Proserve is currently involved in water desalination upgrade project in the red sea to increase the SWRO plant capacity from 500 M3/D to 1500 M3/D by utilizing 2 each PX 300 energy recovery devices. The purpose of the project is to increase plant capacity and reduce specific power consumption. The plant is currently consuming 6.2 KW/M3 and the target is to reach 2.8 KW/M3. The project is planned to be finished at end of May 2013 and will result in total power saving of 2,100,000 kWh /year.
The project might be copied to similar existing plants to maximize the benefits of power saving in the time where Egypt is currently suffering from power shortage.
