ENGINEERED FOR THE APPLICATION

Performance depends on motive flow and system conditions

Eductors use the energy of a motive fluid to induce suction flow and combine the streams without a separate mechanical pumping element inside the equipment.

Equipment definition depends on motive-flow conditions, suction conditions, discharge requirements, fluid properties and the mixing or recirculation objective of the application.

01
Motive Flow Available flow, pressure, temperature and fluid properties provide the driving conditions for the equipment.
02
Suction Suction-fluid conditions and the required induced flow form part of the hydraulic definition.
03
Discharge Downstream pressure and system requirements define the operating condition to be satisfied.

APPLICATIONS

Fluid-driven solutions for process systems

Eductors can be engineered for applications where motive-fluid energy is used to induce flow, promote circulation or mix process streams.

Mixing Combining process streams using motive-fluid energy.
Recirculation Promoting circulation within process systems or vessels.
Entrainment Inducing a secondary stream through the hydraulic action of the motive fluid.
Process Integration Equipment definition according to connections, hydraulic conditions and system requirements.
