LB 10000 F
![]()

The LB 10,000 is an extremely energy efficient reverse osmosis desalination plant designed for stationary or industrial applications. The unit can desalinate seawater water using just a fraction of the energy of conventional small plants. In fact, the Spectra LB machines are so efficient they are often powered from renewable energy. This unit is built using Spectra's revolutionary and proprietary new Spectra SP-20 Pearson pump. The plants are constructed with a rugged 304 stainless steel frame.
The LB 10,000 is available in two control configurations, either a simple analog system with a minimum of automation and cost, or a microprocessor based control system for fully automated control and monitoring. Water piping connections are made with flex hose and "camlock" fittings for ease of installation and service.
The Spectra Pearson Pump
The Spectra Pearson Pump is a breakthrough pump design. This unique high pressure pump combines feed stream pumping and energy recovery into a single unit. The "Energy Recovery" feature of the Pearson Pump takes the energy entrained in the brine reject stream from the Reverse Osmosis membranes and recaptures it, dramatically increasing the overall efficiency. The system does not require continuous monitoring and pressure adjustment as it stays inherently in balance at all times, providing a constant product flow and recovery ratio. The product flow can be controlled via the variable speed drive to the motor.
Having a fixed recovery ratio is critical for brackish water applications as it prevents operators from tampering with the recovery ratios and damaging the membranes. The Spectra Pearson Pump is manufactured from engineered composites and super duplex stainless steel for extreme corrosion resistance.
