Markets

ERI’s PX™ devices are saving more than 750 megawatts of power globally and reducing CO2 emissions by more than 4.6 million tons annually. They are supporting the production of more than 6.3 million m3 per day, which is enough drinking water for approximately 25 million people.

Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO), a process that converts seawater to (potable) drinking quality water, is a major market for ERI. Almost every SWRO plant being built today utilizes some type of energy recovery device (ERD) to improve energy efficiency, with ERI’s PX devices being the preferred choice in many instances.

While a vital purpose of desalination is the production of water for drinking, SWRO is also being used to provide process water for industrial applications, such as steel and mining. Industrial consumption accounts for 15-20% of all water usage, averaged worldwide, and many industries obtain the water they need using SWRO. ERI’s PX devices are helping improve the cost of the products of these industrial processes by making desalination affordable.

From Istanbul's steel mining plants to Australia's iron ore industry, PX Technology offers a durable, reliable and highly efficient solution to address the water needs of many.
