Energy Recovery (NASDAQ) has secured over $12 million in contracts to supply PX Pressure Exchanger devices for three seawater desalination projects in the UAE. The projects will create nearly 1 million cubic meters of desalination capacity per day, with one involving a floating desalination barge in the Arabian Gulf. This offshore solution addresses the lack of coastal land and offers an innovative approach for water-scarce regions.

Since reverse osmosis (RO) is often limited to a water recovery of 70–85 %, implementing a secondary process like electrodialysis metathesis (EDM) to treat concentrate can increase system water recovery. This study explores salt-free electrodialysis metathesis (SF-EDM) as an alternative to conventional EDM to investigate its performance in the zero discharge desalination (ZDD) process. SF-EDM utilizes monovalent-selective ion exchange membranes, eliminating the need for sodium chloride (NaCl) as a substitution solution.
