Energy Recovery president and CEO Chris Gannon said: “This and other recent awards instill further confidence in the strength of our water business through the second half of 2018 continuing into 2019.

“North Africa remains a key market for desalination, and thanks to the tireless efforts of our water team and the excellence of our Pressure Exchanger technology we continue to see success in both mega project and OEM awards in the region.”

Energy Recovery vice president for water Rodney Clemente said: “Egypt continues to be a global leader in desalination and was an early adopter of Energy Recovery’s technology.

“Since deploying our industry-leading PX Pressure Exchanger technology, which offers the lowest lifecycle costs of any energy recovery device on the market, we have successfully captured 100% mega project market share in-country with 550,000 cubic meters per day of installed capacity.

“We continue to track developments in regional infrastructure and are excited for the additional opportunities to support Egypt’s aggressive growth strategy into the future.”
