History
The technology foundation of the company is an invention by Norwegian Inventor, Mr. Leif Hauge based on a unique ceramic pump called the [PX Pressure Exchanger (PX)][1]. The PX is based on a rotary positive displacement pump principle that recovers energy from the high-pressure waste stream of SWRO desalination systems. This technology can reduce the cost of water production to less than half the cost without energy recovery.
This reduction in desalination costs is driving a boom in global desalination projects—with over 140 major projects being tracked worldwide by Global Water Intelligence Magazine.
Today ERII works with over 80 OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) or engineering (EPC) companies worldwide. their headquarters is situated in the San Francisco Bay Area; San Leandro, California USA with offices in Sunrise, Florida and different parts of the world including: Madrid, Spain; Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Shanghai, China.
