What Happens When You Eliminate the Enzyme Step?
In many membrane systems, the enzyme wash is treated as non-negotiable. It is often the longest step in a cleaning program and typically the most expensive from a chemical standpoint. It is also one…
The Economics of Membrane Selection in Dairy Processing
Membrane selection in dairy and food processing is often treated as a specification decision – pore size, material, and supplier. In practice, it is a financial decision that plays out every day on…
What Does “Productivity” Actually Mean in Dairy Processing?
“Productivity” gets used constantly in dairy processing conversations, but it rarely means just one thing. Ask a production manager, and the answer usually goes beyond simple throughput. Output…

Preparing for NOM-001-SEMARNAT-2021 Compliance
For many industrial facilities in Mexico, wastewater treatment has historically been designed around compliance with discharge requirements established decades ago. That landscape is changing. The…
South Africa's Food and Beverage Industry Is Facing a New Water Reality
South Africa's food and beverage manufacturers are operating in an environment where water management is becoming a strategic business issue rather than a routine utility function. Across the…
California Water Regulations Are Changing Food & Beverage Wastewater Treatment
For decades, many California food and beverage facilities operated with a simple assumption: if production expanded, water supply could expand with it. That assumption is becoming increasingly…
ZwitterCo Unfiltered Recap | Ep 6: MTF 2026 Takeaways - Protein Recovery, Acid Whey, and Membrane Innovation
In Episode 6 of ZwitterCo Unfiltered, Jon Goodman and Scott Brown recap their biggest takeaways from the Membrane Technology Forum (MTF) in Minneapolis, discussing the conversations shaping today's…
Why Conventional UF + RO Systems Struggle in Beverage Wastewater Reuse
Water reuse has become a strategic priority for beverage manufacturers and breweries. Facilities across California, Mexico, and other water-stressed regions are looking for ways to reduce freshwater…
What’s Really Inside Dairy Protein – And How Processing Impacts It
Dairy protein is often discussed in terms of concentration – whey protein concentrate (WPC), whey protein isolate (WPI), milk protein concentrate (MPC). But concentration alone doesn’t define value.…
Rethinking RO Pretreatment in European F&B Wastewater: A Superfiltration Approach
In European food and beverage wastewater systems, reverse osmosis (RO) performance is rarely limited by the membrane itself. It is limited by the quality and stability of the feed delivered to it.…
Landfill Leachate Regulations in Italy and Spain & What They Mean for Treatment Design
Landfill leachate sits at the intersection of waste management and water regulation. It is one of the most complex industrial wastewaters to treat, with high concentrations of both organic and…
Why Membrane Cleaning Programs Are Longer Than You Think
Most membrane systems are described as having a “four-step” cleaning program. On paper, that usually includes an alkaline wash, an enzyme wash, an acid wash, and a sanitization step. That…
ZwitterCo Unfiltered Recap | Ep 5: Membrane Chemistry Explained
In Episode 5 of ZwitterCo Unfiltered, Jon Goodman and Lyndsey Pence take a deeper look at membrane chemistry, membrane structure, and how different membrane types are manufactured and used across…
ZwitterCo at IFAT Munich 2026: A Recap
In its 60th anniversary year, IFAT Munich 2026 brought together around 3,400 exhibitors and approximately 142,000 visitors from across the global environmental technology industry. Since 1966, IFAT…
Dairy vs. Plant Proteins – The Processing Reality Behind Both
Discussions around dairy and plant proteins usually stay focused on the end product. Inside the plant, the constraints look very different. Both dairy and plant protein systems are defined by…
Improving RO Reliability in Mobile Water Treatment
Mobile water treatment providers operate under a different set of constraints than fixed facilities. Systems must be deployed quickly, perform reliably across changing feed conditions, and meet…
How ZwitterCo Evolution PCM Membranes Improve Sustainability in Soy Protein Processing
Soy protein processing continues to scale as demand for plant-based ingredients grows. As production increases, processors are placing greater emphasis on reducing water usage, lowering chemical…
Rising Water Stress in LATAM Food & Beverage: Why Processors Are Re-Evaluating Wastewater Strategies
Food and beverage producers across Latin America are operating under a different set of water constraints than they were even a few years ago. In regions like Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Mexico, water…
