Cadagua leads retrofit trend by upgrading Spanish Valdelentisco Desalination
Plant with Energy Recovery's PX® Q300 for highest efficiency, reliability, and
availability
SAN LEANDRO, Calif., July 23, 2013 - Energy Recovery Inc. (NASDAQ: ERII), the
leader in capturing reusable energy from industrial fluid flows and pressure
cycles, today announced that Spanish water company, Cadagua, has selected the
Company's premium PX® technology to retrofit its Valdelentisco Desalination
Plant. Located in Valdelentisco, Murcia, in southeastern Spain, the plant has a
potable and irrigation water production capacity of 140,000 m3/d, making it one
of the largest desalination plants in Europe. Phase I of this new project which
involves a retrofit of two reverse osmosis trains, is one of many for Cadagua
and Energy Recovery who have been working together for over a decade, having
recently commissioned large plants in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)
region, including Morocco and Ajman in the UAE.
Part of a larger trend to retrofit desalination plants around the world, this
new project highlights the viability and sustainability of desalination as a
solution to the ever growing strain on available fresh water resources. By
retrofitting and upgrading with the latest in energy recovery technologies in
desalination, plants and municipalities can save money and increase
efficiencies. In Spain, Energy Recovery's technology has been chosen in a
majority of 2012-13 retrofit operations, and has saved customers 1.5 billion kWh
and more than $158 million per year. Cadagua chose the PX technology not only
because of the estimated savings per year for Phase I, but because the plant
will not need to replace its existing pump system -adding to the overall
increase in savings. The PX device is flexible and adaptable to variable
operating conditions allowing the array to be installed with existing equipment.
"Even during hard economic times, we knew investing in Energy Recovery's
solutions would give us the best return on our investment. The cost savings we
are expecting to achieve will be vital to the plant's ability to remain online,
and to the development of fresh water production for our country," exclaims Eva
Muñoz, Project Manager from Cadagua.
"In financial crises, it makes sense to cut back. But there are times when
investing in smart clean technologies can create greater efficiencies that
affect the bottom line. Energy Recovery is proud to help partners Acuamed
(owner of the plant) and Cadagua (plant management company) achieve their
immediate and long term economic and technology objectives to make water more
competitive and affordable," said Tom Rooney, CEO of Energy Recovery.
This deal comes as no surprise given Spain's reputation as a pioneer in the
global desalination industry. The Spanish government is a strong supporter of
developing smarter technologies that bring energy costs down, which ultimately
makes water more affordable and competitive, and lowers plants' operating
expenses. This is a testament to Energy Recovery's highly efficient and
reliable solutions. At a time when Spain is experiencing one of the most
difficult financial crises in decades, the governmental body that oversees and
initiates desalination development, Acuamed, is driving a national effort to
invest in making desalination plants more efficient and cost competitive for
regional water production.
