Energy Recovery, Inc. announced the launch of its PX Q650 Pressure Exchanger, a next‑generation device that builds on the company’s proven PX technology and is designed to meet the growing demand for high‑capacity, high‑efficiency energy recovery in seawater reverse‑osmosis (SWRO) projects.
The PX Q650 offers a flow range of 250 to 650 gallons per minute—an increase of 63% over the PX Q400—while delivering peak efficiency of up to 99% and maintaining a 98 % energy‑recovery rate. The unit is engineered for a 30‑year design life, underscoring Energy Recovery’s commitment to durability and long‑term performance.
Energy Recovery is the global leader in desalination pressure exchangers, holding a majority share of the market. The new model is positioned to capture larger projects and accelerate adoption in emerging markets, reinforcing the company’s strategy to focus on its core water business. CEO David Moon said the company is “fully focused” on the water business, describing it as a “large, growing, and profitable end market.”
The launch expands Energy Recovery’s product line and supports its goal of driving future revenue growth. In its Q4 2025 earnings report, the company reported revenue of $66.9 million and a gross margin of 67.2 %, a decline of 300 basis points from the prior year, largely attributed to product‑mix shifts and tariff impacts. The PX Q650 launch comes amid these headwinds, but the company remains confident in its long‑term trajectory.
Alongside the new product, Energy Recovery doubled the ceramic component and performance warranties for high‑pressure PX models, signaling confidence in the durability of its technology and providing customers with enhanced assurance of reliability.
