METIS Power redefines the economics of power generation by decoupling fuel quality from engine reliability. Our Fuel Flexible Power Generation solution utilizes an advanced external combustion architecture that allows you to monetize waste streams, syngas, and biomass without the maintenance penalties of traditional internal combustion. By keeping the combustion outside the turbine, we offer a system that is feedstock-agnostic, incredibly rugged, and ready for the future of energy independence.
Strategic Applications: Versatility in Action
Flexible Power from Waste Gasification
Turn municipal and industrial waste streams into a high-value energy asset.
Syngas produced from waste gasification is often too "dirty" or inconsistent for standard engines. Our solution thrives on unrefined syngas, eliminating the need for complex gas-scrubbing systems. This provides a direct, reliable pathway for waste-to-energy projects to achieve high uptime and energy recovery.
- Advanced particulate-tolerant combustion
- Elimination of expensive gas cleaning costs
- Sustainable municipal waste management
Reliable Generation from Biomass Sources
Monetize agricultural residues, wood waste, and forest byproducts.
Biomass gas quality can be unpredictable and highly corrosive to internal engine components. The METIS architecture handles these thermal fluctuations easily, allowing mills and agricultural facilities to generate carbon-neutral electricity from their own organic waste streams without frequent maintenance.
- Carbon-neutral electricity production
- Resilient against seasonal BTU variability
- On-site local energy security
Optimized Generation for Low LHV & High-CO Streams
Complete energy recovery from lean gas streams down to 150 Btu/scf.
Utilizing low Lower Heating Value (LHV) fuels, such as lean syngas, pyrolysis gas, or industrial waste streams, presents a significant combustion challenge: Carbon Monoxide (CO). Unlike hydrogen or methane, CO requires a significantly longer residence time at high temperatures to achieve complete oxidation.
While standard internal combustion engines and turbines often "short-cycle" this process, leading to incomplete burnout, wasted energy, and high emissions, the METIS solution is engineered for total conversion. The MEC-5700 External Combustor provides the necessary thermal volume and extended residence time to ensure every molecule of CO is fully utilized. This unique capability allows you to extract the maximum available power from lean feedstocks that others are forced to flare.
- Total Energy Valorization
- Complete lazy fuels (CO) Burnout
- Island-mode and black-start capable
Converting Flare Gas into Operational Profit
Eliminate flaring liabilities and lower your facility's carbon footprint.
Flare gas is often ignored due to impurities or low caloric values that stall traditional generators. Our technology recovers this energy to power on-site operations, turning a regulatory burden and environmental liability into a significant cost-saving measure for the oil and gas sector.
- Compliance with flare reduction mandates
- High performance on low-BTU associated gas
- Rapid ROI on stranded gas assets
Durable Power for Landfill and Wastewater Sites
Generate renewable energy from biogas without damaging your generation equipment.
Siloxanes and hydrogen sulfide in biogas typically cause catastrophic failures in internal combustion engines. Because our turbine only touches clean, heated air, your maintenance costs stay low even when utilizing the most aggressive and unrefined raw biogas sources.
- Resistance to siloxane and H2S damage
- Maximized uptime for landfill operations
- Low-maintenance renewable power pathway
Industrial Power from Manufacturing Byproducts
Capture the full energy potential of chemical and manufacturing off-gases.
Many industrial processes vent combustible gases that vary in chemical composition. Our system provides strategic "Fuel Arbitrage," switching seamlessly between byproduct process gas and standard natural gas to ensure your plant stays powered regardless of the current production cycle.
- Maximize total process efficiency
- Strategic fuel arbitrage capabilities
- Seamless feedstock switching on-the-fly
