Meerut is all set to provide the first recycled paper plant, a model for scalable BioCNG production in India’s wastewater sector.
The project is a part of a partnership between Ivys Adsorption and NetXeroC Pvt. Ltd. to transform India’s wastewater sector.
The project will treat industrial wastewater using high-rate anaerobic digesters to produce raw biogas. To refine the biogas into renewable natural gas (RNG), the partners are deploying a combined platform of Ivy’s rotary valve PSA system and NetXeroC’s biochemical H₂S removal system (Thiopaq).
The combination of these two technologies reduces operational costs while maintaining system reliability, addressing two of the biggest challenges in biogas upgrading. The modular design utilized requires minimal maintenance while providing high recovery efficiency, making it well-suited for small to mid-sized industries that experience fluctuating loads and have space constraints.
“This is about more than upgrading gas—it’s about upgrading India’s approach to industrial decarbonization,” stated Suchit Dekivadia, CEO, NetXeroC. “By incorporating established international technology, we’re bridging the innovation gap and developing scalable solutions for clean energy transition.”
“India offers a significant opportunity for large-scale clean energy development,” said Prabhu Rao, President & CEO, Ivys Adsorption Inc. “Our Biostream and PSA product lines are tailored to provide modular and scalable solutions in the expanding biogas sector, and this collaboration enables us to combine our engineering expertise with NetXeroC’s market presence and practical experience.”
It must be noted that the partnership will provide a fillip to India’s SATAT initiative that aims to establish 5,000 compressed biogas plants by 2030 to enhance energy security and reduce carbon emissions. Wastewater is reassessed as a valuable energy resource, promoting climate goals and profitability.
