What Xenon does

Xenon, Inc. is a privately held engineering, integration, and field services firm headquartered in Irvine, California, that delivers turnkey automation, electrical, and analyzer solutions to the petrochemical industry and adjacent industrial clients. Founded in 2006 and tracing operating lineage to Stammen & Associates (acquired 2014, serving California since 1985), the company has built an installed base of products and applications across U.S. states — California, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada — and internationally in Wales (UK) and Quebec (Canada). Its named customer base is concentrated in oil and gas refining (Chevron, BP, ExxonMobil, Phillips 66, Valero) and engineering and construction (Jacobs, Worley Parsons), with additional reach into equipment manufacturers and OEMs via skid/RTU/SCADA integrations.

Xenon's technology portfolio centers on industrial automation, instrumentation, and process analytics: programmable logic controllers (PLCs), Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS), and cellular-based wireless industrial networks. Proprietary products include the Atom Data Acquisition System (redesigned 2017 for EPA and AQMD emissions compliance), the T925 Wireless Cellular Controller for remote monitoring, the U.S. Patent 9,228,865-protected Analyzer Validation System for RVP and process-sample validation, the Xenon Safety Controller (Class I Division II compliant, expandable to 128 sensors), the XE924 Multiplexer, the Mini Liquid Recovery System, integrated CEMS shelters, and the Gasoline Blending Optimization System controlled by Triconex. The firm operates a Southern California UL-certified panel shop (UL 508A, 698A, 1203) with CSA, ISO 9001, NEC, and ATEX compliance, enabling hazardous-location fabrication.

The business model combines project-based professional services — consulting, front-end and detailed engineering, systems integration, PLC programming, and field services — with one-time sales of proprietary engineered products. Xenon pursues a sales-led, direct go-to-market approach targeting enterprise petrochemical refiners and industrial OEMs, with no third-party resellers identified. Strategic technology alliances (ABB, Phoenix Contact as System Integrator Partner, Rockwell Automation, Triconex) and implementation partnerships (MMR Group, Rosemount) extend delivery capacity across the West Coast and Gulf Coast U.S. markets, while direct sales channels anchor regional execution.
