The InPipe HydroXS® Energy Recovery System.
The InPipe HydroXS energy recovery system replicates the functionality of a control valve, creating precise pressure management and flow control. Instead of burning off the differential pressure, it creates renewable energy. This efficiency reduces operating costs, saves water, reduces carbon emissions, and extends the life of your infrastructure. The smart-control technology allows for real-time data collection for vastly improved verification.
Here’s how it works:
By monetizing this wasted pressure into electricity, you are making water more available, reliable, and affordable for your company and your customers. From a single HyrdoXS unit to a multi-unit, system-wide approach, the more you install the greater the impact on reducing energy costs, saving water and meeting your sustainability goals.
Benefits of turning water into Power.
Produces efficient, renewable energy.
Easily installs as a bypass onto existing pipeline.
Reduces carbon footprint.
Standardized, turnkey product.
Extends the life of infrastructure.
Creates an additional revenue stream.
Features and Specifications.
Unlike alternative custom-designed micro-hydro solutions, HydroXS is an end-to-end, standardized, turnkey product with advanced data management tools.
Real-time actionable data.
InPipe’s Flow and Pressure Management and Energy Recovery Dashboard provides real time 24/7 hydraulic information so you can track the impact of your NRW and Sustainability initiatives.
HydroXS Applications.

Installation Photo Questions.
We received these questions from engineers and operations managers on a recent InPipe Energy HyrdoXS installation photo. Please reference the value key and use your cursor roll-over question marks.
Q: Can you explain how the valves and microturbine are integrated and supported?
A: All the components in the HydroXS are combined flange to flange and supported by pipe supports within the enclosure for easy access and maintenance.
Q: What is this connection for?
A: This is for connecting a temporary pump. It included at the request of the customer.
