Zeton Inc. has been selected by Chemetry Corp. to provide detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication and factory testing of a modular demonstration plant based on Chemetrys technology to produce Ethylene Dichloride (EDC).  Zeton and Chemetry have designed the 1000 metric ton/year demonstration plant to prove the reliability and commercial viability of Chemetrys eShuttle process. eShuttle was among the honorees for the 2017 Kirkpatrick Chemical Engineering Achievement Award. The project is being designed and built at Zetons facility. Once complete, the modular plant will be packaged and shipped to Braskems Vinyls site at Maceio, Alagoas State, Brazil. After reassembly, the plant will be prepared for operation and commissioned by Braskem and Chemetry with assistance from Zeton. The plant will be in operation for approximately one year to adequately demonstrate the performance and reliability of the new process.  Zeton was chosen by Chemetry for their world class...

India is on a very promising trajectory in its bid to be a US $5 trillion digital economy. To realize this goal, the Indian chemical Industry has a huge role to play. The government estimates that by 2025, the chemical Industry will grow to a sizable US $304 billion and attract investments of over Rs. 8 lakh crore. One of the biggest challenges we face as an industry is contracting gross margins due to soaring raw material costs and increasing operating costs due to higher freight, especially owing to the backdrop of the COVID pandemic.
