PEI Forms Relationship with Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, Inc. Posted 11/07/08
Robert Oklejas, chairman and president of Pump Engineering, Inc., announced today that an agreement has been reached with Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, Inc. for PWR to provide engineering and research and development services to PEI for validation of hydraulic and rotor dynamic performance, and optimization of PEI’s AT Turbocharger and AVS pump lines. The AT Turbochargers and AVS pumps are used in the high-pressure circuits of large sea water reverse osmosis desalination plants. “Incremental improvements are the historical basis of turbomachinery development,” said Mr. Oklejas. Collaboration with PWR brings space age math and physics modeling capabilities to the task of improving turbomachinery performance which is key to reducing the cost of desalinating for the benefit of tens of millions of people world wide.
Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, Inc., a part of Pratt & Whitney, is a preferred provider of high-value propulsion, power, energy, and innovative system solutions used in a wide variety of government and commercial applications, including the main engines for the Space Shuttle, Atlas, Delta, and Saturn V launch vehicles, missile defense systems, and advanced hypersonic engines.
