High-pressure PX
Including our gold-standard PX Q series, our high-pressure PX products provide unmatched energy recovery for large and small seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination and water treatment systems.
Optimize your operations
Best-in-class energy recovery for desalination and wastewater treatment
As drought, climate change, and water scarcity increase the demand for water systems, ensuring a sustainable method of providing fresh water is essential. For over 30 years, Energy Recovery has partnered with customers to drive operational efficiency in clean water production. Our solutions are critical to optimizing energy consumption and reducing emissions in reverse osmosis systems, making SWRO more affordable and contributing to a water-secure future. By utilizing Energy Recovery’s products, customers have avoided 22.5 million metric tons of carbon emissions annually.
Our high-pressure PX solutions offer unmatched energy recovery for seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination and wastewater treatment systems and operate at a wide range of pressure levels up to 83 bar (1200 psi). Large and small desalination projects worldwide rely on our range of PXs to achieve optimal operations and maximum energy savings. Designed with only one moving part using highly engineered alumina ceramic, the PX stands up to the harshest environments, resulting in an unmatched life cycle cost advantage.
