SAN LEANDRO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 26, 2021 / Energy Recovery (NASDAQ:ERII) today announced contract awards totaling more than $21.9 million for its PX® Pressure Exchanger® (PX) energy recovery devices and related equipment and services for seawater reverse osmosis desalination (SWRO) plants in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The orders are expected to ship through Q2 of 2022, and the plants will be able to produce a combined total over one million cubic meters of water per day (m3/day).
Energy Recovery's PX reduces energy use by up to 60% in SWRO facilities and provides the lowest lifecycle cost of any energy recovery device available on the market - significant savings that make SWRO desalination an attractive option to governments seeking to build a more robust water supply strategy. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which has a population of about 33.4 million, is the world's third largest per capita consumer of water after the United States and Canada. Safe and reliable water is essential for the region, and the SWRO plants leveraging the industry-leading PX will support that essential need.
"Climate change and industrial wastewater pollution both impact an increasingly strained water supply in the world's most arid regions," said Rodney Clemente, Energy Recovery's Senior Vice President of Water. "Our customers trust Energy Recovery to provide best-in-class products and impeccable service for desalination and industrial wastewater treatment plants. The power and performance of our PX has been proved time and again in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia where we have 24 mega project sized facilities that provide a total of 8 million m3/day of essential clean water."
The unique design of the PX provides unparalleled reliability and performance for desalination facilities. The ceramic core at the heart of each PX is composed of four simple components and only one rotating part. The powerful and efficient system requires no scheduled maintenance over the lifetime of a plant and helps ensure uninterrupted operations as well as significant energy savings. Energy Recovery estimates that the PXs supplied to the plants will prevent more than 490,810 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, equivalent to removing more than 106,741 passenger vehicles from the road annually.
