PUMP ENGINEERING, INC.

Centrifugal pumps
Advanced Technology Hydraulic TurboCharger
Gas Processing
Low Pressure TurboCharger
High Pressure Turbo Charger
HALO TurboCharger

Pump Engineering Inc provides energy recovery turbochargers: Hydraulic TurboCharger for sea water reverse osmosis, High Pressure TurboCharger for gas processing, and Low Pressure TurboCharger for brackish water reverse osmosis


Pump Engineering Inc (PEI) manufactures specialty liquid handling pumping and energy recovery equipment. The Research and Development team have come up with patented and proprietary designs for high speed and high pressure centrifugal pumps and turbines. A few of the designs are parallel disc suction inducer, shroud drag reduction idler discs, Hydraulic TurboChargers, and high speed single stage pumps.

Pump Engineering Inc primary products are a line Hydraulic TurboChargers (HTC II) for the Reverse Osmosis, Desalination, Natural Gas and Hydrocarbon Processing Markets, and a line of integral gear driven, high-speed pumps (HPG) for the above mentioned markets.



Pump Engineering Inc manufactures products including Advanced Technology Hydraulic TurboCharger-HTC AT, Low Pressure TurboCharger, High Pressure TurboCharger and HALO TurboCharger.

Advanced Technology Hydraulic TurboCharger (HTC AT)

The Advanced Technology Turbocharger represents a technological breakthrough in Reverse Osmosis energy recovery performance.

Advance turbo machine design software, 3D CAD and CAM software plus 5 axis machining enables Pump Engineering Inc to custom design and manufacture complex geometry impellers and casing flow passages that have resulted in Turbo’s efficiency increases of 40% or more.

The Advanced Technology Turbocharger recovers hydraulic energy from the high pressure concentrate (brine) stream in the reverse osmosis (RO) process and transfers that energy to a feed stream. That feed stream may be seawater going into a single stage RO membrane block, or it may be first stage brine stream being boosted in pressure for a second stage membrane block for further recovery of permeate. This unique approach offers many advantages to the RO designer and users.

Advanced Technology Turbocharger Background

Like the previous generation PEI Turbos, the Advanced Technology Turbocharger transfer pressure energy from one liquid stream to a second liquid stream. However, with the use of new technology the Advanced Technology Turbocharger does this energy transference much more efficiently. The Advanced Technology Turbocharger consists of a pump impeller section and a turbine rotor section. Both pump and turbine sections contain a single stage impeller or rotor. The turbine rotor extracts hydraulic energy from the brine stream and converts it to mechanical energy. The pump impeller converts the mechanical energy produced by the turbine rotor back to pressure energy in the feed stream. Thus the Advanced Technology Turbocharger is entirely energized by the brine stream. It has no electrical, external lubrication, or pneumatic requirements.

The turbine rotor depressurizes the brine while extracting the energy in the form of high speed rotational torque. The brine, depressurized up to 5psi (brine exhaust can be any value, even hundreds of psi) is exhausted to the discharge piping.

It is readily apparent that the reduced discharge pressure of the high pressure pump will have a large effect not only on reducing operating cost, but also on reducing both initial capital and maintenance cost.

Also note, the Turbo eliminates the brine control valve, which is another major expense and maintenance item in Sea water reverse osmosis plants. Further note, that the Turbo is mechanically independent of the high pressure pump. Thus the Turbo can be used with any type of feed pump and without any modifications to the pump, motor, or base. The Turbo is more than just energy recovery. The Turbo, which incorporates a pump with a turbine into a single unit, opens many new possibilities for the RO designer.



Pump Engineering Inc involves in the entire manufacturing process, research and development, machining and fabricating, assembly, testing and after sales servicing from its factory and headquarters in Monroe, Michigan, USA.

Pump Engineering Inc’s products are mainly designed for hydraulic energy recovery and address the major issues facing the gas processing designer and user including design simplicity, efficiency, reliability, maintainability, ease of field repair, and versatility.

