In many oil & gas facilities, produced water, injection water, seawater, amine, multiphase or other high-pressure liquids can be used to drive an Ejector. Where an existing liquid stream is available, but at a lower pressure than required by the Ejector, a booster pump can be added to boost the pressure to drive an Ejector. High pressure liquids are simply ‘borrowed’ and typically returned back to the process.
Transvac continues to improve the operating efficiency of liquid driven Ejectors, meaning that even less liquid flow is required, when compared to older, less efficient traditional Ejector designs. This continual improvement makes more projects viable, especially when only small ‘slipstream’ flows from existing high-pressure pumps are available. This is of particular importance for facilities in remote or desert climates, where for example water usage is at a premium.
