Dairy Processing Applications
What challenges can ZwitterCo Evolution membranes solve for you?
Whey & Milk Protein Concentration
Evolution anti-fouling membranes minimize gel layer formation at the membrane surface, leading to increased productivity and cleaning programs with up to six steps removed, including flushes.
Product Concentration
Concentrate skim milk, whey, and other products using Evolution membranes that increase productivity through shorter, faster cleanings and a higher sustainable average flux. Eliminate cleaning program steps and save one hour per day for each cleaning step eliminated.
Effluent Polishing
Evolution RO membranes lead to more productive effluent polishing systems that save time and money by simplifying cleaning programs, including eliminating the costly enzyme cleaning step.
whey & milk protein concentration
Reduce your cleaning costs by 50%.
With Evolution membranes, your cleaning programs are easier and shorter, enabling more uptime for operators to focus on other important tasks. With easier cleanings and less chemicals, plants enjoy significantly reduced time and labor required for maintenance.
Minimize gel layer formation, maximize productivity.
Evolution membranes feature the highest resistance to organic fouling, which reduces gel layer formation at the membrane surface and leads to higher sustainable average flux. This leads to more output, more uptime, more time for maintenance, and protection against equipment failure for dairy processors.
Simplified & sustainable operations.
Evolution membranes simplify cleaning programs and require fewer chemicals, while also reducing freshwater demand, energy consumption, and amount of wastewater generated.
- Reduced pumping
- Less water
- Less heating of CIP solutions
- Decreased chemical usage
- Reduced energy requirements
Improve your OPEX.
In whey protein concentration applications, Evolution membranes significantly reduce freshwater demand through their simplified cleaning process.
Reduced Operating Costs
With lower cleaning costs, decreased water usage, less wastewater generated, and lower energy requirements, Evolution membranes offer a significant decrease in OPEX.
Increase in Uptime
Evolution membranes offer more uptime due to shorter cleaning programs, freeing operators to work on other priorities.
Product Concentration
Simplify cleanings & reduce chemical usage.
Evolution membranes offer easier and quicker cleaning programs that require fewer chemicals, aligning with sustainability goals and cutting operational expenses for dairy processing companies.
Review our on-demand webinar to learn more about increased productivity with Evolution membranes.
Achieve a higher average flux.
Evolution membranes contribute to increased productivity by simplifying cleaning programs and achieving a higher sustainable average flux, which has been observed in multiple tests.
Because the anti-fouling nature of the membranes minimizes foulant build-up at the membrane surface, operators can experience a higher membrane flux.
Meet sustainability goals.
Evolution membranes help dairy processors meet sustainability targets thanks to the benefits provided by a shorter and simpler cleaning program. These benefits include:
- Less freshwater demand
- Decreased energy requirements
- Reduction in chemical usage
- Less wastewater generation

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?
Effluent Polishing
Eliminate the costly enzyme cleaning step.
Integrating Evolution RO membranes is proven to eliminate the use of enzymes, which is the most expensive step in a cleaning program. This cuts chemical costs by over 50% and saves about an hour of cleaning time.
Decrease freshwater consumption.
By eliminating cleaning steps and associated flushing steps, Evolution RO membranes reduce freshwater demand for dairy processors. Users can reduce freshwater consumption for cleaning by 40% or more by switching to Evolution RO.
A Midwestern US whey processor saved over 1,000,000 gallons (3785 m3) over 10.5 months of operation by switching to Evolution RO.
Save time and money.
Evolution RO membranes increase productivity in effluent polishing systems by creating a higher sustainable average flux and simplifying cleaning programs.
Dairy processors can reduce overall cleaning costs by more than 50% and give valuable time back to operators to focus on production with these revolutionary anti-fouling membranes.
