DMT Environmental Technology (DMT) will be providing the biogas upgrading technology for the first ever collaboration between Thames Water and SGN Commercial Services in the UK. SGN was awarded an eight-year framework, amounting to £70 million (€82 million) by Thames Water. They will also design, construct, operate and regulate biogas processing plants at Thames Water’s wastewater treatment facilities.
This £7.3 million project will convert biogas generated during the sewage treatment process into biomethane using DMT’s membrane separation technology. The system also includes an enhanced pre-treatment system to remove high levels of hydrogen sulphide, siloxanes and volatile organic compounds often present in biogas derived from wastewater.
With installation completion expected in March 2022, Deephams Sewage Treatment Works will catalyze 6,000,000 m3 of biomethane annually – enough to provide energy to 3,500 homes in Enfield.
SGN Group owns and operates the gas distribution networks in southern England, Scotland and in western Northern Ireland. DMT and SGN have had a partnership delivering biomethane projects since 2012, including Rainbarrow Farm, which was UK’s first commercial gas-to-grid biogas plant from anaerobic digestion (AD).

Technology is a useful servant, but a dangerous master, it was rightly said. Electronic devices have grown into an inevitable part of our daily lives.
