Most large seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plants built before 2002 incorporated turbine-type energy recovery devices (ERDs) that were connected with a shaft to the high pressure pump. Both the pump and the ERD had best efficiency points corresponding to specific flow rates and pressure

Desalination 221 (2008)

The world increasingly depends on desalting seawater or brackish water for producing suitable and sustainable supplies of potable water for local populations, tourism, agriculture and industry. The energy cost component of desalinating seawater has historically been a large factor (up to 70%) of the
