Quadribaric technology to make seawater desalination affordable

30 November 2009

Designed to address the world’s clean water shortages, the Quadribaric technology from Energy Recovery Inc in embedded into the PX-300 line of rotary energy recovery devices, effectively doubling the work load of each device

Rick Stover, Energy Recovery Inc’s chief technology officer said: “Energy Recovery is continually developing technologies to support the evolving needs of desalination plants and to help deliver environmentally-friendly, low-cost water to the world. Quadribaric technology is our latest enhancement and establishes a new performance standard for the industry. With the PX-300 device, Energy Recovery is supporting the growing capacity demands of larger desalination plants, where lower operating pressures, higher efficiencies and longer product life are essential to success.”
 

Benefits of the Quadribaric technology include straighter flow paths, minimal mixing between the seawater concentrate and feed water, slower rotational rate and reduced sound levels in operation.
 

With more than 7,000 PX devices in use in desalination plants across the globe, the addition of the Quadribaric technology from Energy Recovery Inc has the potential to create greater energy savings and environmental benefits while meeting the growing demand for clean, affordable water.
