ZwitterCo Introduces Evolution Membranes for Enhanced Food Processing

ZwitterCo, a global leader in membrane solutions for complex liquid separations, has recently commercialized its innovative Evolution Membranes. These state-of-the-art membranes aim to bolster productivity, reduce cleaning costs, and promote sustainability in the food, dairy, and biotechnology sectors, all while seamlessly integrating into existing systems without requiring modifications.

In the fast-paced world of food processing, every second counts. The often lengthy cleaning procedures can consume precious production time and significantly escalate chemical and water usage. The Evolution Membranes, made from ZwitterCo's patented zwitterionic chemistry, are engineered to be fouling-resistant and to restore full performance with a simplified cleaning protocol. This allows processors to clean more swiftly, utilize fewer chemicals, and reclaim more than an hour of production time each day for additional high-value tasks.

Jon Goodman, Vice President of Food Processing and Specialties at ZwitterCo, states, “When processors ask, ‘What’s new?’ The Evolution Membranes are the answer. Our patented fouling-resistant membranes offer a significant leap in cleaning efficiency and performance, demonstrating that membrane technology continues to evolve.”

Effortless Integration with Proven Results

The Evolution Membranes are available in multiple configurations for ultrafiltration, super filtration, and reverse osmosis, making them an ideal replacement for traditional sanitary spiral membranes. They can be easily installed into existing hardware without significant operational changes, leading to reduced operational costs and time savings.

Early adopters of ZwitterCo's Evolution RO membranes in whey processing plants have reported substantial improvements in concentrating effluents and wastewater. These processors managed to eliminate enzymatic steps in their cleaning programs, resulting in over a 50% reduction in cleaning costs and a more than 30% decrease in water consumption. Moreover, the time saved per eliminated clean-up step translates to hundreds of additional operating hours.

Setting New Standards for Operational Efficiency and Sustainability

ZwitterCo's evolution membranes are meticulously designed to provide dairy and food manufacturers with increased productivity, which is paramount to their success. The essence of this offering lies in ZwitterCo's fouling-resistant technology, which fundamentally transforms cleaning operations and stabilizes flow rates. The Evolution Membranes facilitate quicker, easier cleaning processes that require fewer resources.

With less fouling, the Evolution membranes also yield an average higher operational flow, leading to:

• - Increased productivity through a stable flow curve.
• - More production time, as fewer cleaning cycles free up additional operating hours each week.
• - Reduced cleaning costs, as the membranes can eliminate expensive cleaning steps while significantly lessening chemical, water, and energy consumption and minimizing wastewater generation.
• - More sustainable operations, contributing to corporate sustainability goals through lower resource usage and reduced wastewater output.
• - Easy integration, as every Evolution element is a direct replacement for standard sanitary spirals, negating the need for capital investments.

Flexible Adoption Models

ZwitterCo's Evolution Membranes cater to a wide array of concentration and fractionation applications in food, dairy, bioprocessing, and beyond, offering leading industry efficiency. To support seamless adaptation and minimize risks associated with new membrane implementations, ZwitterCo provides two tailored sales models:
