Energy Recovery develops technologies that improve the efficiency and sustainability of industrial fluid flow processes. The company initially focused on the desalination industry with its pressure exchanger technology and has since expanded to sectors like industrial wastewater treatment, hydraulic fracturing, sour gas processing, and CO2 refrigeration. Its products, including the PX Pressure Exchanger and Ultra PX, work by recovering and recycling energy within fluid systems, which helps clients reduce energy costs and environmental impact. Unlike many competitors, Energy Recovery emphasizes long-term service agreements and licensing deals, providing substantial cost savings and environmental benefits. The company's goal is to enhance industrial processes while aligning with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives.
