| The leading manufacturer of reverse osmosis desalination systems and energy recovery pumps has presented their latest product development, the Pearson Pump, at the WQA - Aquatech USA, conference in Chicago, March 18-20, 2009. The Pearson Pump is an elegant new high-pressure pump innovation that has been developed for energy-efficient reverse osmosis desalination of sea water and brackish water. The Pearson Pump is a breakthrough evolution and enhancement of reciprocating pump design. This unique pump system combines feed water pumping and energy recovery into a single unit. The "Energy Recovery" feature of the Pearson Pump recycles valuable energy entrained in the waste stream which is normally discarded, recovering as much as 80% of the energy wasted in a conventional system. This dramatically increases efficiency, bringing energy requirements down to an impressive 10 watt hours per gallon, a major improvement for water desalination. The development of the new Pearson Pump will enable to increase the output of desalinated water by 30% in many of the existing products while also reducing their energy requirements and, because of the scalability of the Pearson Pump, the next generation of products will be efficiently producing 12-30 thousand gallons per day from ocean water and brackish water wells, river estuaries, and inland aquifers. |
