Retrofitting and Derating

New efficiency, same structure. Keeping existing plants competitive is a strategic necessity in a constantly evolving energy market.

MTM Energia offers advanced retrofitting and derating solutions for biogas-fired cogeneration plants, with the aim of extending the useful life of assets and improving their performance, whilst reducing operating costs.

Smart conversion, tangible benefits

Many systems installed in previous years are now oversized or no longer economically viable. In such cases, MTM Energia takes a two-pronged approach:.

  • Retrofitting

    We adapt the plant’s capacity to the actual availability of biogas and to new production requirements.

  • Derating

    We refurbish the plant by retaining existing components that are still efficient (containers, control panels, heat exchangers, piping), updating them with modern and reliable technologies.


The benefits of our solutions

  • Cost optimisation: savings of up to 30–40% compared to building a new plant
  • Operational efficiency: the new asset is better aligned with available biogas flows
  • Production continuity: plant downtime
 reduced to a minimum
  • Reduced environmental impact: fewer new materials, less waste.
