Pilot Plants
Bridging the gap between bench-scale chemistry and commercial manufacturing.
When you’re on the critical path to technology commercialization, you need to know that you have a team of experts on your side that you can trust and have complete confidence in to help you successfully bridge the gap between bench-scale chemistry and commercial manufacturing.
"The Mark IV design represents a major step forward in evolution of the Davison Circulating Riser pilot unit. The ergonomics of the unit have been considerably improved as a result of the new equipment and skid layout, and the additional of positioners on the pressure control valves along with the new state-of-the-art control system has significantly improved overall system performance."

CASE STUDY
Case Study – Plastics Deinking Plant
Zeton designed and built the new Plastic Deinking Pilot Plant for Ghent University's Campus Kortrijk, a key installation within the CLARIFY program. The modular, chemical-resistant line removes inks, coatings and aluminium layers from complex plastic film packaging and extracts migratable substances, a crucial step toward producing high-quality, food-safe recycled material. Built with versatility in mind, the pilot also supports dissolution-based recycling and a broad range of future applications, marking a major step toward circular plastics processing in Flanders and…
