PEI supplies HTC-AT 4800 TurboChargers for 30MGD SWRO Plant Posted 05/22/06
Robert A. Oklejas, President of Pump Engineering Inc. (PEI) announces an order from ITT advanced separation unit Aquious for a quantity of nine (9) HTC-AT 4800 Hydraulic TurboChargers. These Advanced Technology Turbos will be used in a 30 MGD seawater reverse osmosis plant in the Middle East. This order represents an important development in energy recovery technology for large RO plants as it verifies that the Advanced Technology Turbo has eliminated the efficiency gap between turbine energy recovery devices (ERD) and flow work exchangers. Now large RO plants can achieve low specific energy consumption without sacrificing reliability, and while still enjoying easy installation, simple operation, low noise, and smooth pulsation free flow.
AT3D Technology is the culmination of three years of Research & Development by Pump Engineering, Inc. This R&D investment included the latest and most advanced turbo machine design software and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, 3D CAD and CAM, and 5 Axis CNC machining. The AT TurboCharger is the only energy recovery device whose hydraulic flow path is completely custom engineered and manufactured per customer order. This innovative process means that the best efficiency point of every AT Turbo is at the customer’s design duty point
The high efficiency of the AT TurboCharger provides a turbo boost pressure that makes possible the use of high efficiency single stage high pressure feed pumps. This is another area were AT Turbo technology lowers capital and maintenance cost.
AT Turbo are now available from 50 – 12,000gpm. Custom made units of larger capacity can be produced with additional lead time.
