The agreement allows Alderley to sell Energy Recovery’s products in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Iraq and Iran.

Energy Recovery has planned to solidify its presence in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. It began to advance towards this strategy in 2015 when the firm commissioned its first energy recovery device for gas processing, an IsoGen turbogenerator, within one of Saudi Aramco's larger facilities.

Energy Recovery president and CEO Joel Gay said: “This agreement is yet another step toward realising and unlocking the value of our long-term strategy, moreover evidence of the continued evolution of Energy Recovery's business model to that of a licensor of differentiated and disruptive technology. 

“In early 2015, we explicitly prioritised the GCC for the deployment of our IsoBoost and IsoGen technologies within gas processing and pipeline applications, this a function of the then pending economic malaise within the North American midstream and upstream and more importantly, the untapped energy density throughout the oil and gas infrastructure of the Middle East.

"These proof points of early adoption inexorably lent to a comprehensive corporate development effort to identify and engage the next licensing partner for the company, Alderley."

“Our focused go-to-market strategy yielded success by way of the maiden installation of an Energy Recovery device within one of Saudi Aramco's larger facilities in the first quarter of 2015, followed by securing the largest purchase order in the company's history for multiple IsoBoost units approximately one year later. 

“These proof points of early adoption inexorably lent to a comprehensive corporate development effort to identify and engage the next licensing partner for the company, Alderley.”
