Membranes with the highest resistance to organic fouling.

In the past 40+ years, membrane development has led to only incremental improvements of commodity materials, and so the long-standing limitations on how membranes can be used have remained the status quo. But a new membrane chemistry has arrived, which was designed from inception to achieve unprecedented resistance to organic fouling. ZwitterCo Elevation RO membranes—built with innovative ZwitterShield™ technology— are redefining membrane performance with the highest permissible limits on COD, O&G, and TOC, significantly lower cleaning requirements, and the lowest overall cost of membrane operations.

In this book, you’ll learn:

  • Common Challenges with Conventional RO Membranes
  • Why ZwitterCo Membranes are Different
  • ZwitterCo Membranes in Action
  • Commercial Offering
  • About ZwitterCo

ZwitterCo is not reinventing the wheel - just making it better.

Achieve 50% OPEX savings, reduced operational burdens, and longer membrane life with ZwitterCo Elevation RO membranes.

Case Study: Serpol

“We're thrilled with how things are going. Less chemicals, longer run times, and an easier process for our teams - it's been a win all around.”

In this snippet from our Landfill Leachate Webinar, Alan Edel of Serpol, shares his experience with ZwitterCo membranes. A former landfill in Sytraival, France, traditional RO membranes suffered from rapid organic fouling, requiring daily cleanings and frequent replacements.

After unsuccessful trials with various solutions, ZwitterCo membranes were tested alongside a leading alternative. The results: ZwitterCo maintained stable flux with no decline, while the competitor failed to meet performance targets.
