An industrial facility using MBR-treated wastewater for cooling tower makeup water faced recurring issues with its RO system. The upstream ultrafiltration unit was underperforming, allowing organics to reach the RO membranes and resulting in fouling, frequent cleanings, and inconsistent system performance.
ZwitterCo provided Elevation High Rejection RO membranes designed for waters impacted by organic content, such as MBR effluent. After replacing the existing membranes, the facility saw more stable operation and improved water quality without major changes to the system.
Since the upgrade, the site has realized:
✅ Continuous RO performance with no chemical cleanings
✅ Higher water recovery and lower energy costs
✅ Reduced operating pressure and improved system reliability
With membranes built for organic fouling resilience and backed by hands-on technical support, ZwitterCo is helping industrial users unlock more value from challenging water sources. Explore how we can do the same for you – contact us today.
