Maximize Sustainability
Enable water reuse, reduce water footprint, secure future water availability, and reduce utility costs.
Generate New Revenue Streams
Concentrated organic material can be repurposed as high-protein feedstocks or other co-products.
Eliminate Air Permitting Challenges
Organic material can be concentrated without being biologically converted into gaseous emissions.
Maximize Space Efficiency
A modular filtration system helps minimize footprint requirements, allowing room for plant expansion.
ZwitterCo Superfiltration Membrane Spec Sheets
ZwitterCo Superfiltration
A Paradigm Shift in Membranes
Superfiltration membranes are a new separation class between ultrafiltration and nanofiltration. ZwitterCo superfiltration membranes deliver unprecedented fouling resistance, low energy requirements, wide pH tolerance, and the ability to be cleaned with chlorine.
Superfiltration membranes are designed for fractionating dissolved components, like capturing protein while passing inorganic molecules. Our membranes are engineered tightly enough to remove fats, oils, grease (FOG), and high-strength organics, providing ideal pre-treatment for reverse osmosis in wastewater.

The Complexity of Bioprocessing
Bioprocessing is the practice of manufacturing novel products and materials – such as biofuels, textiles, alternative meats, specialty chemicals, and more – from a biological source, often by fermenting specially tailored microbes.
The extraction of bio-manufactured compounds frequently requires complex, multi-step processes. Not only can these processes be expensive, but the resulting media losses and waste streams also can account for a substantial portion of the total manufacturing costs.
High Concentration,High Productivity
ZwitterCo’s membranes enhance downstream processing by increasing yields and throughput with exceptional fouling resistance, leading to sustainable bioprocessing with reduced water and energy use.

This graph shows a side-by-side comparison of a ZwitterCo membrane with a competitor’s NF membrane:
- Peptide purification and concentration from a fermentation stream
- ZwitterCo Z-BioP membrane vs. 600-800 Da Competitor
- ZwitterCo Z-BioP membrane increased product yield by 6% and doubled achievable concentration compared to nanofiltration
