FEDCO HPB-130 (HPB130) HPB Hydraulic Pressure Booster Turbocharger

The FEDCO HPB-130 (also written HPB130) is a hydraulic pressure booster (HPB) turbocharger for seawater reverse osmosis. The HPB-130 captures high-pressure brine energy via a centrifugal turbine and uses it to boost feed-water pressure, recovering 80-88% of the available energy at lower capital cost than isobaric pressure exchangers.

FEDCO HPB-130 vs ERI PX

The HPB-130 has lower capital cost and better tolerance for particulate-laden brine than ERI's isobaric PX devices, but slightly lower efficiency (80-88% vs 97%+). Choose HPB-130 when:

Brine has higher particulate or is variable in chemistry
Lower capital cost is priority over peak efficiency
Existing system uses centrifugal pumps and HPB integrates easily
