Biogas Products

What Biogas Products does

Biogas Products Ltd is a UK-based designer, manufacturer, and installer of equipment for anaerobic digestion (AD) and biogas conditioning, operating from a 10,000 sq ft fabrication facility in Brierley Hill, West Midlands. Founded in 2008 by Martin Newey and Tony Smith - each with over 30 years of experience in wastewater, agricultural and industrial equipment design - the company offers a full portfolio spanning biogas storage (membrane gas holders up to 30,000m3, double-membrane domes up to 30m diameter, insulated covers, lagoon covers), conditioning (316 stainless-steel and PVC reheaters, dehumidifiers, cooling systems, condensate pots, gas pipework), contaminant removal (chemical, biological and dry-media H2S scrubbers, siloxane scrubbers, BIOBOND metal-oxide media), and digestion support (sludge heat exchangers, rotary-valve gas mixers, biomethane heating). All products are designed, fabricated and assembled in-house, with own mechanical-fitter installation teams providing turnkey delivery.

The firm makes money primarily through capital-equipment sales (hardware manufactured to custom spec under quote-based pricing) and associated professional services including design, on-site installation and commissioning, plus recurring refurbishment and repair work on digesters, mechanical plant, and inlet screens at wastewater treatment works. Biobond media is sold as a recurring consumable with disclosed unit pricing (£949+VAT per cubic metre first order). Go-to-market is sales-led: direct engagement with water utilities, AD plant developers, farms and industrial operators, complemented by subcontractor relationships inside framework agreements with Nomenca, JN Bentley and Eric Wright that provide access to United Utilities, Yorkshire Water and Severn Trent upgrade programs. Pricing is not publicly disclosed beyond the media trial offer, with most contracts won via competitive tender.

The customer base is anchored in UK regulated water utilities (United Utilities, Yorkshire Water, Severn Trent) for AD upgrades, with secondary verticals in agricultural on-farm AD (Colony Farm, Hendwr Farm, Rose Hill Farm, Holtwood Farm), industrial process biogas (Saica Paper, John Smiths brewery, Balmenach), and ad-hoc export projects (USA, Norway, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Spain). Distribution is global via direct export and partnership channels, with a website, LinkedIn page, and project-case-study brochures as the primary marketing surface. Management remains tightly concentrated with the two founders owning and operating the business with no external institutional capital.
