Energy Recovery Reaches Landmark; Ships 20,000th PX® Pressure Exchanger®
"Our PX Pressure Exchangers have enabled our customers around the globe to reduce the operating costs and the environmental footprint of their water desalination operations. Today, desalination plants using our technology produce enough fresh water to meet the daily consumption of approximately 52 million people," said Energy Recovery President and CEO
The PX Pressure Exchanger, which was first introduced over 20 years ago, revolutionized the economics of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination by recycling pressure energy that would otherwise be lost in the desalination process. The technology reduces the energy costs of converting seawater to fresh water via SWRO desalination by up to 60 percent. In 1997, Energy Recovery installed its first PX Pressure Exchanger in the
"I started my career with Energy Recovery two decades ago when the PX Pressure Exchanger had just recently been commercialized. At that time, we were at the very beginning of tapping into the technology's game-changing potential for the emerging SWRO desalination industry. Since commercialization, we have increased the performance, reliability, and durability of our technology while becoming the energy recovery solution of choice for SWRO plants of all sizes," shared Energy Recovery Vice President of Water
Energy recovery devices like the PX Pressure Exchanger have greatly influenced the trajectory of the SWRO desalination industry. An Energy Recovery-produced infographic exploring this history can be found here: http://www.energyrecovery.com/erds-in-swro-desal-ig/.
Energy Recovery's PX Pressure Exchanger technology provides a best-in-class energy recovery solution for SWRO desalination through high efficiency and unmatched reliability. The technology is designed for any size reverse osmosis desalination plant, delivers the lowest lifecycle cost of any energy recovery device on the market, and operates at 98 percent efficiency.
