VAPOR RECOVERY & EMISSIONS REDUCTION SOLUTIONS
Ejectors
WHAT IS AN EJECTOR?
Ejectors use the energy of a high pressure fluid to entrain and compress a low pressure fluid.
​
Ejectors are also known as ‘Eductors’, ‘Surface Jet Pumps’ or ‘Velocity Spools’.
​
Ejectors Are Compressors!
​
-
No moving parts
-
Zero maintenance
-
Often utilize ‘waste’ energy
-
Fast-track project time
-
Do not trip or fail
-
Light & compact
-
Zero emissions
-
Universal Design
