FEDCO has introduced the MSB-Hemi feed pump with integrated energy recovery turbine (ERT). The package combines the MSB multi-stage centrifugal feed pump coupled with a turbine module for brine energy recovery. It can improve energy efficiency in brackish RO systems over a broad range of flows and pressures. The system handles feed flows up to 150 m3/hr and pressures up to 35 bar and brine flows up to 80 m3/hr. The turbine module uses custom-designed multi-vane turbine nozzles and impeller to achieve turbine efficiencies in excess of 80%. Fluid Equipment Development Co.www.fedco-usa.com
