One of the most significant challenges in water and wastewater treatment is membrane fouling, particularly caused by organic contaminants like fats, oils, grease, and proteins. These substances adhere to traditional membranes, clogging the pores and significantly reducing filtration efficiency, sort of like coating a coffee filter with oil before brewing coffee, making the filtration slower and less effective.
ZwitterCo's membranes offer a fundamental breakthrough. The zwitterionic copolymers actively attract water while simultaneously repelling organic contaminants. This distinct chemistry dramatically reduces fouling, enabling consistent, high-performance filtration.
