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.

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.​

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.

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.
