Revolutionary membrane cleaning with Ultrasil™ Connected

Ultrasil™ Connected is Ecolab’s latest innovation in membrane cleaning. It helps dairy processors clean more intelligently and efficiently by combining scientifically developed chemistry with 24/7 digital monitoring and expert insights, delivering consistently high membrane performance.

Ultrasil™ Connected: a new era in membrane cleaning

Membrane technology is essential for producing high-quality dairy ingredients, such as whey protein concentrates and isolates. During production, membranes are continuously exposed to proteins, fats, and minerals. If this fouling is not effectively removed, pores become clogged. This leads to lower flux, reduced productivity, higher costs, and a shorter membrane lifespan.

Ultrasil™ Connected changes the way membrane cleaning is managed. This innovative program combines advanced chemistry, digital insights, and Ecolab’s expertise into one integrated approach for intelligent membrane management. The result: measurable and sustainable performance improvements. More than 48 dairy plants worldwide, with over 196 membrane systems in total, already rely on Ultrasil™ Connected.

Smarter cleaning. Measurable results.

• Optimized productivity
  Shorter CIP times, fewer disruptions, and higher throughput thanks to digitally optimized, precise, and repeatable cleaning processes.
• Full visibility into membrane performance
  24/7 monitoring of KPIs and fouling trends delivers immediately actionable, data-driven insights—without manual data processing or delays.
• Longer membrane lifespan
  Restore and maintain membrane capacity and extend service life, even in the case of stubborn fouling such as high-melting-point fats.
• Assured food safety and sustainability
  Targeted cleaning helps avoid the use of substances of concern and reduces water, energy, and chemical consumption—without compromising performance.

From performance to proven value

Ultrasil™ Connected enables system-specific optimization and can even eliminate entire cleaning or rinse steps. Through continuous monitoring, performance is directly translated into measurable value—every day, every wash.
