Five industries, one approach

Applications

The same biological approach applied to a different problem in each industry.

Wastewater

NovoFlow

Cuts odour and sludge in septic tanks and blackwater systems, biologically, without chemical dosing.

NovoFlow treats sewage, blackwater and general organic wastewater biologically: the culture accelerates natural decomposition of the organic load, reducing sludge volume and odour, and returning water closer to a state safe for irrigation or return to the water cycle. Suited to septic tanks, off-grid and portable sanitation, and treatment plants.

Off-grid and portable toilets, festival and event sanitation
Rivers, lakes and open-water organic pollution

Odour reduced within hours of treatment. Over a 3-month monitoring period the property reported a 100% reduction in odour, no blockages or overflows, and no pump-outs needed.

Agriculture

NovoClear

Breaks down ammonia in poultry and livestock housing, cutting odour and improving air quality without chemical treatment.

NovoClear targets ammonia build-up in poultry houses, barns and livestock bedding: the leading cause of respiratory stress, poor feed conversion and odour complaints in intensive housing. The culture converts ammonia biologically rather than masking it, and treated bedding composts down as usable fertiliser rather than needing separate disposal. Validated in independent trials on both broiler and layer housing.

Poultry housing (broiler and layer)
Cattle barns and feedlots
Pig pens and farrowing units

Ammonia reduced by 40-57% across three treatments over a 21-day cycle. Mortality fell by 58.4%, culls by 72.5%, and final bird weight rose by 15.9% compared to the untreated cycle.

NovoPrep

Restores soil biology ahead of planting, rebuilding the nutrient and carbon cycle in depleted or compacted ground.

NovoPrep re-establishes the microbial activity that drives nutrient release and carbon cycling in soil, typically applied ahead of planting or over a fallow period to recondition ground that has become depleted through intensive use. Often paired with NovoGrow to carry that biological activity through the growing season.

Agricultural crop production
Land reclamation and soil rehabilitation
Topsoil production

Produced greener, more uniform turf and improved root establishment, and the treated turf kept improving through a 3-week irrigation system failure partway through the trial.

NovoGrow

Supports nitrogen fixation and root development through the growing season, working in the root zone (rhizosphere).

NovoGrow works in the root zone (rhizosphere), supporting plant-growth-promoting bacterial activity that assists nitrogen fixation and root development. Typically applied through the growing season following NovoPrep’s initial soil conditioning, maintaining biological activity rather than a one-off treatment.

Agricultural crops (grains, vegetables, fruit)
Fruit and nut tree orchards
Forestry and reforestation projects

Greener, more uniform turf and improved root establishment; the treated turf kept improving through a 3-week irrigation-system failure partway through the trial.

Food Industry

NovoFlush

Breaks down fats, oils and grease (FOG) in food-service drain lines, clearing blockages and odour without harsh chemicals.

NovoFlush treats fat, oil and grease (FOG) build-up in food-service and food-industry drain lines. Applied directly into drains, it biologically breaks down the grease layer rather than dissolving or masking it.

Commercial kitchen and food-service drain lines
Food-industry processing-floor drains
Abattoirs and meat processing facilities

Odour reduction reported within 5 minutes of application; drains reported clear within 3–4 days (source: South Africa distributor site, micronovo.co.za).

Industrial

NovoSpill

Biodegrades hydrocarbon contamination (C7–C36 range) in soil and water, in place of excavation or chemical treatment.

NovoSpill treats hydrocarbon contamination (fuel and oil spills across the C7–C36 carbon range) directly in soil or water, converting the contamination into organic matter rather than requiring excavation and off-site disposal. Applied both to acute spill response and to legacy-contamination remediation.

Pipeline and flowline leaks
Tank farm and wellhead spills
Surface spills on soil (workshops, refuelling stations, transport yards)

TPH levels dropped 85% within 3 months of the first application, with a further 90% reduction following the second and third treatments.

Aquaculture

Novoclear Aqua

A verified-organic aquaculture additive that manages biological oxygen demand, balances ammonia, nitrates and phosphorus, and controls algae and biofilm to support stock health.

Novoclear Aqua addresses the core water-quality pressures of intensive aquaculture: high biological oxygen demand from fish waste, dissolved oxygen depletion, and the buildup of ammonia, nitrates and phosphorus. It mineralises organic waste to prevent CO2 and nitrate accumulation, controls algae growth and biofilm formation, and supports beneficial plankton, reducing water-borne pathogen pressure (including E. coli) in the process.

Intensive fish farming
Aquaculture ponds
Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS)

The farm remained infection-free until day 70 — well past the point neighbouring farms lost their entire stock — and reached harvest.
