ZwitterCo announced the availability of a new product line of sanitary superfiltration (SF) spiral membrane elements featuring its second-generation SF technology. These membranes are FDA-compliant for whey processing, including producing products such as whey protein concentrate (WPC) and whey protein isolate (WPI).
ZwitterCo, a leader in developing and commercializing organic fouling-immune membrane technology based on the extreme hydrophilicity of zwitterions, has focused primarily on high-strength water and wastewater treatment to date. With this new sanitary product line, the company is now pursuing dairy and food processing.
“ZwitterCo’s anti-fouling membranes enable dairy processors to fully recover performance with a shorter, faster cleaning program that reduces chemicals, water, and energy requirements and saves time and money,” said Jon Goodman, ZwitterCo’s Vice President for Food Processing & Specialties. “ZwitterCo is developing anti-fouling membranes that are the next evolution of membrane technology for food and dairy processors.“
