SAN LEANDRO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 1, 2022 / Energy Recovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:ERII) today announced a slate of contract awards totaling more than $12.6 million to supply its PX® Pressure Exchanger® energy recovery devices (PX) to seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination facilities in North Africa, with all orders to be fulfilled by the end of 2022.

Energy Recovery estimates that across the four largest facilities in this group, the PX will prevent more than 130,000 metric tons of carbon emissions each year, the equivalent of removing over 28,000 passenger cars from the road.

When completed, these greenfield desalination facilities will supply hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of clean water each day to communities across North Africa, all of which meet the UN's threshold to be considered water scarce or very water scarce. This investment into new desalination facilities demonstrates that increasing the supply of potable water and access to stable water sources is a major priority in this region.

"North Africa - much like its neighbor, the Middle East - continues to face a dynamic water crisis brought on by climate change, a growing population, and increasing demand from the industrial sector. These countries in North Africa continue to provide a robust and steady market for us as they invest in strengthening and diversifying their water infrastructure, with desalination playing a key role," said Rodney Clemente, Energy Recovery's Senior Vice President of Water.

"We are proud that our desalination customers continue to rely on the PX's product leadership to improve the efficiency of their operations and reduce costs, making clean water more accessible around the world. For nearly 20 years we have been investing and monitoring activity in the region and our investments have paid off in a big way. We now have a cumulative installed capacity in North Africa exceeding four million cubic meters per day, further underscoring our market leadership in the region."

The PX has a peak efficiency of 98% and is capable of reducing energy consumption in SWRO facilities by as much as 60%. With a 25-year design cycle, the PX can provide significant savings to plant operators for years to come.
