Saudi Arabia : $10.1mn Water Projects contract awarded to Energy Recovery
Publish Date : 05-Apr-2018
Energy Recovery, Inc has bagged a $10.1mn total awards to deliver its PX Pressure Exchanger, and pump technologies for water projects in Saudi Arabia. The orders are planned to deliver in the second and third quarters of 2018.
X-Q300 Pressure Exchangers, VPXPTM circulation pumps and AquaBold high pressure pumps for multiple desalination facilities would be provided by Energy Recovery, which will produce up to 470,000 cubic meters of water per day.
Energy Recovery expected that the PX devices would cut down the facilities' power consumption for all projects by 50 MW, saving over 431 GWh of energy per year, and assisting the facilities avoid over 258,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
"Megaprojects and the Middle East remain key indicators as to the health of the overall water market, and we see continued strength throughout 2018 and into 2019, said Energy Recovery's President and CEO Chris Gannon.
We remain focused on maximizing customer value with end-to-end recovery solutions that combine our PX Pressure Exchanger and pump technologies in a single comprehensive offering, as seen in these recent awards.
Rodney Clemente, Energy Recovery's Vice President, Water, added, "Historically, the Saudi Arabian market was difficult for membrane desalination technologies to penetrate as low-cost, local power enabled technologies such as thermal desalination to initially gain majority market share.
Due to advancements in seawater reverse osmosis technologies and increased awareness in energy preservation, there has been a shift from thermal desalination to seawater reverse osmosis solutions.
