About FEDCO USA

Committed To Your Success...

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 manufacturing 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 product lines are unmatched throughout the world in quality and performance in the seawater RO market. We have installed over one 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 the importance of 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 SWRO. 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. We also design and manufacture advanced pumps for aviation and space applications. 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!

About Our Founder...

In the early 1980's, Eli Oklejas was chief R&D hydraulic designer and head of the R&D lab at Union Pump Company. He was assigned the task of testing a piston-type RO energy recovery device. After dealing with several failures and being frustrated by the overall system complexity, he proposed developing a turbocharger device to boost the feed pressure booster using brine hydraulic energy, however, the idea was not pursued.

Eli left Union Pump to co-found Pump Engineering, Inc. where he served as president and he led the effort to develop turbochargers for RO applications until his departure in 1996. He founded Fluid Equipment Development Company, LLC, in 1997 to develop enhanced turbocharger units and high pressure SWRO pumps. This effort culminated with the introduction of the Hydraulic Pressure Booster (HPB) and the MSS series of high pressure feed pumps. Eli continues to serve as president of FEDCO as well as leading the development of several new pump and energy recovery product lines.
