What Challenges Can ZwitterCo Solve for You?
Downstream Processing
Evolution membranes offer unprecedented anti-fouling properties, intrinsic pore uniformity, and fast and easy permeance recovery. This results in higher product yield, increased throughput, longer uptime, and lower cleaning program costs.
Wastewater Treatment
With ZwitterCo membranes, you can transform waste from cost to benefit by capturing lost product during the wastewater treatment process. Learn more about our wastewater solutions to enable co-product capture and reduce freshwater demand by clicking below.
Downstream processing
Easier and less frequent cleanings.
Whenever a cleaning is performed, valuable product is lost as it is cleaned off the surface of the membranes and flushed out of the system with the cleaning program waste rather than recovered. But there is another option.
With ZwitterCo membranes, you achieve:
- Longer production runs
- Less frequent cleanings
- Higher product yield
- Full permeance recovery
- Lower OPEX
Increase plant efficiency.
ZwitterCo membranes operate at a more stable flux than conventional membranes, resulting in a higher average flux, allowing you to benefit from greater productivity and throughput and longer runs before cleaning.
This allows for producing more product from existing equipment, increasing overall plant efficiency.
“Our process would not be profitable or possible without ZwitterCo membranes.”

Multiple Opportunities
in Downstream
Processing
From proteins, amino acids, enzymes, and final products, Evolution membranes can help in a variety of ways.
Lower OPEX.
ZwitterCo Evolution membranes are extremely anti-fouling, allowing for longer membrane life and less-frequent membrane replacements – lowering overall OPEX.
ZwitterCo membranes also offer intrinsic pore uniformity and permeance recovery which results in:
- Higher product yield
- Increased throughput
- Longer uptime
- Lower CIP costs
This saves water and energy, allowing bioprocessors to develop more cost-effective and sustainable processes.
Easy integration.
Evolution sanitary membrane elements are designed to be one-for-one substitutes for conventional full-fit membranes, therefore requiring no additional CAPEX. This seamless integration not only simplifies the upgrade process but also paves the way for future plant expansions and system scalability.
