In this brief case study, we cover how EcoVapor, a DNOW Company, partnered with Regenis to design and build the first biogas-to-RNG facility for Peaks Renewables in Maine at that state’s largest dairy.
The Challenge: The RNG buyer, Summit Natural Gas of Maine, imposes a stringent limit on oxygen content, making oxygen removal essential for commercial sales and injection.
The Solution: We describe how EcoVapor designed a catalytic deoxo solution for Regenis, to ensure the upgraded biogas met the pipeline specification for oxygen content.
The Result: Using data from the first quarter of 2024, we illustrate the oxygen concentration of the RNG at the outlet and compare it to pipeline specification on a daily basis.
In summary, the Peaks Renewables dairy digester biogas-to-RNG plant is successfully converting a waste stream into valuable energy and how the EcoVapor ZerO2 catalytic deoxo solution helps deliver clean, carbon-negative energy to the local market, along with other benefits.

The EcoVapor Difference – Field-tested and Flexible Solutions
EcoVapor’s field-tested, proven catalytic deoxo technology eliminates oxygen from agricultural biogas streams to meet the most stringent pipeline specifications, helping upgrade biogas to valuable Renewable Natural Gas (RNG).
EcoVapor Advantages:
- Flexibility to right-size our equipment and align operating cost with volume.
- Field tested and proven technology with more than a decade of reliable operation.
- We can source the complete gas treating solution, from catalytic oxygen removal (deoxo) to H2S, drying capacity and more.
- Remove oxygen from your landfill gas stream to meet the most stringent pipeline specifications.
- No harmful byproducts or hazardous disposal requirements.
- No moving parts for high reliability.
- Simplifies operations, with less maintenance than competing solutions and more production uptime.
ZerO2 units in the field have chalked-up more than a decade of reliable operation for Oil & Gas producers in some of the most extreme, harsh weather environments. Now, our ZerO2 catalytic oxygen removal (deoxo) solution is available to agricultural biogas operations who want to capitalize on the RNG opportunity, improve sustainability and generate long-term profits.
ZerO2 is modular and facilitates a flexible approach, making it easy to scale up or down, as your biogas production volumes change and budget permits.
