Energy Recovery Inc Selected by Consolidated Water Co. (CWCO) for Desalination ...
10.05.11
ERI’s market leading PX devices and AquaBold pumps were selected by CWCO
based on their proven reliability and high performance in two previous
SWRO projects. The expanded Blue Hills desalination plant, which was
originally built approximately six years ago with competing energy
recovery devices and high pressure pumps, will provide 18,500 cubic
meters, or about 4.9 million gallons per day, of clean, safe and
affordable drinking water to the inhabitants of the island.
“Much of the overall cost of desalination can be attributed to energy
consumption, which is why CWCO is partnering with ERI to conserve as
much energy as possible, ensuring that clean, safe drinking water is
within reach for every resident on the island,” stated Ramjeet
Jerrybandan, vice president of Overseas Operations, Consolidated Water
Co. “CWCO selected Energy Recovery Inc’s PX devices because in our
experience, they reliably reduce energy consumption, costs and the
environmental impact generated by desalination without the need for
regular maintenance or a large stock of spare parts.”
