Markets & Applications

Our patented pressure exchanger technology is currently deployed in SWRO desalination. Isobaric pressure exchangers may also have applications across a range of industrial processes spanning low to ultra-high pressures.

Current Market

Seawater Reverse Osmosis Desalination

The market where our technology is currently commercialized through Flowserve Corporation.

Active • Commercialized

SWRO Desalination via Flowserve FLEX™

Our patented technology is deployed in the global SWRO desalination market through the Flowserve FLEX isobaric energy recovery device.

Isobaric pressure exchangers transfer hydraulic energy from the high-pressure brine reject stream to the incoming low-pressure seawater feed, significantly reducing the energy consumption of the reverse osmosis process. Energy costs are the single largest operating expense in SWRO desalination plants.

Potential Future Use

Potential Applications Beyond SWRO Desalination

Isobaric pressure exchanger technology has characteristics that may be well suited to a range of industrial processes across various pressure levels. Isobaric Strategies is exploring opportunities in these areas.

💧

Brackish Water RO (BWRO)

A large and growing global market for low-pressure reverse osmosis treating inland brackish groundwater for municipal drinking water and industrial use. Isobaric pressure exchangers can significantly reduce energy consumption in these systems.

♻️

Industrial Water Reuse

Industrial wastewater reuse and water recycling using low-pressure membrane processes is a rapidly expanding market driven by water scarcity and tightening discharge regulations.

🌍

Wastewater MLD & ZLD

Minimal and zero liquid discharge systems span low to ultra-high pressure ranges. Isobaric pressure exchangers can reduce energy consumption across these increasingly important wastewater treatment processes.
