IPER Benefits

Features

IPER is one of the most energy efficient
pumps in the world (Figure 1). Applied to desalination reverse osmosis systems, it can reduce energy costs by 50%.1

Robust FRP water cylinders

Dual-acting pistons transfer maximum energy

One button start up and shut down controls

Pre-engineered pumping system combines
flow controls, high pressure pumping and
energy recovery into one skid

100 KW Nominal Operating Power

Ultra efficient hydraulic power source

Skid mounted master control enclosure

Proven, reliable hydraulic power source that is
scalable and adaptable

Extremely low cycle rate compared to positive
displacement pumps

No additional controls, drives, pressure regulators, or flow balancing required

Modular design

Low inlet pressure requirement
