Magtaa desalination turbocharger delivery complete

Delivery of 25 TurboCharger energy recovery devices for the largest seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant in the world has been completed by Energy Recovery Inc (ERI).

ERI, through its recent acquisition Pump Engineering, has supplied the AT-7200 TurboChargers to Hyflux Ltd, the company that has designed, built and will operate the plant located in Magtaa in northwestern Algeria. The facility will be producing 500,000 m³/d of potable water.

ERI says that the AT-7200 TurboCharger line employs the most advanced computational fluid dynamic turbo machine software and five-axis machining technology used in the desalination industry today.

“ERI’s partnership with Hyflux and our involvement in the success of the landmark SWRO desalination facility in Magtaa underscores our company’s technical innovation and market leadership in providing the most advanced energy-recovery devices for large ‘mega-plants’ such as this one,” said Kevin Terrasi, vice president of engineering, ERI.
