The IDRA World Congress is the premier global event advancing innovation, technical development, and business exchange among stakeholders focused on sustainable water solutions. Held under the patronage of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA) and hosted by the Saudi Water Authority, the 2026 World Congress in Riyadh brings together global leaders, innovators, and decision-makers under the theme “Driving Global Water Sustainability Through Innovation.” The five-day program features an industry-wide exhibition, a peer-reviewed technical program with parallel tracks, and a high-level Leaders’ Summit convening executives from finance, project development, utilities, and technical solution providers, making it the most important gathering in the desalination calendar.

There is no better stage for Energy Recovery’s flagship product than Riyadh, the world’s largest producer of desalinated water and a hub for high-impact innovation in the water sector. At the Congress, we’ll be showcasing the PX Q650, our most efficient, highest-capacity PX® Pressure Exchanger® for SWRO desalination facilities. Delivering up to 99% peak efficiency and a peak flow of 650 gpm (147.6 m³/h), the PX Q650 reduces the number of units required per train, simplifies system design, and lowers total cost of ownership, all backed by a 30-year design life and no scheduled maintenance. Visit our booth to speak with our engineers and learn why the PX Q650 is the gold standard for large-scale SWRO operations.
