Definition

 Eductors are a kind of jet-type pump

that do not require any moving parts
to be able to pump out a liquid or gas
from a certain area which make use
of their structure to transfer energy
from one fluid to another via the
Venturi effect.
Structure
 The pump has an injector chamber
with a narrow shaped nozzle or
tapered jet that is located inside the
chamber and points axially towards
the exhaust chamber to increase the
pressure of the motive fluid as it
enters the eductor, at the bottom of
this nozzle is an opening that is used
to suck in any form of fluid or other
substance that needs to be extracted
from a certain environment.
Parts
Concept

 The suction happens due to Venturi effect

that creates a drop in pressure at the tip of
the nozzle due to the fast flowing motive
fluid which has gained kinetic energy due to
the tapered shape of the nozzle. This
difference in pressure causes the desired
fluid to be sucked into the eductor and
mixed into the flow stream to be guided out
of the eductor.
Venturi Effect
Purpose

 Eductors are used in applications that are

vulnerable and could cause explosions when
exposed to standard electric or internal
combustion powered pumps, applications
involving extraction of high volumes of debris
which could damage the screw or blades of
regular conventional pumps. Therefore as eductor
jet pumps do not make use of any moving
components, they can be an ideal choice to
extract the debris.
Uses

 Pumping Liquids
 Pumping Gases
 Heating Liquids
 Solids Transport
 Tank Agitation
Liquid Motive
Pumping Liquid
 Typical eductor applications include:
 Draining sumps.
 Pumping in areas where an electric pump would
present an explosion hazard.
 Boosting the NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head)
of a pump.
 Pulling an acid or base into awater stream for
dilution purposes.
Steam Motive
Pumping Liquid
 For draining sumps, where electrical lines are
not available.
 For drawing water from ponds and warming it
as it is being supplied to processes.
 For heating process fluids in-line.
 For cooking slurries in-line.
 For heating reactor jackets.
Liquid Motive
Pumping Gases
 To aerate a liquid to reduce the BOD (Basic
Oxygen Demand) of the fluid.
 To exhaust vapors or gas from aroom.
 To evacuate a vessel.
 To scrub fumes from a gas.
 To inject air, ozone, chlorine or other gas into a
process liquid.
 To create Vacuums
Steam Or Gas Motive
Pumping Gases
 To lower the boiling point of a vessel, saving
heating costs.
 To produce a vacuum for filtration processes.
 To prime pumps and vessels.
 To prime siphon lines.
Mixing

 To provide agitation of a vessel.

 To control shear during agitation
