About Us
Australia’s future faces a significant new challenge. With water supply expected to decrease by 40 percent within the next two decades, a significantly increased pressure is placed on the industry to outsource the way water resources are managed.
From the tap to the sewer, BioChem Water provides the expertise to address these future challenges. We identify water saving opportunities with a focus on reduction of total cost of operation.
BioChem Water also provides an array of water treatment technologies with a strong emphasis on identifying water reuse/recycling opportunities to increase operational efficiency, as well as meeting environmental compliance.

PNG Water Filtration Case Study
BioChem Water is committed to combining technology and knowhow in order to provide efficient, cost-effective solutions that not only benefit the environment but deliver prosperity for our clients. Whether we are working with a large corporation or in remote villages overseas, we love what we do.
Clean water is something many of us take for granted to be available on tap. Unfortunately for millions of people, including many rural communities living in Papua New Guinea, illness and death from preventable waterborne diseases can be an everyday reality simply because they do not have access to clean water.
On invitation by Sir Peter Barter, Richard Brown had the privilege to test and deploy hand-powered water filtration to villages along the Sepik and Ramu rivers. These cost-effective, easy to operate systems provide clean drinking waters to these communities.
