FAQ

  • What software does Zeton use for drafting/CAD? answer
    Zeton uses AutoCAD from Autodesk for PFD and P&ID development, and AutoPLANT from Bentley for 3D plant (skid structure, equipment layout and process piping) design. Zeton also has experience with PDMS software for plant design from AVEVA.
  • Does Zeton own, develop or provide process technology? answer
    Zeton is a “technology neutral” company by design. As such, we take a benign intellectual property (IP) position so as not to compete with our customers. Our customers own the specific process technology used in our plants, or license the technology from others. Furthermore, Zeton does not own or actively develop process IP. Any process technology or innovation that is developed through a project belongs to our customer. Furthermore, our customers’ proprietary technology is covered by a non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement. Our employees are regularly briefed on the importance of protecting our clients’ IP, not just during a project, but also long after the project is finished.
  • Does Zeton provide on-site services? answer
    Following arrival of the completed process plant on site, Zeton offers the services of our engineers and craft technicians to our customers for on-site installation and start-up support.
  • Who handles the outside battery limits (OSBL) scope? answer
    In parallel with the ISBL scope managed by Zeton, we recommend that our customers select a local process contracting company to work on managing the OSBL scope. For larger pilot and demonstration scale projects, the OSBL scope includes managing the site civil works to accept the process skids, arranging for the necessary site utilities or tie-ins, leading the installation, tie-in and commissioning of the process plant (with support from Zeton), and interfacing with local authorities with respect to permitting.
  • Does Zeton have a U stamp? answer
    Zeton’s Canadian operation is an ASME “U” stamp certified shop where we can fabricate small pipe vessels requiring a “U” stamp.
  • What codes and standards does Zeton follow? answer
    Zeton follows all common codes and standards in North America and Europe. Examples in North America are: ASME VIII for pressure vessels, ANSI B31.3 for pressure pipe, NEC for electrical design; and in Europe are: CE (including PED and ATEX), ASME VIII and AD Merkblatter.
  • Is Zeton ISO registered? answer
    Quality Assurance is an essential part of our business. Zeton has ISO 9001:2008 accreditation with SGS in Canada, and ISO 9001:2000 accreditation with Lloyds in The Netherlands. Our conscientious staff work hard to maintain external quality accreditations that support our ongoing business and license to operate.
