NovoLabs™ is transforming the way the world approaches water disinfection with next-generation UV technology developed from research at Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa Massey University.
The startup’s groundbreaking Supercritical UV™ technology offers chemical-free, energy- efficient disinfection that makes cleaner waterways more affordable and sustainable. Its world-first design uses ultra-thin, high-speed “supercritical” liquid flow to allow powerful UV light to penetrate even low-clarity water, overcoming limitations of traditional UV systems.
NovoLabs’ systems are already operating at scale in commercial settings and are applicable across a wide range of wastewater and industrial liquids. With recent investment and growing international traction, the company is positioned to make an impact on the global stage.
