Steam jet liquid ejector vacuum system for chemical applications
Achieve reliable vacuum under challenging conditions with a versatile steam jet liquid ejector system, designed to handle dirty and corrosive environments while minimizing steam consumption.
Generates Vacuum for Critical Chemical Processes
The Steam Jet Liquid Ejector Vacuum System, engineered by GEA, is designed for demanding chemical and pharmaceutical environments where precise vacuum generation is crucial. It uniquely combines steam and liquid ejector technology to tackle corrosive and ATEX applications, offering reduced steam consumption with a single steam consumer setup. This system excels in batch operations, supporting processes such as evaporation, degassing, and deodorizing. With options for materials like stainless steel or Hastelloy, it ensures durability and resistance to harsh chemicals. The equipment integrates smoothly into existing systems, often requiring no barometric installation, and supports semi-automated operation through manual controls. It’s suitable for producing pharmaceutical intermediates, fine chemicals, and solvent recoveries, with a potential to lower CO2 emissions due to its efficient energy use. Maintenance is minimal, as the design includes no moving parts, prolonging lifespan and reducing downtime. Additionally, GEA provides robust engineering support for custom configurations.
