Established in 1974, Xytel quickly became the world leader in advanced, automated pilot plants and process systems engineering. Since then, we have commissioned more than 600 pilot plants worldwide.

More than half our customers have returned for additional plants, sending a clear signal that we are yet today the world’s foremost pilot plant designer and manufacturer. Whether you need a one-of-a-kind lab-scale unit or a complete turnkey mini-plant, you benefit from our unrivaled depth of technological knowledge and experience.

Our range of experience stretches over more than 135 different products, including ammonia, biomass, botanicals, butanol, catalysts, coal, coffee, essential oils, fructose, fuel cells, gasoline, hops, jet fuels, polymers, riboflavin, soaps, styrene, waxes and zeolites.

Xytel also has worked with every type of homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction – both catalytic and non-catalytic – hydrogenation, polymerization, liquefaction, pyrolysis, fermentation, distillation and crystallization, as well as all petroleum refining processes. Xytel has led breakthroughs and compiled an impressive list of "firsts." We have designed systems that involve virtually every known unit operation, and we continue to advance with disciplines that are currently evolving.

Xytel ships over half its Pilot Plants outside the United States. And Xytel India, a joint venture of Xytel Corporation USA and Kvaerner Powergas Ltd. of India, adds complementary state-of-the-art expertise in Southeast Asia. The combined knowledge and experience represented by Xytel and Xytel India allows you to focus your creative energy on using your pilot plant rather than on building it.

Xytel is owned by Enprotech, which in turn is owned by Itochu, the world's third largest corporation. Enprotech provides heavy-hitting financial support to Xytel and its other US subsidiaries helping us to reach our goals of growth and market leadership. There are more than 1,000 subsidiaries and affiliated companies worldwide under the Itochu umbrella. With the backing and the business experience of a major international power, Xytel can clearly see the path forward to new levels.
