These membranes are FDA compliant for use in whey processing, including the production of products such as whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate.
To date, 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. The company is now pursuing dairy and food processing with this new sanitary product line.
"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."
