METAMO PROCESS TECHNOLOGY LTD.

What METAMO PROCESS TECHNOLOGY LTD. does

METAMO Process Technology Ltd. is a UK-based private limited company registered in England (company number 7481058) and headquartered in Northfleet, Kent. The company designs, builds, and integrates anaerobic digestion (AD) systems that convert organic waste into biogas and digestate, serving farmers, food manufacturers, and waste management operators in the United Kingdom. The engineering team is described as German, indicating that the firm's AD plant design practice is anchored in continental European process expertise. Service scope extends from individual pre-treatment units to complete AD plant installations, with remote monitoring and control offered alongside the hardware.

The company's product line focuses on pre-treatment and process intensification hardware intended to raise AD throughput and biogas yield. Core offerings include an Ultrasound Disintegrator, a De-gritter, an MSW Separator/Pulper, and a Resorption System, all centered on a patented Separator Cut-off System that the company presents as its proprietary differentiator. METAMO does not build these components from a clean-sheet platform; instead, it integrates proven separation and de-packaging equipment supplied by technology partners North-Tec Biogas of Germany and Hybag of Switzerland. The resulting stack positions METAMO as a UK system integrator and front-end for European AD componentry rather than a pure OEM.

Commercially, the firm operates a direct, project-based sales model with quote-based pricing per AD plant installation. Revenue mechanics are dominated by capital equipment and plant-build contracts, supplemented by a smaller remote-monitoring service annuity. A try-before-you-buy rental programme is offered as a lower-friction evaluation path for prospective customers. The customer base is split across three UK-based verticals — farmers, food manufacturers, and waste management operators — with no named customer logos disclosed, indicating a long-tail of project engagements rather than concentrated enterprise accounts.

Core offering

Metamo supplies and installs anaerobic digestion (AD) plants and complementary equipment modules — de-packagers, de-gritters, ultrasound disintegrators, digestate separators, municipal waste separators, and resorption heat-to-cold systems — that convert organic waste from farms, food manufacturers, and waste operators into biogas for electricity, heat, or fuel. The company delivers turnkey solutions including planning permission assistance, project management, equipment installation, and ongoing remote monitoring for UK businesses.

Product overview

METAMO PROCESS TECHNOLOGY LTD. is a UK-based company staffed by German engineers offering a modular anaerobic digestion (AD) ecosystem for converting organic waste into renewable energy. The core portfolio centers on complete AD plants supplemented by complementary equipment modules: the State of the Art De-packager (from Swiss partner Hybag) for preparing packaged food waste, the Municipal Solid Waste Separator/Pulper for mixed waste streams, and the De-gritter for protecting downstream equipment. Key add-on modules include the Ultrasound Disintegrator (from a partner) for boosting gas yield by 10-25%, the Plug and Play Separation System (from North-Tec Biogas) for processing digestate, and a Resorption System for converting waste heat to cold. The company also provides remote monitoring, waste water treatment solutions, and project management services. All offerings are sourced from established German/Austrian/Swiss technology partners with local installation and support in the UK.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Anaerobic Digestion Plant Complete anaerobic digestion systems that convert organic waste (food, farm, household) into clean electricity, heat, or fuel; sized to suit operations from small farms to large industrial facilities. For UK businesses seeking energy independence and waste recycling.
• State of the Art De-packager Equipment that breaks up and separates packaged or bagged food into clean, dry shredded plastic (less than 1% organic matter) and pumpable organic substrate (less than 1% plastic, average particle size less than 4mm), processing up to 20 cubic metres per hour on a 5.25m² footprint. For food manufacturers and waste operators preparing packaged food waste for AD.
• Municipal Solid Waste Separator/Pulper Robust separator that handles mixed and bagged municipal waste, separating it into stones and heavy solids, light materials (plastics for Refuse Derived Fuels), and organics suitable for digestion; scalable to operations of any size. For municipal and commercial waste management operators.
• De-gritter Hydrocyclone-based system treating 60 cubic meters per hour, removing up to 240-300 liters of grit, glass, bones, eggshells, and metals from substrate before it enters the digester to protect equipment and maximize capacity. For AD plant operators.
• Ultrasound Disintegrator Low-maintenance ultrasound technology that sits alongside a digester, continuously processing substrate to break down cell structure for greater fermentation, resulting in 10-25% increased biogas yield and higher methane content with approximately 3-year payback. Available as a try-before-you-buy rental test service. For AD plant operators seeking higher yield.
• Plug and Play Separation System Separates spent digestate into liquid and solid components; liquid can be used for irrigation or pumped back to digesters while odourless solids can be stored outdoors for use as fertilizer or animal bedding. Uses a patented cut-off system that prevents liquid contamination of solids and runs automatically via gravity. For AD plant operators.
• Resorption System (Heat to Cold) Compact, economic, and flexible system that converts waste heat from production processes into cold for cooling buildings, storage areas, dairies, computer rooms, and produce stores. For food manufacturers and AD plant operators with excess heat.
• Waste Water Treatment Solutions Complete range of solutions to pre-treat, clean, and sterilize process water for re-use or return to water supply, with proactive monitoring and plant management services. For industrial process operators.
• Remote Monitoring and Control Service Remote monitoring and control services for AD plants to pre-empt problems and optimize efficiency; may include operating plants on behalf of customers. For AD plant operators.
• Planning Permission and Project Management Services Planning permission assistance including community engagement, and project management for AD installation from qualified process engineers; qualified engineers can also design, install and maintain other process systems beyond AD. For businesses undertaking AD installations.
