Technological Innovation of the Year

No electrical power, complicated controls or scheduled maintenance. The PX Pressure Exchanger device, a pump that delivers hundreds of kilowatts of hydraulic energy without consuming one is a truly innovative technology. With a single moving part made of ceramic and operating at up to 98% efficiency, the PX energy recovery device is a major technological breakthrough that has helped make seawater desalination affordable, world-wide.

Environmental/Energy Saving Award

As one of the most efficient energy recovery devices available today, the PX Pressure Exchanger provides constant ultra high efficiencies over a broad range of flows and pressures. ERI guarantees PX device efficiency to be greater than 95% for most SWRO applications regardless of salinity, temperature or recovery rate variations. High, constant efficiency is a significant operating cost advantage over other energy recovery devices on the market. World-wide, the PX Pressure Exchanger Technology is helping to save over 500 Megawatts of energy or an estimated $350 million annually.
