Energy Recovery announces $12M in contracts for PX Pressure Exchanger

Energy Recovery announced contract awards totaling over $12M for its PX Pressure Exchanger energy recovery devices for three seawater reverse osmosis desalination projects in the United Arab Emirates. The plants include capacity totaling close to 1 million cubic meters per day, and the orders are expected to ship by Q4 2024. These contracts have previously been reported in the company’s financial guidance. One of the recently awarded contracts will include PX installations on a floating desalination barge in the Arabian Gulf, which will produce fresh water offshore before pumping it back to the mainland. Offshore desalination facilities eliminate the need for swaths of coastal land, which is often limited and expensive, making it a viable option for densely populated coastal regions. The contracts in the United Arab Emirates will incorporate both the PX Q400 and PX Q300 models, which offer operational sound levels at just 79 decibels. This will also create safer and better workplace environments for these SWRO plants.
