How to Integrate the First Pressure Exchanger in a US Brackish RO Facility

March 5, 2024 | 2:30pm – 3:00pm ET

This paper will describe the design, commissioning, and operational impacts of the first BWRO pressure exchanger (PX) within the US. As a widely used technology in the seawater treatment process, the focus on reducing operations cost and overall cost of water has identified a need for PX devices to be integrated into the BWRO market. As the design engineer of record and the facility owner, the paper describes the functionality and operational impacts the PX brings to BWRO treatment.

Utilities are a constant in our industry. Our organizations are essential to providing safe drinking water to our communities and are critical to public health. It is fitting that we are in the water industry because whether we like it or not things are constantly changing. As water erodes and shapes, our policies and ever-changing environment continues to shape how our utilities operate and change how things flow. Whether it’s upcoming or new regulations, staffing shortages, or operating procedures, these all affect how our utilities operate and adapt to the times. This panel will address three main topics from planning for, managing, and tracking progress related to change.
