About AquaNova Group

Pioneering Wastewater Treatment Since 2015

AquaNova Group was founded with one clear purpose: to give municipalities and industrial operators the tools to treat wastewater faster, cleaner, and more cost-effectively than ever before.

Our Mission

We believe clean water is a right, not a privilege. Our mission is to make world-class wastewater treatment accessible to every municipality in South Africa and beyond — regardless of existing infrastructure or budget constraints.

Through the T3 Hydrox oxidation system and Hydrobiotics biological platform, we address the three most urgent challenges in municipal wastewater: odour and H₂S toxicity, sludge volume, and regulatory compliance with emerging contaminant standards.

Every product we deploy is backed by independent scientific certification, real-world pilot data, and a commitment to outcomes — not just deliverables.

Our Values

Science-Led Innovation

Every product is rigorously tested through independent labs including the CSIR. We do not launch until the data supports the claim.

Environmental Stewardship

Our products reduce chemical loads, lower carbon footprints, and are non-toxic to ecosystems. T3 Hydrox even enables carbon credit generation.

Municipal Partnership

We work alongside municipalities as long-term partners — not one-time vendors. Our success is measured by your compliance results.

Speed to Result

Municipalities cannot wait months. Our solutions deliver measurable improvement within 1–7 days of deployment.

Our Journey

2015

Founded in South Africa

AquaNova Group was established with a mission to revolutionise wastewater treatment through advanced chemical and biological innovation.

2016

T3 Hydrox Launched

Our breakthrough oxidiser T3 Hydrox entered the market — 3.5× faster than hydrogen peroxide and 3× stronger than chlorine, with no infrastructure changes required.

2018

CSIR Toxicity Trials

T3 Hydrox received Class I Non-Hazardous classification from the CSIR after rigorous independent toxicity testing, confirming its safety for environmental discharge.

2019

Hydrobiotics Introduced

Building on natural microbe research pioneered during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill cleanup, we launched Hydrobiotics — delivering 30%+ sludge reduction without GMOs.

2022

Abu Dhabi Pilot Success

A landmark trial in Abu Dhabi's sewer network reduced H₂S from 2,000 ppm to non-detectable, and cut sludge volumes by 25–30% within 6 weeks.

2024+

International Expansion

With proven results across South Africa and the Middle East, AquaNova is expanding to serve municipalities globally.
