ZwitterCo's wastewater treatment technology employs nano filtration membranes to transform industrial wastewater into pure water. The nano membrane is a creation of the startup based in the United States, and this invention stems from award-winning research in a competition at Tufts University. This technology utilizes nano filtration membranes that resemble enlarged sea sponges; on the surface of these membranes, there are pore openings capable of extracting moisture from the air and functioning like a vacuum pump, pulling water molecules away from oil and impurities in the wastewater.

On this occasion, the National Startup Support Center signed cooperation agreements with units to promote the commercialization of technology projects in Vietnam.
