ALL NEW FOULING-IMMUNE MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGY FOR
Meat & Poultry
Forget everything you know about membranes in the meat and poultry industry. With ZwitterCo, plants can reduce or eliminate the use of DAFs while meeting discharge limits, clean 95% or more water for reuse, enjoy purified RO filtration and even reduce costs for functional protein concentration.
ZwitterCo Membrane Filtration Results:
Left: Raw Wastewater
Middle: Permeate
Right: Reject/Concentrate
Edison Award
ZwitterCo superfiltration membranes received a Bronze award for innovation in the Water Treatment & Testing category at the 2024 Edison Awards.
This award highlights their impact on the meat and poultry industry, enabling > 99% removal of FOG and TSS.

What Challenges Can ZwitterCo Technology Solve For You?
Downstream Processing
ZwitterCo membranes offer unprecedented fouling resistance, intrinsic pore uniformity, and permeance recovery. This results in higher product yield, increased throughput, longer uptime, and lower CIP costs.
Wastewater Treatment
With ZwitterCo SF membranes, you can achieve full performance recovery with fast and easy cleaning. This extends the membrane lifespan, reducing replacement frequency and overall costs.
SOLUTION #1

Run Longer Before Cleanings
ZwitterCo membranes operate at a more stable flux than conventional membranes, resulting in a higher average flux, allowing you to benefit from greater productivity and longer runs before cleaning.
This allows for more product from existing equipment, increasing overall productivity.
Easier & Less Frequent Cleanings
Whenever a cleaning is performed, valuable product is lost as it is flushed out of the system rather than recovered. But there is another option.
With ZwitterCo membranes, you achieve:
- Longer production runs
- Less frequent cleanings
- Higher product yield
- Full permeance recovery
Lower OPEX
ZwitterCo superfiltration membranes are immune to irreversible fouling, allowing for longer membrane life and less frequent membrane replacements – lowering overall OPEX.
ZwitterCo membranes also offer intrinsic pore uniformity and permeance recovery which results in:
- Higher product yield
- Increased throughput
- Longer uptime
- Lower CIP costs
This saves water and energy, allowing bioprocessors to develop more cost-effective and sustainable processes.
Easy Integration
ZwitterCo spiral membrane elements are designed to be drop-in replacements requiring no additional CAPEX. This seamless integration not only simplifies the upgrade process but also paves the way for future plant expansions and system scalability.
By choosing ZwitterCo, you can:
- Enhance your operations
- Increase capacity without disruptions to existing infrastructure
- Ensure smooth, uninterrupted growth

SOLUTION #2
Advanced Wastewater Treatment
Reduce Freshwater Demand
ZwitterCo membranes enable water reuse to expand production without needing to access additional freshwater sources – maximizing the fermentation output of existing water supplies.
Ideal Pretreatment for RO
ZwitterCo membranes enhance downstream processing by increasing yields and throughput with exceptional fouling resistance, leading to sustainable bioprocessing with reduced water and energy use.
Transform Waste from Cost to Benefit
ZwitterCo membranes are beneficial for co-product creation and lost product capture during the wastewater treatment process, turning waste solids into potential revenue.
Reduce Volume of Wastewater Treated
Enhanced co-product capture enabled by ZwitterCo membranes, in combination with treating wastewater for reuse and reduced chemical use for cleanings, reduces freshwater demand and significantly decreases the total amount of waste generated by the bioprocessing plant.
“Our process would not be profitable or possible without ZwitterCo membranes.”
