Wastewater with high COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) levels isn’t just an environmental challenge — it’s a costly one 💸 The good news? There’s a smarter way. At METzero, we’re helping companies treat wastewater more efficiently while recovering valuable resources. ✅ Reduce treatment costs ✅ Improve energy efficiency ✅ Recover valuable resources like hydrogen and ammonia 🎥 Watch the video to uncover the hidden cost of COD per population equivalence (PE). 👉 Follow us for more insights and discover how we’re redefining wastewater treatment. #metzerotechnologies #wastewatertreatment #cleantech #innovation
METzero Technologies
Utilities
Retrofittable and energy saving wastewater treatment technology that recovers products of economic value from wastewater
About us
We offer a cost effective anaerobic wastewater treatment process for the industrial and municipal market. We are using Microbial Electrochemical Technologies (METs) to unlock the trapped energy in wastewater and extract valuable by-products from it whilst reducing it's chemical oxygen demand (COD) and meet discharge consents. Out MET products aim to take the water sector a step closer to achieving their NETzero targets!

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆. 𝗔 𝗱𝗼𝘇𝗲𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱. I’ve just wrapped up an unforgettable week in #Singapore as part of the Innovate UK Global Incubator Programme’s CleanTech Mission — and the energy, ambition, and action around sustainability here is something to admire. From meetings with government agencies, investors, corporates, and academic institutions, to exploring the R&D and piloting landscape, we were fully immersed in what it takes to grow a clean technology business in Asia. The next 8 months of this program will help us solidify these plans and connections made during the immersion week. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀? 🌏 Singapore isn’t just open to sustainable innovation — they 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙮 seek it out. 👥 The cleantech ecosystem here moves fast and moves together — across sectors. 🤝 Being part of a diverse founder cohort reminds me how much we learn from each other. No two journeys are the same, but the shared mission creates a bond. Grateful to have pitched METzero Technologies and its vision for redefining wastewater to ENGIE Factory, Enterprise Singapore, Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), National Climate Change Secretariat, Singapore, PUB, Singapore's National Water Agency, Panasonic, Centre for Environmental Sustainability (CfES)...and many more. Special thanks to the teams at Innovate UK Business Connect (Gail Cherry, Jens Böhm, Sophie Randall, Jon Hazell), Better Earth Ventures (Rebecca Sharpe, Linhan Wu, Arunav Pal), and Singapore Deep-Tech Alliance (SDTA) (Luuk Eliens, Megan C.) for making this week not just productive, but powerful. To my fellow founders — thank you for the late-night chats, honest advice, and inspiration. What a crew!

🚨 Many wastewater treatment technologies consume more energy than they recover. And for beverage producers and utilities alike, energy is one of the most significant cost drivers. That’s where METzero steps in. With our advanced Microbial Electrolysis Cells (MECs), we flip this dynamic: ⚡ Treat wastewater with lower energy input 🔄 Recover valuable resources like hydrogen and ammonia 💰 Reduce operational costs and boost sustainability credentials Ready to take control of your energy costs? 👉 Follow METzero for solutions and insights that help you save money, cut emissions, and unlock the hidden value in your wastewater. #metzerotechnologies #wastewatertreatment #cleantech #innovation Christopher Thomas Elizabeth (Liz) Heidrich Lily Forrest Michael Cooper

🔋 Energy costs are one of the biggest operational challenges for beverage producers. Wastewater treatment costs contribute significantly to that. Why? Because traditional treatment systems consume more energy than they recover. That’s a problem. At METzero, we flip that model. In this post, we break down: ✅ Why energy matters in wastewater ✅ What does it cost you to stay with conventional treatment ✅ And how METzero helps you cut costs, reduce emissions, and improve capacity 🌱 If your beverage plant is exploring energy-efficient, sustainable treatment, this is for you. 🔁 Follow METzero for more practical insights on wastewater innovation that works. #metzerotechnologies #wastewatertreatment #cleantech #innovation

🍻️Beverage producers like breweries and distilleries generate high-strength wastewater rich in sugars and organics (BOD and COD). That means energy-intensive treatment, but we’re here to change that. ♻️ With METzero, you can: ✅ Reduce your treatment plant’s energy use by up to 11% ✅ Meet compliance and lower your greenhouse gas emissions by 30% ✅ Increase capacity by 20% with our retrofittable system ✅ Recover value from wastewater, including hydrogen and ammonia Ready to redefine your wastewater strategy? 👉 Interested in finding out more?
