The Innovation

Zwitterionic materials

A breakthrough in membrane chemistry

Watch Full Video

Zwitterions represent the most significant innovation in membrane materials in over 40 years.

These molecules are key to overcoming organic fouling one of the longest-standing limitations of traditional membranes.

Applied Zwitterionic Technology #1

Zwitterionic chemistry bonded to existing membranes. ZwitterShield™ enhances familiar membrane technology for the highest organics tolerance without requiring any changes to existing equipment or operating principles

With ZwitterShield™, Membrane users with known or expected organic fouling challenges will experience:

  • Reduced membrane operating costs
  • Highest permissible limits for TOC, COD, O&G, & color
  • Shorter or less frequent membrane cleaning programs
  • Ability to use generic, inexpensive cleaning chemicals

Applied Zwitterionic Technology #2

Fundamentally new membranes where the zwitterionic layer performs the entire separation. ZwitterCore™ delivers powerful and unique performance that can unlock new wastewater or process solutions

With ZwitterCore™, Operators with aggressive fouling challenges or that are looking to install filtration for the first time will experience:

  • Water reuse, regulatory compliance, or product concentration goals
  • Membranes that handle up to 5% fats, oils, grease, and other organics
  • Compatibility with chlorine to maximize speed, flexibility, and cost-efficiency during cleaning
  • Ultra-high recovery solutions like Minimum or Zero Liquid Discharge (MLD, ZLD)