Pump Engineering Inc sells and services on a worldwide basis from its headquarters in the US and through manufacturer representatives and agents in countries of principle markets.

Energy Recovery for Gas Processing

Recovery of the hydraulic energy in liquid-based gas processes has always held promise for improving the economics of plant operation. However, no energy recovery turbine (ERT) has combined the simplicity, low cost,and reliability of the PEI Hydraulic TurboCharger. Pump Engineering, Inc. has developed a revolutionary energy recovery device that will be equally appreciated by the OEM and the end user; the Hydraulic TurboCharger or TURBO. With three U.S. patents and other patent applications pending in the U.S. and other countries, the Hydraulic turbocharger represents advanced technology in energy recovery for gas processing.

Proven Around the World

Hundreds of Hydraulic TurboCharger `s are operating around the world in services similar to gas processing. Locations include the United States, Middle East, Caribbean, Canary Islands, and East Asia.



Low Pressure TurboCharger

Through the Low Pressure TurboCharger, the Reverse Osmosis OEM can obtain the advantages of interstage pressure boosting low pressure two stage Seawater and Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis systems and energy recovery at an affordable price.

Interstage Pressure Boosting Benefits:

  • Lowest energy consumption rate
  • Balance flux rates
  • Reduce fouling potential of the 1st stage
  • Increased 2nd stage feed pressure compensates for higher osmotic pressure - providing higher quality product water
  • Zero maintenance cost
  • Low installation cost
  • Features:

  • Lowest energy consumption rate
  • Balance flux rates between 1st and 2nd stages
  • Reduce fouling potential of the 1st stage
  • Increased 2nd stage feed pressure compensates for higher osmotic pressure - providing higher quality product water
  • Greatly reduced price - about 1/2 of PEIís sea-water Hydraulic TurboCharger II models
  • Zero energy cost for interstage pressure boosting
  • Saves capital cost - LPT replaces brine control valves.
  • Zero maintenance cost - no shaft seals, product lubricated bearings insure years and years of zero maintenance trouble free service
  • Very low installation cost - no electrical feed or controls
  • Both Turbine and Pump pipe connections can be oriented in a wide range, making piping installation easier and less costly
  • Patented Technology 2 Stage Reverse Osmosis System


  • Gas Processing

    Energy recovery is not limited to the water and desalination industries. The High Pressure TurboCharger is designed for gas processing applications.

    Designed specifically for hydraulic energy recovery, the High Pressure TurboCharger addresses the major issues facing the gas processing designer and user including design simplicity, efficiency, reliability, maintainability, ease of field repair, and versatility.

    The High Pressure TurboCharger takes the rich amine stream from the contactor and depressurizes it with a high-speed hydraulic turbine. This turbine replaces the pressure throttling normally done by the contactor's liquid level control valve. Attached to the turbine shaft is a single stage centrifugal pump impeller. The complete rotor is mounted entirely in a single casing, thereby eliminating costly, maintenance intensive shaft seals. The High Pressure TurboCharger is placed downstream of the high-pressure pump and boosts the pressure of the lean amine going into the contactor.

    Pump Engineering Inc provides energy recovery turbochargers for seawater and brackish water reverse osmosis desalination and gas and hydro carbon processing. PEI's Hydraulic TurboCharger for sea water reverse osmosis, High Pressure TurboCharger for gas processing, and Low Pressure TurboCharger for brackish water reverse osmosis provide increased plant capacity, reduced capital costs, and obtain energy savings.

    Energy recovery can be obtained for Sea Water Reverse Osmosis desalination systems through the use of the Hydraulic TurboCharger. The Reverse Osmosis Energy Savings Calculator in www.pumpengineering.com shows your yearly energy recovery with a HTC installed. Pump Engineering Inc patented technology is now available for brackish water and ultrapure water processing through the Low Pressure TurboCharger.
