Energy Recovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:ERII), a leader in the design and
development of energy recovery devices for desalination, today
announced the relocation of its corporate headquarters and
manufacturing operations to a nearby facility that will include
new, state-of-the-art ceramics research and production
capabilities. Incorporating on-site ceramics manufacturing enables
Energy Recovery, Inc. (ERI) to maintain its competitive advantage
by enhancing its ability to develop next-generation products. The
expansion also allows for an increase in production capacity as
global demand for the company’s PX Pressure ExchangerTM technology
continues to grow.
“ERI has set the industry standard when it comes to energy
recovery devices, reducing our customers’ desalination energy costs
by up to 60 percent. As desalination continues to be adopted to
address the mounting global water crisis, the demand for ERI’s
technology has also increased,” said G.G. Pique, president and
chief executive officer at ERI. “Our new headquarters provides ERI
with a distinctive competitive edge, as it enables us to integrate
our supply chain and expand our product offerings through
extensive, unmatched research and development capabilities. We look
forward to years of continued success in the new location as we
further strengthen our position as the industry’s leading provider
of energy recovery devices.”
ERI’s newly expanded headquarters combines the company’s
business operations and manufacturing into a single, 165,000
square-foot facility in San Leandro, Calif. By integrating a
full-scale, state-of-the-art ceramics production process, ERI
strengthens its oversight on its intellectual property, improves
its supply costs and enhances the efficiency of its manufacturing
and operations activities. To grow its ceramics expertise, ERI has
hired Timothy Dyer, a seasoned ceramist and inventor who holds more
than 30 U.S. patents and has authored numerous technical
publications about related technical subjects.
“This expansion and consolidation provides ERI with the ability
to improve the efficiency of our operations and control costs,”
said Terry Sandlin, vice president of manufacturing at ERI. “Hiring
Tim Dyer is a tremendous win for our engineering and manufacturing
development team as he brings a wealth of expertise in
ceramics.”
ERI’s PX technology is used in hundreds of desalination plants
around the world. More than 7,000 PX devices are currently deployed
or under contract to be installed at desalination plants across the
globe. All combined, these devices deliver more than six billion
liters of clean water each day—an average of one liter for every
person on the planet. By using ERI PX devices to recycle wasted
pressure energy, desalination plants are able to reduce the energy
consumption of SWRO systems by up to 60 percent, making
desalination a cost-effective solution for clean water supply. PX
devices also reduce the carbon footprint of desalination, saving
more than 750 MW of energy and reducing CO2 emissions by more than
4.6 million tons per year worldwide.
