It is fairly straightforward to adapt standard Gröbner basis techniques to such algebras, e.g. see the [paper \[1\]][1]. See also the [paper \[0\]][0] which applies such algorithms to the problem at hand.

LNCS 4194, 149-154 https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/11870814_12 Abstract. Let G be a group given by generators and relations. It is possible to compute a presentation matrix of a module over a ring through Fox's differential calculus. We show how to use Gröbner bases as an algorithmic tool to compare the chains of elementary ideals defined by the matrix. We apply this technique to classical examples of groups and to compute the elementary ideals of Alexander matrix of knots up to 11 crossings with the same Alexander polynomial.

AAECC 9, 271-291 (1999) https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s002000050108 *Abstract.* We develop a basic theory of Gröbner bases for ideals in the algebra of Laurent polynomials (and, more generally, in its monomial subalgebras). For this we have to generalize the notion of term order. The theory is applied to systems of linear partial difference equations (with constant coefficients) on ${\mathbb Z}^n$. Furthermore, we present a method to compute the intersection of an ideal in the algebra of Laurent polynomials with the subalgebra of all polynomials.
