A recent contract award suggest isobaric energy recovery is yielding market shares to hydraulic energy converters.
ISOBARIX has been formed by a group of international investors to commercialize a second generation Pressure Exchanger invented by Leif J. Hauge. Among new proprietary design features is a patended central axel for rotor positiong rather than a sleeve, allowing for larger flows.
The new high flow device applies proven ceramic engineering and will be introduced to the SWRO market with higher overall performance at substantial lower cost.
How it happend....
A lot of sea water has been desalted since the first generation of the pressure exchanger went into a commercial SWRO plant in the Canary Islands 1997.
It all started in Norway almost 25 years ago and took many twists and turns before a commercial product emerged.
