CASE STUDY
Case Study – Distillation Plant: Huntsman
Zeton and Huntsman collaborated on a hazardous-duty distillation pilot plant, beginning with early conceptual design and whiteboard technical discussions. The large-scale modular plant, subject to ATEX classification and strict site standards, needed to integrate into an existing outdoor pilot plant. Close teamwork between both companies' engineers shaped every equipment and process decision, and the completed modules were fully assembled and tested in Zeton's shop before shipment, minimizing risk of misalignment at the customer's site and…
