ZwitterCo, Inc. performed a two-year study on the use of its superfiltration membrane products for the treatment of produced water from the Permian Basin, including pilot testing using actual produced water samples. The results showed a highly competitive techno-economic analysis compared to existing produced water treatment options and show a path towards beneficial reuse of produced water.
