The orders are expected to ship in the 4th quarter of 2017. Energy Recovery will supply its LPT & AT Turbocharger devices for the plants, which will produce a total of up to 64,000 cubic meters of water per day.
Energy Recovery estimates the turbocharger devices will reduce the plants' power consumption for all projects by 2.3 MW, saving over 20.1 GWh of energy per year, and helping the plants avoid over 12,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
Energy Recovery's President and CEO Joel Gay stated, "These orders further solidify our position as a market leader in the Middle East desalination market, more specifically in Saudi Arabia, and confirm that we provide unparalleled quality beyond our flagship PX technology and into our centrifugal and turbocharger product lines.
"We have recently introduced an enhanced AT Turbocharger design with increased resiliency which should further reduce failures, thereby helping plants minimize costs. We remain laser-focused on providing best-in-class products across the spectrum of our technology to desalination customers seeking optimized plant savings and efficient operations."
