Download HPB-60 Datasheet (PDF, 200 KB)

The FEDCO HPB-60 is an energy recovery turbocharger engineered specifically for seawater reverse osmosis systems. It recovers over 80% of the hydraulic energy from the high-pressure brine reject stream and transfers it directly to the incoming feed water, reducing overall SWRO energy consumption by up to 50%.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does FEDCO manufacture?

FEDCO builds energy recovery turbochargers (such as the HPB series), high-pressure booster pumps, and energy recovery turbines used in large-scale seawater desalination plants.

How does FEDCO energy recovery reduce desalination cost?

FEDCO devices recover hydraulic energy from the high-pressure brine (concentrate) stream and return it to the feed, significantly lowering the energy required per gallon of desalinated water.

Does ForeverPure supply genuine FEDCO equipment and parts?

Yes. ForeverPure supplies and integrates genuine FEDCO energy recovery and pumping equipment; parts are available through foreverpureplace.com.
