As the world’s leading designer and builder of lab scale systems, pilot plants, demonstration plants and small modular commercial plants Zeton helps its customers bring their new technology and processes to market, faster, with less risk and lower cost.
Zeton has successfully completed over 750 projects in 35 countries across six continents.



Zeton designs and builds world-class lab scale systems, pilot plants, demonstration plants and small modular commercial plants to assist our customers in commercializing their process technology. Our focus for each project includes five key elements which define our commitment, and our promise, to our customers.
REALIZE Safety
For Zeton, safety in design and fabrication is our top priority. In engineering, we look for safe design alternatives. During shop fabrication, we apply the best ideas from different industries, and solicit customer feedback and suggestions to improve safety
REALIZE IP Protection
Zeton protects our customers’ intellectual property, and does not own or license process technology. NDA/CDA agreements and guidelines protect the integrity of our customers’ intellectual property rights, both during and after each project.
REALIZE Quality
Zeton’s unique integrated design-build approach empowers the engineers who design a plant to also supervise its construction. We deliver the highest quality lab scale system, pilot plant, demonstration plant and modular plant projects within the framework of our ISO 9001 accreditation. Our project managers ensure that every project meets or exceeds our customer’s expectations.
REALIZE Schedule
Zeton has over a quarter century of proven experience in meeting schedule commitments, resulting in pilot plants that are ready to operate in the shortest possible timeframe. This is achieved through modular plant design and fabrication, and scale-appropriate project execution methodologies. We deliver pre-tested plant modules to facilitate rapid on-site reassembly and testing, with minimal disruption to existing site operations.
REALIZE Value
Since 1986, Zeton has been delivering lab scale system, pilot plant, demonstration plant and modular process plant projects for a competitive price. Our design engineers apply the principles of value engineering during basic and detailed design, and we pass any savings on to our customers. Using scale-specific solutions customized for each individual project, we work collaboratively with our customers to deliver the highest quality product within the available budget.
