Fouling-Immune Membrane Technology that Maximizes Production and Reduces Cleaning.
ZwitterCo’s advanced membrane technology fully recovers with simpler and easier cleaning programs with fewer steps, allowing for reduced chemicals use, less freshwater demand, less energy, and minimized wastewater generation. This not only lowers operating costs but also aligns with sustainability goals.
Whether it’s improving your whey or milk protein operations, standardizing ingredients, or concentrating wastewater streams, ZwitterCo membranes provide unmatched performance and a lower cost of ownership.
Dairy Processing Applications
What Challenges Can ZwitterCo Technology Solve For You?
Whey & Milk Protein Concentration
ZwitterCo membranes cut CIP programs down by up to 6 steps, including flushes, helping processors reduce their cleaning costs by over 50%. Reduce chemical cleaners, freshwater demand, wastewater generated, and energy consumption to save time and money.
ProductConcentration
Concentrate whey and other products using ZwitterCo membranes to fully recover performance with a faster, lower cost cleaning program. Save about an hour for every cleaning step eliminated by simply replacing membranes with no capital investment required.
WastewaterConcentrators
With ZwitterCo RO, lower your hauling costs with more productive wastewater concentrators that enable lower cleaning costs by eliminating the daily enzyme step.
Whey & Milk Protein Concentration

Reduce Your Cleaning
Costs by 50%
With ZwitterCo membranes, your cleaning programs are easier and shorter, enabling more uptime and increased production.
With easier cleanings and less chemicals, plants enjoy significantly reduced time and labor required for maintenance.
Simplified
& Sustainable Operations
ZwitterCo membranes simplify cleaning processes and require fewer chemicals, while also reducing freshwater demand, energy consumption, and amount of WW generated.
Our membranes will help you meet your corporate sustainability targets, due to:
- Reduced pumping
- Less water
- Less heating of CIP solutions
- Decreased chemical usage
- Reduced energy requirements


Improve Your OPEX
Reduced Operating Costs
With lower cleaning costs, decreased water usage, less wastewater generated, and lower energy requirements, ZwitterCo membranes offer a significant decrease in OPEX.
Increase in Uptime
ZwitterCo membranes offer more up-time due to shorter cleaning programs which frees operators to work on other priorities.
Reduced Freshwater Demand
In whey protein concentration applications, ZwitterCo membranes significantly reduce freshwater demand through their simplified cleaning process.

Product Concentration

Simplify Cleanings / Reduce Chemical Usage
ZwitterCo advanced zwitterionic membranes offer easier, quicker cleaning that requires less chemicals, aligning with sustainability goals and cutting operational expenses for dairy processing companies.
Reduce OPEX
As a risk-free drop-in replacement, ZwitterCo membranes offer a decrease in OPEX and downtime without any additional CAPEX.
Overall costs are lowered due to the following:
- Less water usage
- Less wastewater generated
- Decreased energy requirements
- Lower cleaning/chemical costs


Meet Sustainability Goals & Reduce Freshwater Demand
Reduction in Freshwater Demand
Whether recovering water from wastewater or reducing water requirements through a simplified cleaning program, ZwitterCo membranes enable a reduction in freshwater demand.
Meet Sustainability Goals with No Additional CAPEX
By reducing chemical usage and decreasing freshwater demand, ZwitterCo membranes support more sustainable water treatment practices, helping dairy processors meet environmental regulations and sustainability goals.

Wastewater Concentrators

Reduce Costly Wastewater Hauling
Integrating ZwitterCo RO membranes can reduce wastewater hauling volumes by 50% or more, lowering overall costs and increasing the sustainability of operations.
Reduce Operating Expenses
ZwitterCo RO membranes offer easy cleaning with full performance recovery after each wash, less chemical use, and less downtime, which all adds up to lower overall costs.

Removing the daily enzyme cleaning step cuts chemical costs by about 50% and saves about an hour of cleaning time, enabling more uptime or allowing operators to focus on other tasks.


Reduce
Footprint
Membrane processes are some of the most space-saving and footprint-flexible unit operations. ZwitterCo RO membranes offer wastewater concentration with a compact footprint.

What Would You Do With More Time?
Think about it – every step of your daily cleaning program takes about an hour. Each step uses chemicals and make-up water, creates wastewater to treat, and requires energy for heating, pumping, and recirculating the cleaning solution.
What if you could eliminate one or more steps?
ZwitterCo’s process RO elements are here to help you increase your bottom line.
