Pump Engineering, Inc., of Monroe, Michigan has undertaken the task of developing an energy recover device (ERD) that is
rugged enough to withstand the rigors of long term reverse osmosis (RO) operation, has improved efficiency to
recover energy at low pressures and flows and, importantly, can be economically purchased. Their
success has been translated into the LPT Turbo line of products. These devices are basically
stainless steel 304 or 316 in construction (lower cost and durable) and have been designed using the
latest 3D CAD and CAM computer software (high efficiency complex geometry impellers). The
turbine rotors and pump impellers are manufactured on 5 axis CNC milling machines.
This paper describes the LPT Turbo and its successful application in a number of RO plants. Data
and energy consumption for these low-pressure facilities are provided. Also, applications of the
LPT Turbos in related water treatment plants are discussed. Includes 3 references, tables, figure.
