What Quadrogen does

Quadrogen Power Systems, Inc. is a privately held Canadian clean-technology company headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia, founded in 2001, that designs, engineers, fabricates, and commissions custom gas cleanup, upgrading, and purification systems for the renewable energy and industrial gas sectors. Its technology portfolio is built on three proprietary platforms: the patented C3P Process (Condensation, Conversion, Capture, Polishing) for removing biogas contaminants such as siloxanes, sulfur species, halides, oxygen, and VOCs to parts-per-billion levels; a fast-cycle Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) system using an integrated rotary valve architecture; and a Hydrogen Booster combining water-gas shift catalysis with preferential oxidation to deliver hydrogen with carbon monoxide below 10 ppm. These platforms are packaged into application-specific products including the Integrated Biogas Cleanup System (IBCS), the IBUS ORCA turnkey biomethane recovery solution, hydrogen purification systems for industrial syngas and refinery off-gas, natural gas polishing systems for stranded and contaminated gas wells, and carbon capture equipment for boiler flue gases.

Quadrogen generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales of engineered, skid-mounted systems, supplemented by professional engineering and design services covering feasibility studies, fabrication, commissioning, and development programs. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting municipal wastewater treatment facilities, landfill operators, agricultural anaerobic digesters, industrial hydrogen generators and users, and natural gas producers and pipeline operators across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia. The company operates offices in Burnaby (headquarters), Fort Worth, Texas, and Pune, India, with regional subsidiaries including Quadrogen Asia-Pacific Inc. and Quadrogen India Private Limited, and in 2025 established Quadrogen Renewables to expand into renewable energy project development in the U.S. and Canada. Quadrogen reports 114 installed reference sites globally, and its commercial milestones include the 2022 Delta landfill-gas-to-biomethane project for FortisBC. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed, and the company is actively recruiting engineering staff to support ongoing project execution and capacity expansion.

Revenue model

1. Biogas Cleanup and Upgrading Systems: Design, build, and installation of customized biogas cleanup and upgrading plants that convert waste biogas from wastewater treatment, landfills, agricultural digesters, and organic facilities into renewable natural gas (biomethane). Systems include the IBUS ORCA turnkey biomethane recovery solution.
2. Hydrogen Purification Systems: Sale and deployment of hydrogen purification systems using fast-cycle PSA technology to recover waste hydrogen streams from industrial sources (syngas, coke-oven gas, refinery off-gas) into high-purity hydrogen for use in fuel cell vehicles, data centers, telecom, and chemical processing.
3. Carbon Capture Equipment: Equipment for capturing carbon dioxide from flue gases such as boilers for utilization and/or liquefaction. Part of the industrial gas recovery and environmental solutions portfolio.
4. Engineering and Design Services: State-of-the-art engineering and design services provided to customers, including techno-economic feasibility studies, system fabrication, and development programs for complete biogas, hydrogen, carbon capture and industrial gas recovery systems.

Core offering

Quadrogen designs, builds, and installs customized gas cleanup and upgrading systems that convert waste biogas from wastewater treatment plants, landfills, agricultural digesters, and organic facilities into renewable natural gas (biomethane). The portfolio also includes hydrogen purification systems that recover high-purity hydrogen from industrial syngas and waste hydrogen streams, and carbon capture equipment for industrial flue gases. Core product platforms are the Integrated Biogas Cleanup System (IBCS) using the patented C3P Process, the fast-cycle Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) System, the Hydrogen Booster, and the turnkey IBUS ORCA biomethane recovery solution.

Product overview

Quadrogen is a Clean Technology company that provides a portfolio of engineered gas clean-up and upgrading solutions for the renewable energy sector. The product portfolio centers around three core technology platforms: the Integrated Biogas Cleanup System (IBCS) using the patented C3P Process, the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) System with fast-cycle rotary valve technology, and the Hydrogen Booster system. These technologies are packaged into application-specific products including the IBUS ORCA (Integrated Biogas Upgrading System) for biomethane production, the Hydrogen Purification System for industrial hydrogen recovery, and the Natural Gas Polishing System for pipeline quality gas. Quadrogen offers complete systems with engineering, design, fabrication, and support services.

Broad incumbents

• Honeywell UOP: Licensor of gas processing technologies including PSA, membrane, and adsorbent platforms across refining, petrochemical, and renewable energy end-uses; competes indirectly with Quadrogen in biogas cleanup, hydrogen purification, and natural gas polishing through its broad technology licensing portfolio.
• Chart Industries: Large industrial gas and energy process equipment manufacturer (cold boxes, PSA, liquefaction) serving hydrogen, RNG, and LNG end-markets; competes as a broader incumbent offering integrated gas processing skids that overlap with Quadrogen’s hydrogen purification, natural gas polishing, and carbon capture portfolios.
• Air Products and Chemicals: Global industrial gas major with significant hydrogen production, biogas purification, and carbon capture capabilities; overlaps with Quadrogen on industrial hydrogen recovery from refinery off-gas and syngas, and on CO2 capture from flue gas applications.
• Clean Energy Fuels: Largest North American RNG fuel distributor (Redeem™ brand) operating an integrated dairy biomethane project pipeline; comparable as a downstream RNG offtaker/customer-adjacent counterparty whose project economics drive demand for gas cleanup and upgrading systems like Quadrogen’s.

Direct peers

• Brightmark Energy: U.S. developer of biogas and RNG projects including dairy and landfill methane capture; targets the same agricultural and landfill operator customers for biogas upgrading and RNG monetization that Quadrogen serves with its IBCS and IBUS ORCA systems.
• Vanguard Renewables: U.S. farm-based anaerobic digestion and RNG project developer; comparable because it both develops agricultural biogas-to-RNG projects (where Quadrogen’s technology is embedded as the cleanup/upgrading equipment) and because new Quadrogen Renewables CEO Ashwani Kumar previously led operations there across 37 assets.
• Anaergia: Multinational clean-energy firm focused on organic waste processing, anaerobic digestion, and RNG production with operations across five continents; comparable because it operates similar biogas-to-RNG project pipelines and utilizes gas cleanup/upgrading equipment that competes with Quadrogen’s offering.
• Xebec Adsorption (now Enerflex Adsorption): Was the leading independent supplier of PSA-based biogas upgrading and hydrogen purification systems in North America before being acquired by Enerflex; competes head-to-head with Quadrogen’s IBCS, IBUS ORCA, and Hydrogen Purification product lines for the same municipal, landfill, and agricultural RNG projects.

Emerging players

• Mainsail Energy / Greenfire Energy: Specialty biogas upgrading and RNG project developer active in North America; overlaps with Quadrogen’s landfill and agricultural customer set as both a competitor in integrated project delivery and a potential channel for Quadrogen’s cleanup and PSA equipment.

Regional players

• Schmack Carbotech / Carbotech: European supplier of activated carbon and gas treatment systems (including biogas desulfurization, PSA, and biogas upgrading) headquartered in Germany; competes with Quadrogen’s IBCS and PSA platforms primarily in the European agricultural digester and landfill gas upgrading market.
