Energy Recovery (NASDAQ:ERII) (NASDAQ: ERII) is a pioneering technology company specializing in the design, manufacturing and deployment of energy recovery devices for industrial fluid-handling applications. Headquartered in San Leandro, California, the company is best known for its proprietary Pressure Exchanger™ (PX®) products, which capture and transfer energy in high-pressure processes, most notably in seawater and brackish water reverse osmosis desalination plants. These devices significantly reduce energy consumption by exchanging pressure between waste brine and incoming feed water, providing a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for water-stressed regions.
In addition to its core desalination portfolio, Energy Recovery has expanded into adjacent markets such as oil and gas, chemical processing and food and beverage, offering a suite of turbochargers, expansion engines and pumping systems. These products enhance the efficiency of hydraulic fracturing operations, natural gas processing and other high-pressure fluid systems. The company’s modular designs and scalable manufacturing processes allow it to serve projects ranging from small municipal facilities to large-scale industrial installations worldwide.
Founded in 1992, Energy Recovery has grown from a Silicon Valley startup into a global energy efficiency leader with offices and service centers across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Its technologies have been integrated into dozens of desalination plants and industrial facilities on six continents, often in partnership with leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firms. The company went public in 2008, further accelerating its research and development efforts and international expansion.
Energy Recovery is led by a seasoned executive team and board of directors with deep expertise in mechanical engineering, renewable energy, water treatment and international business development. The management group focuses on continuous innovation, strategic partnerships and customer support, ensuring that clients benefit from optimized operational performance, reduced carbon footprints and long-term cost savings.
