  • ZwitterCo is on a mission to solve the world's most urgent water challenges. 💧🌎 In our latest video, CEO Alex Rappaport discusses the critical role water plays in the industries driving the transition to a low-carbon economy. However, as we continue to deplete our conventional water resources, these industries face significant challenges in accessing the vast amounts of purified water they need at a low cost. That's where ZwitterCo's breakthrough membrane technologies come in. By leveraging the power of zwitterions, we have developed fouling-resistant membranes that enable the treatment of the most challenging water and wastewaters. Our membranes have the fastest and easiest cleaning of any membrane in history, allowing for long-term operation in environments that would quickly destroy traditional membranes. With the $58.4 million Series B funding we announced this week https://lnkd.in/e_KBQpNU , we'll be able to accelerate the development and deployment of our complete filtration solutions, empowering industry leaders to solve their water and wastewater challenges and build a future of water abundance. We're excited to work together with our customers, investors, and partners to ensure safe, clean, and affordable water for generations to come. Check out the full video below to learn more about the importance of water in industry and how ZwitterCo is revolutionizing water treatment. #ZwitterCo #WaterInnovation #Sustainability #Decarbonization #SeriesB

  • Revolutionizing Grain Processing: A Sustainable Success Story A grain processing facility was facing significant challenges managing a complex wastewater stream filled with variable organics, inorganics, and salts. Their existing evaporators were unable to handle additional loads without affecting the plant’s water balance, and other filtration methods posed high fouling risks. Traditional biological treatments were also inadequate for reducing salts to meet discharge standards. ZwitterCo's innovative membrane technology provided a solution. Our membranes efficiently managed the fluctuations in water quality and were easily integrated into their existing systems. The use of our closed circuit reverse osmosis (CCRO) ensured stable performance and high recovery rates. The Results: 💧 Consistent and compliant permeate quality that enhanced WWTP efficiency and throughput. 💧 Significant reduction in chlorides in the discharge, ensuring environmental compliance. 💧 Enabled continuous plant operation by eliminating dependence on municipal treatment capacities for high-strength wastewater.
