Transvac Eductors (also called Liquid Jet Pumps) are an ideal method of transporting sand slurries from Separators or Cyclones as part of a de-sanding / sand washing system for the Oil & Gas and allied industries. Accumulated sand is normally fluidised; to ensure it will flow, using jets of water by-passed from the motive water supply, prior to entering the suction port of the Eductor.

Transvac sand slurry Eductors are manufactured as standard with ceramic motive water nozzles and ceramic throat inserts to resist abrasion. The body of the Eductor is available in 316L stainless steel, carbon steel, duplex steel or super duplex steel.

See Application Sheet LJP010

Transvac Gas Ejectors can be used to replace existing mechanical compressors. Requiring no maintenance and utilising available energy, from other sources existing to drive them, Ejector technology can be justified on lower CAPEX and OPEX. Plus they are also an environmentally friendly solution.

To meet the low pressures required to extract gas reserves from LP Wells, existing mechanical compressors often require re-wheeling. A Transvac Ejector can be installed in the recycle line of the mechanical Compressor to lower the pressure of LP Wells and thereby boost production.

In processing crude oil into refined products such as petrol and motor oils, sulphur must be removed. This is done chemically and it results in a concrete pit containing molten sulphur which emits hydrogen sulphide and other noxious gases. These gases are vented to a burner to prevent them escaping to atmosphere.

Transvac Steam Ejectors are a reliable, simple and low cost method of entraining the gases and discharging them to the burner. A Steam-Jacket is employed to prevent sulphur from solidifying within the body of the Ejector. In many cases, a 'start-up' Ejector is also required as part of the overall process.

Transvac Steam Jet Thermocompressors are also used on sulphur recovery plants for recovering and compressing flash steam.

Transvac has many years experience in small bubble generation. Our Ejectors are effective at creating small bubbles as part of an oil / water separation process (flotation).

Ejector Technology can be used for both CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) or EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery)

Gas injection is presently the most-commonly used approach to enhanced recovery. A gas is injected into the oil-bearing stratum under high pressure. That pressure pushes the oil into the pipe and up to the surface. In addition to the beneficial effect of the pressure, this method sometimes aids recovery by reducing the viscosity of the crude oil as the gas mixes with it.

The diagram shows the basic principle whereby Injection Water is used to motivate the Ejector, entraining CO2 or Gas. This can eliminate the need for, or boost capacity of, mechanical compressors.

In United States, the Department of Energy (DOE) has estimated that full use of 'next generation' CO2-EOR in United States could generate an additional 240 billion barrels of recoverable oil resources. Developing this potential would depend on the availability of commercial CO2in large volumes, which could be made possible by widespread use of carbon capture and storage.

Transvac Ejectors (Thermocompressors) have been succesfully used to recover waste steam as part of the SAGD process. The SAGD process is used to liquefy oil from oil sands using steam. Huge amounts of steam is used, generating considerable waste steam.

Transvac is a leading supplier of Ejector technology for energy conservation, including steam and waste gas recovery.
