CMR-Water
Turning wastewater-derived biogas into clean fuels and valuable products, while protecting air, groundwater and surface waters.
Discuss a projectSee how it works
Wastewater plants already produce a resource. Most of it is wasted.
Digesters and landfills generate biogas rich in methane and CO₂. It is often flared, vented or used at low value. CMR-Water adds a standardized conversion layer that turns that carbon into transportable, low-carbon products.
Cut methane
Capture and convert methane, with measured slip and avoided baseline emissions.
Protect water
Designed to integrate with treatment, containment and monitoring that safeguard aquifers and surface water.
Recover value
Fuels and chemical intermediates create new revenue and offset whole-life infrastructure cost.
Enable reuse
Fits alongside fit-for-purpose water reuse and nutrient and residual recovery.
One feed interface. One standard CMR core. Multiple products.
Site-specific engineering is concentrated at the gas, utility, permitting and product-export interfaces; the core is replicated.
A measurable hierarchy, not a slogan
CMR-Water works inside a broader water resource recovery approach. Performance is measured and independently verified, not assumed.
- Prevent untreated releases
- Minimize harmful air, liquid and solid discharges
- Reuse water and recover carbon, energy and nutrients
- Verify results through site-specific MRV
Air
Methane capture, low slip, less flaring
Groundwater
Containment and monitoring
Surface water
Lower pathogen, nutrient and organic loads
Circularity
Water, carbon, nutrient recovery
Sized by biogas, configured by product
Model numbers follow nominal raw-biogas capacity, so projects scale without redesigning the core.
| Model | Raw biogas | Typical application |
|---|---|---|
| CMR-Water 50 | 50 Nm³/h | Small municipal or industrial recovery |
| CMR-Water 100 | 100 Nm³/h | Small-to-medium municipal plants |
| CMR-Water 250 | 250 Nm³/h | Standard commercial reference module |
| CMR-Water 500 | 500 Nm³/h | Two-train commercial configuration |
| CMR-Water 1000 | 1,000 Nm³/h | Large municipal or hub-scale sites |
Products: H₂, NH₃, Fischer-Tropsch liquids, methanol, DME, RNG. Delivery: outright sale, build-own-operate (BOO), build-own-operate-transfer (BOOT) or licensing. Final specifications are project-specific and follow FEED, site data and commercial terms.
From standard design to a global platform
Our 2027–2035 plan is a development pathway, not a guarantee of timing or performance.
Define and standardize
Design basis, feed-gas specification, environmental MRV standard, municipal site-assessment tool and partner framework.
Replicate
First commercial systems in Canada and developed markets, first international resource-recovery project, regional EPC and O&M partnerships.
Global platform
Multi-country BOO, BOOT and licensing deployments with recurring service and MRV revenue.
