When completed, these projects will supply over one million cubic meters per day of potable water for municipal and agricultural use – enough water for more than 600,000 Moroccans.
Energy Recovery expects to fulfill all of the orders in 2024.
“Desalination is the only drought-proof source of water, and it is vital that arid regions around the world such as North Africa secure access to freshwater by investing in a diversified portfolio of water treatment technologies including energy-efficient SWRO,” said Rodney Clemente, Energy Recovery Senior Vice President of Water. “These contracts include one of the largest desalination projects in North Africa, which will help close the gap between the existing water supply and Morocco’s growing freshwater demands. In addition to supplying drinking water, over half of the projected desalination production is earmarked towards the agricultural sector, making desalination and our PX devices a pivotal actor in creating a sustainable ecosystem."
Energy Recovery’s PX can reduce energy consumption in desalination by as much as 60%.
