NovoLabs
About
NovoLabs Limited is a New Zealand company that developed the Supercritical UV disinfection system, a patented ultraviolet technology capable of treating liquids with ultraviolet transmittance below one percent in a single pass. Conventional UV systems require UVT above roughly forty percent for effective operation, making many high-turbidity wastewater streams untreatable. The Supercritical UV platform overcomes this limitation through a proprietary light delivery mechanism that maintains high UV intensities throughout low-clarity liquids, disrupting the RNA and DNA of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. The technology originated from research at Massey University under environmental engineering professor Andy Shilton and is led by CEO Matt Sells. Each system includes smart flow diversion upon lamp failure, active temperature management to optimize UV output, a PLC-based operator interface, and modular pull-out slider construction enabling safe lamp replacement and maintenance. Applications include meat processing effluent, waste stabilization pond discharge, and other turbid industrial flows requiring pathogen reduction before reuse or permitted discharge. NovoLabs has received multiple New Zealand Hi-Tech Awards including Most Innovative Deep Tech Solution, Most Innovative Hi-Tech Hardware Product, and Most Innovative Hi-Tech Solution for a More Sustainable Future.
