Profile

Energy Recovery, Inc.ERIIIndustrials

Sells PX pressure exchangers and complementary pumps, turbochargers, and services for reverse-osmosis desalination and wastewater treatment. Revenue is centered on Water, with international megaproject, OEM, and aftermarket channels shaping demand.

Builds around PX pressure exchangers, engineered ceramic devices that transfer pressure energy inside reverse-osmosis systems. The Water segment also sells Ultra High-Pressure PX and Low-Pressure PX variants, hydraulic turbochargers, high-pressure and circulation booster pumps, spare parts, repairs, field services, and commissioning support.

Demand is tied to desalination and wastewater projects, with megaproject customers, OEMs, and aftermarket plant operators all in the channel mix. International water infrastructure work, including activity in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, is an important backdrop.

Execution depends on pressure-exchanger efficiency, durable ceramics, and project timing. Emerging Technologies is being narrowed after the CO2 retail-grocery refrigeration business was placed into wind-down.
