For EPCs and procurement
- Lower module purchase costs
- More margin, or a sharper project price
- Straightforward replacement, with compatibility confirmed by your team
- We supply the modules; you keep the system design
Improve your biomethane profitability.
Elastia is a UK materials science company that develops and manufactures membrane modules for biomethane upgrading. The same or better performance, at a lower cost to both the EPC and the end operator.
01 What we offer
Lower costs for the EPC. Better returns for the operator.
For operators and EPC sales
- Lower upgrading energy costs: a saving you keep every year the plant runs
- More saleable biomethane from higher throughput
- Better lifetime economics from lower degradation
- Higher-value gas, where specifications and conditioning allow
- We work with your technical team or your engineering partners, whichever is easiest
Monitor AI. We can provide a digital twin of the modules to monitor and improve their performance.
02 Performance and evidence
Cost less to buy. Cost less to run. Last longer.
Cost less to buy
20–30%
indicative reduction in module purchase cost
The same biomethane purity with approximately 30% less membrane material, which makes up most of a module's cost.

CH₄ and CO₂ product purity, after conditioning
More saleable biomethane, and gas for higher-value applications.
Based on previous experimental and live-site results. All benefits can be achieved together, but not all figures shown at once; results depend on feed gas and configuration.
We can offer experimental and simulation data upon request →03 Our technology
Innovative materials science, built into a module.
Built on more than a decade of UK research. We design membrane materials at the molecular level.
- PermeabilityCO₂ passes through more easily, so less membrane does the job.
- SelectivityA cleaner split from methane, for purer product gas.
- DurabilityPerformance holds for longer.
We model performance against your product specification stage by stage, including oxygen.
Tailored over time. Our R&D can develop module variants for demanding site or regulatory requirements, such as meeting tight oxygen limits or minimising methane slip.
Formats. Standard 4-, 6- and 8-inch modules, with custom 12–16-inch diameters on request. End connections designed around common upgrader configurations. Replace cartridges at changeover, or run ours in parallel first. Technical data sheet on request →

Feedstocks
We are testing agricultural-waste biogas and landfill gas. We welcome opportunities to test across all biogas feedstocks.
04 Joint technical evaluation
Start with a conversation.
We offer a free initial modelled comparison using data from one of your sites, or an example project; anonymised data is fine. You provide the gas data and judge the results; our scientists carry out all material development.
- 01
Identify
Meet your technical team and agree priorities and a suitable site or project.
- 02
Model
Free modelled comparison of the business case, using that site's data.
- 03
Test
Agree success criteria, then test at our London laboratory, on site, or both.
- 04
Agree terms
Review performance and economics, then agree commercial terms.
For operators. Start with a metered trial alongside your existing modules, where the upgrader allows, or a swap at your next membrane changeover. We work with your EPC or OEM.

More value from every gas stream
Biomethane upgrading is our focus today. Our wider ambition is to apply gas separation technologies to circular processes that turn waste-derived gases into valuable and sustainable energy and chemicals products.
