What Zeotech does
Zeotech AB is a privately held Swedish industrial air purification company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Arlöv, where it operates its own manufacturing facility. It designs, engineers, produces, installs, and services zeolite-based air purification systems for industrial customers, with a portfolio spanning a zeolite rotor system, three fixed-bed variants (for VOCs, heavier hydrocarbons, and VOC condensation/recycling), an ozone catalyst, and direct catalytic incineration for very high-concentration streams. Core applications are VOC and hydrocarbon removal from painting, coating, packaging printing, polymer/plastics extrusion, rubber/vulcanization, pharma/chemical, and automotive component processes.
The commercial model is sales-led and direct-to-enterprise: Zeotech conducts site emissions mapping, custom-engineers a system to the customer's profile, manufactures at the Arlöv facility, installs and commissions it, and then retains the relationship via annual service visits and remote monitoring (fjärruppkoppling). Pricing is custom-quoted; systems are positioned at higher upfront cost but with lower ongoing operating expense than activated-carbon or RTO/RCO alternatives, typically delivering a 2–3 year ROI and a 25+ year operational lifespan. An independent rotor optimization service extends the addressable market to competitor-installed systems.
Customers include Volvo, Tetra Pak, Trelleborg, Stora Enso, SSAB, Sherwin Williams, Becker Industrial Coating, Plastic Omnium, Metso, Xylem, Fresenius Kabi, BE Group, Q Pharma, Trioworld, and Scandiflex, spanning automotive, packaging, steel, paints, pharmaceuticals, water solutions, and industrial manufacturing. The company is founder-controlled under Johan Hultén, with Jesper Lindvall as CTO/Partner, André Olsson and Robert Olsson as partners, and additional service/manufacturing staff. Note: an unrelated Australian listed entity 'Zeotech Limited', focused on mineral processing rather than air purification, shares the name but is a separate organization and is not the subject of this analysis.

Zeotech product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Zeotech designs, manufactures, and services zeolite-based industrial air purification systems for industrial facilities. Its portfolio includes zeolite rotor systems, fixed zeolite beds, ozone catalysts, and direct catalytic incineration units that adsorb and concentrate volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrocarbons, and ozone from process air for low-cost catalytic destruction or solvent recovery. The company delivers end-to-end solutions — from emission mapping and custom engineering through in-house manufacturing in Arlöv, Sweden, to installation and recurring service agreements.
Product overview
Zeotech is a Swedish industrial air purification company with over 30 years of experience offering zeolite-based air cleaning systems for industrial applications. The product portfolio consists of four core product lines: (1) Zeolitrotor - an adaptive rotor system for printing and painting processes; (2) Fixed Zeolite Beds - available in three variants for VOCs, heavier hydrocarbons, and condensation/recycling applications; (3) Ozone Catalyst - for eliminating industrial ozone; and (4) Direct Incineration - for high-concentration VOC streams. Additionally, they offer Independent VOC Rotor Optimization services and Emission Mapping consulting. The systems maintain over 99% availability with lifespans exceeding 25 years, and are manufactured at their facility in Arlöv, Sweden.

Products and services
- Zeolitrotor (Zeolite Rotor) Adaptive zeolite rotor system paired with catalytic incineration for industrial air purification. The rotor uses a zeolite-impregnated fiberglass matrix that continuously adsorbs VOCs, concentrates them 10-25x through regeneration, and feeds the concentrated stream into cost-effective catalytic combustion, with surplus heat reusable for facility heating or drying processes.
- Fixed Zeolite Bed for VOCs (Fast bädd med zeolit för lösningsmedel) Fixed zeolite bed system for VOC purification in coating and rubber industries, using a two-step process where VOCs are adsorbed onto zeolite until saturation and then thermally released in concentrated form for catalytic incineration.
- Fixed Zeolite Bed for Heavy Hydrocarbons (Fast bädd för tyngre kolväten) Fixed zeolite bed system engineered to purify heavy hydrocarbons such as plastic smoke, styrene, and vulcanization fumes, leveraging zeolite's high temperature resistance to enable complete regeneration at the elevated temperatures these substances require.
- Fixed Zeolite Bed with Condensation (Fast bädd med utkondensering) Fixed zeolite bed system combined with condensation that captures VOCs, regenerates them in concentrated form, and condenses them into liquid for resale or reuse in production. Operates in oxygen-free regeneration for safe handling of chlorinated hydrocarbons and high-value solvents in chemical and pharmaceutical applications.
- Ozone Catalyst (Ozonkatalysator) Catalyst system that converts ozone (O3) into oxygen (O2) for industries using corona treatment or food packaging pre-treatment, eliminating ozone emissions at low operational cost with long catalyst lifespan.
- Direct Catalytic Incineration (Direktförbränning) Single-step catalytic recuperative incineration system for direct combustion of VOCs above 6-7g/Nm3 concentration without a pre-concentration step, achieving near 100% purification with a maximum 30-minute startup time.
- Independent VOC Rotor Optimization (Oberoende optimering) Independent service offering that optimizes, tunes, mechanically inspects, and replaces existing VOC rotor systems from any manufacturer, including preventive maintenance, status control with action plans, and performance verification to extend service life and reduce energy consumption.
- Emission Mapping (Kartläggning) Consulting service measuring concentration and airflow of customer emissions to determine the optimal purification technology and provide a tailored, cost-effective system quote.
