or government entities with liability for contamination or potential benefits from clean-up.
Progress
• treatment assessments; 3 fullscale site applications
• partnership with Tersus Environmental
• dioxin, PFAS and chloroform degrading cultures at TRL4- 5 pending demonstration projects to achieve commercial readiness.
