In this case study, we explore how EcoVapor, a DNOW Company, collaborated with Regenis to create Maine’s first biogas-to-RNG facility for Peaks Renewables, located at the state’s largest dairy farm.
The Challenge: Summit Natural Gas of Maine, the RNG buyer, has strict limits on oxygen content, making oxygen removal crucial for commercial sales and pipeline injection.
The Solution: EcoVapor designed a catalytic deoxo solution for Regenis, ensuring the upgraded biogas met the stringent pipeline specifications for oxygen content.
The Result: Using data from the first quarter of 2024, we demonstrate the oxygen concentration of the RNG at the outlet, comparing it to pipeline specifications on a daily basis.
In summary, the Peaks Renewables dairy digester biogas-to-RNG plant successfully converts waste into valuable energy. The EcoVapor ZerO2 catalytic deoxo solution delivers clean, carbon-negative energy to the local market, along with other benefits.

The EcoVapor Difference – Field-tested and Flexible Solutions
EcoVapor’s proven catalytic deoxo technology eliminates oxygen from agricultural biogas streams to meet the most stringent pipeline specifications, upgrading biogas to valuable Renewable Natural Gas (RNG).
EcoVapor Advantages:
- Flexibility to right-size equipment and align operating costs with volume.
- Field-tested technology with over a decade of reliable operation.
- Comprehensive gas treating solutions, from catalytic oxygen removal (deoxo) to H2S, drying capacity, and more.
- No harmful byproducts or hazardous disposal requirements.
- High reliability with no moving parts.
- Simplified operations with less maintenance and more production uptime.
ZerO2 units have over a decade of reliable operation in extreme weather environments for Oil & Gas producers. Now, our ZerO2 catalytic oxygen removal (deoxo) solution is available for agricultural biogas operations, helping them capitalize on the RNG opportunity, improve sustainability, and generate long-term profits.
ZerO2 is modular and flexible, making it easy to scale up or down as biogas production volumes change and budgets permit.
