Fluid Equipment Development Company (FEDCO)
800 Ternes Drive, Monroe, Michigan, United States

Fluid Equipment Development Company (FEDCO) was founded in 1997 to develop new fluid machinery to reduce the cost of reverse osmosis desalination. The results included patented concepts, highly integrated design, superior production software, and sophisticated manufacturing processes. Our efforts culminated into several lines of energy recovery turbines and high-pressure feed pumps uniquely suited for seawater reverse osmosis desalination.

FEDCO's Monroe, MI HeadquartersFEDCO's product lines are unmatched in quality and performance in the RO market.

We have installed over three thousand units around the world. Our reverse osmosis equipment is designed and built to meet the specific challenges of seawater and brackish water applications. We know the importance of reliability, low capital cost, and easy operation.

FEDCO is the world's largest supplier of complete HP Pump and ERD packages for systems between 100 and 3,000 m3/day in seawater reverse osmosis.

We are the developers of the HP-HEMI™ ERD and control system for mega-scale SWRO systems, as well as the world's first low-cost integrated pump-ERD for brackish water RO. Additionally, FEDCO's Monroe facility operates the largest pump and ERD test system dedicated to SWRO systems in the world.

FEDCO products are designed to increase your profit.
