Food Waste Digestate Solutions

What Challenges Can ZwitterCo Technology Solve For You?

Ensure ContinuousOperations

Fouling-immune ZwitterCo SF membranes ensure stable and efficient digestate treatment, reducing the risk of unplanned downtime to support the delivery of new feedstocks.

EnhanceWater Recovery

ZwitterCo SF membranes when used as pretreatment for RO efficiently filter digestate, boosting water recovery rates (60-90%) and significantly cutting down the volume of digestate needing storage.

ReduceFootprint

Direct filtration with ZwitterCo SF eliminates the need for large aeration tanks and the high OPEX associated with biological solutions.

Minimize Hauling& Costs

Filtration solutions using our superfiltration membranes cut food waste digestate volumes by up to 50-70%, directly reducing the volume and cost of hauling.

SOLUTION #1

Ensure Continuous Operations

In digestate applications, managing nutrient-rich water discharge requires strict regulatory compliance. Meeting discharge requirements, including NPDES regulations, can be challenging due to the presence of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) and frequent cleaning demands.

ZwitterCo membrane technology simplifies this process by:

  • Effectively removing FOG
  • Reducing cleaning frequency

This streamlines the path to regulatory compliance—saving both time and operational costs.

SOLUTION #2

Enhance Water Recovery

By efficiently filtering digestate, ZwitterCo SF membranes – when used as pretreatment for RO – facilitate water recovery rates ranging from 60-90%.

This enables water reuse internally and significantly reduces the volume of digestate requiring storage, lowering costs and environmental harm.

Water reuse, like landscape irrigation or other nearby demand centers, helps offset freshwater consumption to better preserve local water resources.

SOLUTION #3

Reduce Footprint

Direct filtration with ZwitterCo SF membranes offer a footprint friendly solution for operations tight on space.​

These systems can be entirely fabricated offsite, reducing CAPEX and long onsite construction, and simplifying permitting for new urban biogas projects.

  • High packing density
  • No large aeration tanks 
  • Modular design to easily support expansions

WATER PURIFICATION

ZwitterCo Reverse Osmosis

ZwitterCo has integrated our patented zwitterionic technology with proven commercial brackish water membranes to deliver a drop-in replacement RO membrane with unprecedented fouling resistance.

ZwitterCo RO after MBR, tubular membranes, or to replace existing RO offers:

  • Up to 90% reduced cleaning frequency
  • 2x element life due to easier and quicker cleaning
  • Effective concentration of essential nutrients for recovery and reuse

SOLUTION #4

Minimize Hauling & Costs

ZwitterCo superfiltration membranes assist in efficiently separating water from digestate, significantly reducing its volume.

This concentration process minimizes the amount of material that needs to be hauled off-site, leading to lower transportation costs and fewer hauling trips.  

Additionally, the recovered water can be reused within the operation, further enhancing sustainability and cost-efficiency.  

Save on Hauling

Fully integrated solutions featuring SF membranes have shown to reduce digestate hauling by 50-70%
