Energy recovery turbochargers for seawater reverse osmosis — up to 50% reduction in SWRO energy consumption.
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%.

For larger SWRO trains, the FEDCO HPB-130 provides the same patented RotorFlo technology in a higher-capacity frame. The HPB-130 is suited for systems requiring greater feed and brine flow rates while maintaining the same energy recovery efficiency, zero-lubrication design, and Super Duplex 2507 construction.
Contact ForeverPure for HPB-130 sizing data and selection assistance for your specific system parameters.
Lead time: 3–6 weeks. Suitable for lower-salinity seawater and brackish water applications where Super Duplex is not required.
Lead time: 6–8 weeks. Standard material for full seawater service, providing maximum corrosion resistance for high-chloride environments.

High-pressure single-stage centrifugal pump for SWRO booster and feed service.
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.
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.
