Business Wire
Energy Recovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: ERII), a leader in the design and
development of energy recovery devices for desalination, today
announced that the company’s leading PX Pressure Exchanger™ (PX™)
energy recovery devices have been implemented or contracted at five
seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plants across Cyprus.
By reducing the energy consumed during the SWRO desalination
process by up to 60 percent, Energy Recovery is currently helping
to cost-effectively deliver more than 140,000 m3 (37.1 million
gallons) of clean, fresh water per day to the people of Cyprus.
“We have been working with Energy Recovery for more than nine
years, and rely on the company’s PX technology to assist us to
provide clean, affordable water to the people of Cyprus,” said Olga
Sallangos, plant manager at the Dhekelia Desalination Plant, a
60,000 m3/day (15.9 million gallons) facility built by the
Caramondani Group. “Energy Recovery’s PX devices offer superior
performance, and the company provides excellent technical services
and support. We made a strategic decision to replace legacy devices
with PX technology from ERI, and as a result, we have reduced our
energy costs by approximately 0.5 kWh per cubic meter, helping to
establish desalination as the long-term, sustainable solution to
address water scarcity in Cyprus.”
In addition to the Dhekelia facility, Energy Recovery’s PX
devices are implemented at desalination plants at Moni (20,000
m3/day) and in Larnaca (60,000 m3/day), and they are also under
contract to be installed in the plants in Paphos (40,000 m3/day)
and Episkopi (40,000 m3/day), both of which are currently under
construction. To watch a video about how the Dhekelia Desalination

“Energy Recovery has been integral to the success of
desalination in Cyprus for quite some time, and having our
technology implemented in all five SWRO desalination facilities
there is testament to the superior performance, reliability and
energy-savings benefits that our PX devices continue to provide,”
said Emad Al Sharif, Energy Recovery’s global director of sales for
the OEM group, a team that focuses on serving customers and
projects that require a production capacity below 50,000 m3 (13
million gallons) per day.
Energy Recovery's PX devices operate at up to 98 percent
efficiency and 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 900 MW of energy and reducing CO2
emissions by more than 4.7 million tons per year worldwide. More
than 10,000 PX devices are currently deployed or under contract to
be installed at desalination plants across the globe. For more
