    How do turbochargers work?

    Turbochargers harness brine energy to pressurize a reverse osmosis feed stream, reducing energy consumption and equipment requirements.

    In a turbocharger, high-pressure brine flow drives a turbine, which is connected by a one-piece rotor to a pump impeller.

    This efficiently transfers energy from a pressurized brine stream into a feed pressure boost with close to zero noise and vibration.

    Turbochargers are an all-in-one energy recovery solution and require no motors, drives, lubrication lines or manifolds.

    Turbochargers can be installed directly after the high-pressure feed pump, or in place of an interstage booster pump.

    This reduces the pressure required from the high-pressure feed pump, reducing its size and motor speed.

    Motorized turbochargers

    Optimize pressure management for large-scale SWRO and BWRO systems.

    The HP-HEMI motorized turbocharger is designed for situations where brine energy alone is insufficient to provide the necessary boost.

    The HP-HEMI consists of a turbocharger coupled to a motor, meaning that a VFD can be used to increase feed pressure boost by modifying the rotor speed.

    This solution keeps energy consumption low, as most of the pressure boost is powered by brine energy, with the motor supplementing the boost as needed.

    The HP-HEMI is the latest generation of FEDCO products that combine brine energy and electrical power.

    FEDCO's motor-assisted turbochargers have been successfully deployed in California and Singapore, in some of the world's largest wastewater reuse facilities.

    From mega-scale desalination to containerized and offshore systems, turbochargers power thousands of reverse osmosis installations worldwide.

    FEDCO’s Hydraulic Pressure Boosters or HPB energy recovery turbocharger leads the industry in efficiency and reliability. The HPB™ turbocharger reduces the energy consumed in a seawater RO system by up to 50%. With the HPB™, you can recover more than 80% of the wasted high pressure brine energy to reduce the size of the high pressure feed pump, lowering the motor electrical consumption.
