Energy Recovery Inc (NASDAQ:ERII), a leader in the design and
development of energy recovery devices for desalination, today
announced that its Pump Engineering™ division has entered the fifth
year of a mutually successful partnership with Global Defense
Technology & Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:GTEC) to provide essential
desalination components for GTEC’s Tactical Water Purification
System (TWPS). The rugged, transportable TWPS is used by the U.S.
military to supply fresh, clean water from any non-potable water
source. Pump Engineering’s HTCII-50 Turbocharger technology enables
efficient, cost-effective reverse osmosis desalination to help the
military activate the TWPS during combat, disaster relief efforts
or in other scenarios in which fresh water is not readily
available.
The GTEC TWPS units purify, store and dispense potable water
from any source and are capable of producing up to 1,500 gallons
per hour from lakes and rivers and up to 1,200 gallons per hour
from seawater. Designed to meet the exact specifications of each
branch of the U.S. military, TWPS units can supply enough potable
water for more than 12,000 people per day and are frequently
deployed to quickly supply water in emergency response situations,
including as part of the 2010 earthquake relief efforts in
Haiti.
Pump Engineering’s hydraulic Turbochargers are custom-designed
to reduce energy consumption and increase efficiency in specific
process conditions, including seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO)
desalination and liquid processing. Like Energy Recovery’s
portfolio of PX™ energy recovery devices, the Turbochargers are
durable and simple to operate. More than 10,000 of Energy
Recovery’s devices are deployed or under contract to be installed
for various applications across the globe. In total, they save more
than 900 MW of energy and reduce CO2 emissions by more than 4.7
million tons per year worldwide.
“Our Turbochargers have an established reputation at SWRO and
BWRO plants across the globe, and the TWPS application illustrates
the flexibility of our technologies for almost any use,” said
Lindsay Reau, international sales manager at Pump Engineering. “The
integration of the HTCII-50 Turbochargers into the TWPS mobile
desalination units is a great example of the human benefit our
technology provides. We look forward to continuing our successful
partnership with Global Defense Technology & Systems to help
the U.S. military quickly and efficiently produce potable water for
combat, disaster relief or any other scenario.”
