BluemethaneMethane Recovery from Water Technology

SHARE

Bluemethane offers a technology designed to address the challenge of removing methane from water at an industrial scale. Operating primarily within wastewater processes, the technology consists of a methane monitoring system and a data platform that identifies methane presence. It employs an energy-efficient recovery solution, capturing the biogas for use in powering systems and supporting onsite energy demands. The system integrates seamlessly with existing wastewater infrastructure, using proprietary degassing processes and a series of separators to extract methane efficiently. With a recovery efficiency of around 70%, the solution is not only energy-positive but also designed with a modular and low-maintenance structure, ensuring ease of manufacture and supply. Bluemethane's technology supports global ambitions for net-zero carbon targets, positioning itself strategically in the UK, where water utilities strive for operational net-zero by 2030. This technology exemplifies a sidestream process, pivotal in decarbonizing wastewater treatment workflows.

We design solutions to recover the most methane from water using the least energy. We achieve this firstly through a methane monitoring system and data platform that identifies when and where methane is present, then secondly through an energy efficient technology recovery solution. The captured biogas can be used to power the system and help support the power requirement of onsite activities.

Bluemethane technology is cost-effective, energy-efficient, low maintenance and has a modular design for ease of manufacture and supply.

Beginning our technological journey

In response to a convergence of factors including evolving awareness, industry leadership, and growing social pressure in Europe and the USA, there’s an intensified focus on mitigating methane emissions. This emphasis is particularly pronounced within the water utilities and wastewater sectors, driven by the imperative to achieve ambitious net-zero carbon targets.

Located at Cranfield: a hub for water research
Bluemethane launches its operations in the United Kingdom, strategically positioned at Cranfield, renowned for its water research excellence. The UK serves as an optimal starting point, with its water utilities committing to operational net-zero status by 2030. However, existing technology falls short of realising this vision. Aligning with the United Kingdom Climate Change Committee and legislation, our initiatives resonate with counterparts across the EU.
