Oman Desalination Plant Uses Energy Recovery's PX Q300 for World's Largest Reverse Osmosis Trains
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Designed to be the largest single reverse osmosis trains in operation world-
wide, Oman is highlighting Energy Recovery's scalability and technical
adaptability in desalination
SAN LEANDRO, Calif., September 13, 2013 - Energy Recovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: ERII),
the leader in capturing reusable energy from industrial fluid flows and
pressures cycles, announced today that one of the largest reverse osmosis (RO)
single train in the world will use its PX Q300 Pressure Exchanger® technology
to desalinate seawater in Al Ghubrah, Oman. The technological first-a
desalination mega-project producing more than 191,000 m³/day (50 million gallons
per day) of potable and irrigation water in the Middle East North Africa region
(MENA)- will feature eight trains, each desalinating 30,000 cubic meters of
seawater per day. This configuration will produce potable water for
approximately 800,000 residents, easing the intense freshwater needs in the
region. The Muscat City Desalination Company (MCDC) formed by Cadagua, Malakoff,
and Sumitomo will build, own and operate Al Ghubrah Independent Water.
Energy Recovery's success in Oman and around the world led the plant-design team
to select the PX Q300. The EPC contractor, International Water Treatment LLC
(formed by Cadagua, Wabag and Galfar) has chosen PX technology to ensure
efficient, reliable energy recovery to overcome the challenges of seawater
processing in Oman. For an animated video showing how the PX device works,

Cadagua's Contract Director on the Al Ghubrah Plant shares why International
Water Treatment LLC trusts Energy Recovery to deliver the highest possible
efficiency: "Energy Recovery is well-known in the industry and the MENA
region. The highly reliable PX-Q300 was the most advantageous choice for us on
an RO train this size," states Emilio López Pacetti from Cadagua.
In the dry MENA region, seawater desalination is essential to continued
prosperity and vitality. The demand for agricultural, drinking, and industrial
water continues to increase along with economic development and population
growth. Because the region has more than six percent of the world's population
but access to just over one percent of the planet's renewable fresh water
resources, countries like Oman must find sustainable, affordable, and efficient
ways to offer potable water to its residents. Seawater processing plants like
the Al Ghubrah installation and technologies like Energy Recovery's highly
efficient and reliable solutions are helping to bridge that gap.
Lower processing costs are crucial to the vitality of an area such as MENA where
water resources are significantly stressed. The Al Ghubrah plant will see large
benefits across its operational expense and impact; CO2 savings and cost savings
annually. "We designed the PX to be modular and adaptable. With a bigger PX
train, the efficiency values are higher and this reduces the net reverse osmosis
process," states Tom Rooney, CEO of Energy Recovery.
Energy Recovery PX Technology Highlights and Impact
Over the past decade, Energy Recovery has been refining its SWRO clean
technologies and employing its premium energy recovery solutions around the
world - currently accounting for 90 percent of the ERD market share globally.
The EPC consortium selected the PX Q300 device for the Al Ghubrah project
because the solution boasts:
· The lowest life cycle cost of any energy recovery device in the
market.
* Highest guaranteed efficiency of 97.2 percent.
* Highest availability (99.8 percent uptime) with zero downtime.
* Smallest installed footprint than any other ERD.
* Lifetime designed for 25+ years.
