미국의 유체 압력 회복 전문기업인 Energy Recovery사가 인도 잠나가르에 PX Q300 압력 변환기를 발송했다. 이는 세계에서 가장 큰 규모의 정유공장에 위치한 거대한 담수화 플랜트 확장의 일환이다.

에너지 리커버리 장치는 잠나가르 담수화 플랜트에 현재 설치된 하루 16만㎥ 규모의 다중효용 증류 시설에 추가되어 역삼투 플랜트에 설치될 예정이다. 이로써 플랜트가 임명된 이래로 세 번째 확장으로써 하루 18만8천㎥ 규모까지 처리수를 늘릴 수 있게 된다.

 

 

 

US fluid pressure recovery specialist, Energy Recovery, has shipped its PX Q300 pressure exchangers to Jamnagar, India as part of a large desalination plant expansion at the world's largest oil refinery.

 

The energy recovery devices are going into a reverse osmosis plant being added to the Jamnagar desalination plant's existing 160,000 m³/d multiple effect distillation facility, upping its output by 188,000 m³/d in its third expansion since it was commissioned.

 

Reduction of energy consumption was critical to the expansion project according to Energy Recovery. The company said its PX Q300 was 'well known for its reliability, energy efficiency and lifetime guarantee" owing to its Energy Recovery ten years in India. Recently its award-winning PX Pressure Exchangers were installed in two of India's largest seawater reverse osmosis desalination plants, Chennai I and II.

 

Energy Recovery chief executive officer Tom Rooney said the Jamnagar project "demonstrates a crystal clear example of the water-energy nexus. To create energy, we need water and vice versa."
