Pump Engineering Unveils New Multistage Pump Posted 11/29/07
Pump Engineering Inc. (PEI) announced today the introduction of its new MSRO (Multi-Stage Reverse Osmosis) pump family for the desalination industry. “We are pleased to continue our leadership role in this market,” said Roy Radakovich, CEO of PEI. “The development was focused on the small to medium Reverse Osmosis applications, using either sea water or brackish water. This complements our high flow AVS pump line which was introduced earlier in 2007.”
The MSRO pump family has a broad range of “application-specific pumps” which handle flows ranging between 75 to 4800 gallons per minute (17-1090 m³/hour) at pressures up to 1100 psi (75.8 bar). It can be used with PEI’s HALO/AT series of energy recovery devices. “This provides the customer with a complete hydraulic solution for his or her application,” said Operations VP, Kevin Terrasi.
The MSRO pump family has several features that make it unique in the market and ensure reliability and a long useful life:
1) The MRSO family eliminates the need for high-speed motors or variable frequency drives, reducing cost and complexity in reverse osmosis process plants.
2) The impeller and crossover parts use Duplex 2205, which is proven in reliability as a durable material against saltwater corrosion.
3) The primary parts are investment cast, not stamped, and are designed using the latest CFD (Computer Flow Dynamics) software. This optimizes energy usage and extends lifetime.
4) The MSRO also uses a new bearing technology which eliminates the need for an external balancing line, again reducing losses found in competing equipment.
5) PEI has established a new, cost-effective qualification process for selecting pump materials.
Pump Engineering has been a leader in energy recovery devices for desalination and other industries for over 20 years. With PEI devices in operation in more water recovery trains than any other supplier, its low Total Life Cycle Cost approach has proven meaningful for both small and large applications worldwide.
