Lower Costs, Less Hassle: How Two Dairy Processors Improved Their Wastewater Treatment
Two whey processing facilities were operating as usual—regular membrane cleaning cycles, chemical costs adding up, and normal membrane replacements due to wear and tear. It was the way things had always been. But when they switched to ZwitterCo’s zwitterionic process RO membranes, they found a simpler, lower-cost way to keep their systems running efficiently—without any CAPEX or system modifications.
After installation, both facilities saw immediate improvements:
✅ Eliminated the most expensive cleaning step, significantly cutting chemical costs
✅ Reduced cleaning time by over an hour per day, freeing up operator resources
✅ Lowered cleaning temperatures, reducing energy use and improving sustainability
By upgrading their membranes, these facilities streamlined their cleaning process, saved on operating costs, and improved system reliability—all without any additional investment in new equipment.
A simpler, more cost-effective way to manage wastewater and protein concentration is possible. Ready to optimize your operations? Let’s talk.
