About us
Advanced Biofermentation Solutions is a consulting company specialising in the optimisation and intensification of wastewater treatment. We specialise in maximising the potential of existing wastewater treatment systems using microbiology, data insights and customised solutions. Our focus is on helping municipal and industrial plants reduce costs, enhance efficiency and achieve compliance.
From innovation to impact
We’re on a mission to help clients rethink wastewater treatment by unlocking the potential of existing systems and driving smarter, more sustainable solutions.
ABS began as a research initiative within Advanced Innovators Inc., founded in 1993. Between 2000 and 2010, we developed and field-tested the core Biofermentation® technology, first within the pulp and paper industry. Following a major breakthrough, we expanded into the municipal sector. Since 2010, ABS has been a separate company with exclusive rights to this technology. In 2016, a new patent was granted for a process that reduces biosolids production by over 60%.
Today, we hold over 40 active patents and work globally to help clients rethink how wastewater is treated, from the biology up.

Three divisions. One focus.
Every plant is different. That’s why ABS brings together three service areas to create a tailored optimisation strategy for your facility.
Consulting
We analyse your plant’s operational
data, identify inefficiencies, and develop a tailored optimisation strategy to improve performance and compliance.
Field Services
On-site support from our experts to help fine-tune processes, troubleshoot issues, and implement improvements with minimal disruption.
Laboratory Services
Advanced microbial and process analysis to diagnose treatment inefficiencies and enhance biological performance for long-term sustainability.
What makes us different
Our approach is built on science, experience, and a deep understanding of wastewater challenges.

Fast results, long-term impact
Many plants see major gains within 90 days, but we don’t walk away after that. Our model supports ongoing performance optimisation.

Reduced capital burden
Our process helps plants avoid expensive upgrades by getting more from what’s already there, sweating your exiting the assets.

Proven track record
Our work consistently delivers results across municipal and industrial sectors.

End-to-end service
We bring together consulting, lab, and field teams to deliver full-circle support.

Biological Expertise
We specialise in the control of microbial population dynamics to unlock better performance.
