en.Wedoany.com Reported - German specialty chemicals company Evonik has signed a large-scale agreement with Malaysian biogas upgrading equipment manufacturer MTC Orec Sdn Bhd (MTCO) to supply its SEPURAN® Green membranes and patented technology. MTCO, co-owned and managed by the Malaysian government-backed entity VentureTECH, is a key designer and manufacturer of biogas upgrading equipment and plans to expand this renewable energy technology across Asia.

"We are delighted to be the membrane technology partner for a distinguished renewable energy provider like MTCO," said Goetz Baumgarten, head of the Membrane & Fiber product line within Evonik's High Performance Polymers business line. "Their goal to further develop biogas upgrading equipment in Malaysia and Asia aligns perfectly with our SEPURAN® growth strategy." The collaboration officially took effect at a signing ceremony on April 23, 2026, at Evonik's membrane production site in Schörfling, Austria.

Dr. Zahari bin Mohamad, CEO of MTCO, stated: "The partnership with Evonik reflects a shared commitment to advancing biomethane solutions through engineering excellence and innovation." Evonik's SEPURAN® Green membranes can convert biogas into high-purity biomethane, a process known as "biogas upgrading." The membranes are made from polyimide fibers produced at Evonik's Austrian plant and are packaged in ready-to-use cylindrical modules that can be customized to customer specifications. Their features include the ability to produce liquefied natural gas (LNG) quality biomethane with low energy consumption, and the technology holds patents in the U.S., EU, and other regions. Currently, the technology is used in over 2,000 upgrading plants worldwide.
