Air Ejectors utilize the energy in compressed air for their operation and can be put to use to create vacuum conditions at their suction inlets. The generated vacuum is used to suck the vented gases, vapours and fumes and transport them to a safe location for disposal.

Air Ejectors designed for venting application have large suction capacities and can suck large amount of gases while consuming relatively less compressed air. (Read more)

Ballast Eductors are Liquid Eductors that utilize the energy in pumped water to suck water from the tanks and pump it out from the outlet.

Ballast Eductors are able to handle high suction lifts and often suck water even from a 8m suction lift. This is helpful in removing water from the tanks even from the lowermost levels.

Benefits of Ballast Eductors in Ballasting Operation

• Capacity to provide high suction lifts helps in stripping the tanks to the lowermost levels.

The lowermost region inside a ship is referred to as the bilge area. Rain water that cannot find a way off the deck, Water from leakages, sanitation system and disposed water is made to collect in this Bilge area and is referred to as Bilge.

The bilge area houses tanks for collecting the Bilge and the level of Bilge in these tanks need to be controlled. Once excess water gets collected it is pumped out of the Bilge with the help of Bilge Eductors (Read more)

Ballast Eductors are Liquid Eductors that operate on the basis of the jet venturi principle Ballast Eductors utilize the energy in pumped Crude to suck Crude Oil from the tanks and pump it out from the outlet.

Most importantly Ballast Eductors are self priming in nature and unlike Oil Pumps do not require any separate priming action. This enables Ballast Eductors to be started directly even in case of low Crude levels in the Crude Tanks. (Read more)

The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004 (BWM Convention), entered into force globally on 8 September 2017.

The BWM convention’s new rules states that all new ships need to be incorporated with Ballast Water Treatment systems

Later on an amendment in 2019 extended the regulation to existing ships (Read more)

Ballast tanks are integral part of large ships. The Ballast tanks are periodically filled and emptied in order to maintain the Ships’s stability and draft. The process of filling the Ballast Tanks is known as ballasting while the emptying process is known as De-Ballasting. Large ships use a combination of Ballast Pumps and Ballast Eductors to perform the Ballasting & De-Ballasting operations.

Ballast Pumps are typical large capacity Centrifugal Pumps and require the suction line and pump casing to be full of water before start-up. (Read more)

Chemical Tankers are specialized ships used to transport various Chemicals throughout the world. Many of these chemical are a specialized cargo and needs careful handling due to its flammability and tendency to ignite.

That’s why loading and storage of Chemicals onboard the Chemical Tanker is done as per set guidelines and procedures and vacuum plays an important role in it. Water Eductors are essentially Liquid jet Vacuum Ejectors that operate on the basis of the jet Venturi principle. (Read more)

Fresh Water is an essential requirement on ships that sail the high seas. Due to lack of any source of fresh water while out in the ocean ships generate fresh water by distillation od sea-water. These machines are known as fresh water generators. The ship’s pumps pump sea-water to the freshwater generator To reduce energy requirements fresh water generators use waste heat from the ship’s engines or boiler to distil sea-water. (Read more)

LNG Tankers are specialized ships used to transport Liquified Natural gas (LNG) throughout the world. LNG is a specialized cargo and needs careful handling due to its very low temperature and tendency to ignite.

That’s why loading and un-loading of LNG is done as per set guidelines and procedures and vacuum plays an important role in it.

Water Eductors are essentially Liquid jet Vacuum Ejectors that operate on the basis of the jet Venturi principle.
