Eductors

eductors Model TLA Tank Eductor Model ML w/ Flanged Conns Model HG in Bronze and 316SS Eductors (also known as jet pumps ejectors, and Venturi pumps) are the most efficient way to pump or move many types of liquids and gases in the petrochemical, process, and power industries. Each ultra-smooth unit complies with ASME/ANSI B16.5 standards. The Tank Liquid Agitator (TLA), with no moving parts, can be used in a wide variety of open vessels or closed tanks. "In-tank" mounting eliminates the need for costly mounting structures above tanks, while investment costs are minimized by utilizing existing transfer pumps.

Water jet eductors utilize the kinetic energy of one liquid to cause the flow of another. Eductors consist of a converging nozzle, a body and a diffuser and resemble syphons in appearance. In operation, the pressure energy of the motive liquid is converted to velocity energy by the converging nozzle. The high velocity liquid flow then entrains the suction liquid. Complete mixing of the motive and suction is performed in the body and diffuser section. The mixture of liquids is then converted back to an intermediate pressure after passing through the diffuser.

Advantages
Self Priming
Eductors require no priming and can be used in either continuous or intermittent operation.
Simple Yet Reliable
Since the basic eductor has no moving parts to wear or break, only periodic inspection is required.
Corrosion and Erosion Resistant
Because they can be made from most materials or coated with corrosion resistant materials, eductors can be made resistant to the corrosive effects of the liquids handled and the environment. These units are furnished in materials such as: ductile iron, bronze, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, PVC, FRP, Haveg, Teflon, Kynar, and polypropylene to name just a few.
Automatic Control
Units can be adapted for automatic operation by means of a regulating spindle or a snap valve and float arrangement.
Non-Electrical
Eductors can be used in hazardous locations where electrically operated alternatives would require expensive explosion-proofing.
Easy To Install
Either threaded or flanged connections are available. Units are compact, relatively light and can be adapted to a variety of piping configurations.
Low Cost
Water jet eductors are inexpensive in relation to the work they do.
 

Their advanced design provides superior flow paths for optimum performance, while the rugged construction is your assurance of reliability on demanding applications.

They are backed by superior application engineering services, and can be supplied to meet tight delivery schedules.

In addition, they are offered at prices equal to or lower than other makers of eductors, or conventional electric pumps. See Cutaway of an Eductor
 
Advanced Design... Full ANSI Ratings

eductor with va meterJRG/JT Eductors feature an advanced design to assure flows better than those of other eductors. Unlike typical cast units, which meet only a nominal pressure rating, JRG/JT Eductors meet rigorous ANSI specifications.

All of our eductors have a smooth specified finish for critical flow paths. In comparison, sections of the flow paths in competitive cast units may be left rough to keep production costs down. Also, the mixing tube section of JRG/JT Eductors has been designed to withstand the stress to which it will be subjected. This is the point at which many other makes are weak and subject to breakage during installation. All units have wrench flats to prevent damage during installation. ( Vacuum Jet Pump Shown At Right )

  • All models full ANSI rated*
  • Superior quality cast and barstock design provides superior performance.
  • Wrench flats at pipe connections prevent damage to unit on installation and removal.
  • World Class Manufacturing - per your requirements, at prices equal to or lower than those of competitive eductors - by an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer.
  • Computer designed flow path with finishes specified to meet maximum operating efficiency.
  • *non-metal parts are not specified by ANSI.
 

Providing a smooth flow path is critical to optimum eductor performance. As a result of this feature, the motive fluid achieves more velocity through the eductor body, and this means more energy is used for pick-up of the suction fluid. Also, better flow paths in the diverging section of the eductor allow it to achieve better discharge pressures.
 
More Productive Than Electric Pumps- With Lower Initial & Upkeep Costs
JRG/JT Eductors offer many advantages over electric pumps. They feature design simplicity, without rapidly rotating parts that are subject to leakage, wear and breakage. Eductors are generally small in relation to the work they do, and they are low in cost. They are easy to install and require few adjustments. They are easy to inspect and clean, and never require lubrication. In addition, they are ideally suited for use in hazardous locations, without the need for explosion proofing as may be required with electrical equipment.
 
Better Technical Capabilities
