Dairy and food processors face continuous pressure to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and meet ambitious sustainability targets. ZwitterCo’s Evolution sanitary membranes provide the breakthrough solution processors have been waiting for—delivering unparalleled performance with simplified, lower-cost cleaning processes.
Harnessing groundbreaking zwitterionic technology, Evolution membranes are extremely hydrophilic and uniquely resistant to irreversible organic fouling from streams with high fat and protein content. This anti-fouling performance translates directly into fewer cleaning steps, dramatically reduced cleaning costs, and increased production uptime.
More Time for Operations
Evolution membranes streamline cleaning programs, significantly reducing cleaning program time while ensuring complete performance recovery. This operational simplicity frees up valuable operator time, enabling teams to focus on other critical production priorities.
Save Money on Cleaning
Evolution membranes have been shown to be able to eliminate the costly enzyme step typically required in cleaning programs, reducing chemical expenses by over 50%. Dairy and whey processors using Evolution membranes commonly see at least a 30% reduction in water usage associated with cleaning and reclaim an hour or more of operational time per day.
Sustainable Operations
By minimizing the need for water, chemicals, and energy during cleaning cycles, Evolution membranes support more sustainable operations. These improvements not only lower operational costs but significantly reduce wastewater generation, helping processors achieve lower carbon intensity and meet stringent sustainability benchmarks.
Simple Integration, Immediate Results
Engineered as direct replacements for industry-standard membrane products, Evolution membranes require no additional capital investment or modifications to existing systems. Their simplified cleaning protocols ensure immediate operational and financial improvements.
A Complete Suite of Solutions
ZwitterCo’s Evolution family includes Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes ideal for effluent concentration and wastewater treatment; Superfiltration (SF) membranes specifically designed for high-fat, high-solids applications such as whey and milk processing; and Protein Concentration Membranes (PCM), which can directly replace conventional ultrafiltration membranes used in precise protein concentration processes.
Flexible Implementation Models
Evolution membranes are available for purchase or via an innovative subscription model that includes a process guarantee, replacement coverage, and predictable monthly operating fees—offering processors flexibility to choose the best model for their financial planning.
These membranes represent an evolutionary advancement in membrane technology, enabling dairy and food processors to achieve greater efficiency, reduced operational costs, and significant progress towards their sustainability goals. Evolve your process today with the industry’s leading anti-fouling membrane technology.
