Energy Recovery Inc has secured orders worth US$10.1 million to supply its PX Pressure Exchanger and pump technologies for water projects in Saudi Arabia.
The orders are expected to ship in the second and third quarters of 2018.
Energy Recovery will supply its PX-Q300 Pressure Exchangers, VPXP circulation pumps and AquaBold high pressure pumps for multiple desalination facilities, which will produce up to 470 000 cubic metres of water per day. Energy Recovery estimates the PX devices will reduce the facilities' power consumption for all projects by 50 MW, saving over 431 GWh of energy per year, and helping the facilities avoid over 258 000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
Energy Recovery first deployed its PX Pressure Exchanger technology into Saudi Arabia in 2013 and has captured eight mega project references over the past five years.
