Optimized for ZLD and MLD
Maximizing energy savings in ultra high-pressure applications
Energy Recovery’s U Series energy recovery devices for ultra high-pressure reverse osmosis (UHPRO) wastewater treatment dramatically reduces the energy needs, costs, and emissions associated with treating wastewater discharge. By using cutting-edge energy recovery technology to reduce energy use in UHPRO, these devices make treating wastewater less costly. The PX U Series is tailored for UHPRO applications, can handle higher brine concentrations, and operates at pressures of up to 120 bar (1,740 psi). Its modular design makes it ideal for small or large wastewater treatment plants.
How it works
65%
Potential recovery, in all flow conditions, of otherwise wasted energy
25 Years
Designed to last with no scheduled maintenance
93%
Peak efficiency of U Series
1740 PSI
Maximum operating pressure of U Series
Typically, in plants using ZLD or MLD for wastewater treatment, 50% of the cost is driven by the last 10% of the process due to the use of high-cost treatment technologies such as mechanical vapor compression (MVC), forward osmosis (FO), and electrodialysis (ED). UHPRO moves the cost of those technologies further downstream. The PX U Series further reduces the energy waste of the UHPRO process by returning pressure energy to the system, ultimately reducing overall energy costs.
