PX Pressure Exchangers that dramatically reduce power consumption in seawater reverse osmosis systems.
Energy Recovery, Inc. (ERI) manufactures the PX Pressure Exchanger line of energy recovery devices that capture hydraulic energy from the high-pressure RO concentrate stream. In seawater desalination, energy is the single largest operating cost. ERI devices can reduce power consumption by up to 60%, delivering a rapid return on investment and dramatically lowering the cost of desalinated water.
In a seawater RO system, the high-pressure concentrate (brine) stream leaving the membrane vessels contains a significant amount of hydraulic energy. Without energy recovery, this energy is wasted. The ERI PX pressure exchanger transfers the pressure energy from the concentrate stream directly to the incoming feed water, dramatically reducing the energy required by the high-pressure pump.
Compact pressure exchangers for portable and small commercial seawater desalination systems. Significant energy savings even at smaller scales.
Mid-range energy recovery for commercial and containerized SWRO systems. Optimal balance of size, performance, and cost.
High-capacity energy recovery for industrial and municipal desalination plants. Maximum energy savings at scale.
Energy Recovery Inc. (ERI) manufactures PX Pressure Exchangers that capture and reuse the hydraulic energy from RO concentrate streams. ERI devices reduce energy consumption in seawater and brackish water RO systems by up to 60%, with industry-leading transfer efficiency above 96%.
