Our competitive advantage
Xebec’s rotary valve and highly efficient proprietary adsorbent are the two core technology differentiators that
are integrated into each advanced biogas upgrading plant providing considerable CAPEX and OPEX cost savings.

Maximized Revenue. Improved Profitability. High recovery combined with the reliability of our biogas upgrading
solution and our low operating costs creates significantly more profit than any competing technology.

High Reliability. Xebec PSAs have accumulated over 15 million hours of commercial operation with proven
availabilities of better than 99.8%.

Ease of Installation. Xebec delivers modularized, skidded, containerized units for simple, fast installation.

Lowest Power Consumption. Xebec’s low-pressure PSA operation and advanced control systems give one
of the lowest possible power consumptions in biogas upgrading.
