Hi Arne and Christine, we're working to add more information about IPER online. In the meantime, I'd be glad to help answer your questions. Would it be easier to talk directly (steven.pepe@ge.com)? Thanks, Steve

GE new system
Hello. I was at Singapore water week where GE announced their new Integrated Pump and Energy Recovery (IPER) system IPER.  The literature about the system says that it is a major engineering breakthrough that overcomes a significant technical obstacle for larger desalination facilities by reducing the energy demands associated with pumping water by at least 10 percent. They also informed that IPER system is an Integrated Pump and Energy Recovery device for  seawater reverse osmosis system. What my understanding says is, IPER is a highly efficient desalination pump, based on PD technology. Differ to the  existing PD pumps, the water displacement cylinders are driven  by a highly efficient hydraulic pump and cylinders, with less vibration and wear and tear. Somewhere in  Bahamas, GE has installed a pilot IPER system to further demonstrate the efficiency and reliability of the technology. I tried to collect some more literature about it but could find any for detail analysis.
