Vacuum Pump,Ceramic Water Ejector

CERAMIC VACUUM PUMP UNIT

The system uses a liquid ring vacuum pump, gas ejector, and mechanical booster pump as its main components. All gas-contacting parts are made from highly corrosion-resistant materials such as ceramics, glass lining, fluoropolymer, and carbon. It is suitable for use with most fluids, excluding hydrofluoric acid and strong alkalis, and effectively resolves or reduces many of the issues traditionally encountered with conventional type of vacuum pumps handling corrosive fluids.

Features

Highly Corrosion-Resistant Vacuum Generation Unit

This vacuum unit uses a liquid ring vacuum pump, gas ejector, and mechanical booster pump as its main components. All gas-contacting parts are made primarily of ceramics and other highly corrosion-resistant materials. It offers a pumping speed of up to 300 m³/h and can achieve a vacuum level of up to 0.04 kPa. Capable of handling a wide range of acidic gases, excluding hydrofluoric acid and alkaline gases. From bench-scale test plants to full-scale production facilities, it is suitable for use as a core vacuum generation unit.

Problems with Conventional Pumps

  • Oil-Sealed Rotary Vacuum Pumps

    - Maintenance costs due to oil solidification, frequent disassembly cleaning
    - Increased costs for regular oil replacement
    - Higher costs for regular pump replacement
    - Additional costs for detoxifying treatment systems upstream of the pump

  • If the liquid-adjacent part is glass lining, PTFE, or Kalrez O-rings

    - Increased oil consumption

  • Corrosion-resistant metal liquid ring vacuum pumps

    - High cost of regularly replacing components such as impellers
    - Increased costs for installing detoxifying treatment systems and wastewater processing

  • Steam ejectors

    - Increased costs for installing treatment systems for condensed water and managing wastewater

Advantages of the Highy Corrosion-Resistant Vacuum Generation Unit

  • Excellent Exhaust Performance

    By combining a liquid ring vacuum pump with 65A in/outlet port nozzle and a mechanical booster pump with 80A port nozzle, the system achieves a pumping speed of up to 300 m³/hr and a final vacuum of up to 0.04 kPa.
    It can be used as a core vacuum generation unit from bench-scale test plants to full-scale production facilities.

  • Energy-Saving, Space-Saving Vacuum Generation Unit

    By adopting partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ), which has excellent strength and toughness, in the rotating parts, the unit achieves wall thickness reduction and high-speed rotation comparable to metal vacuum pumps, resulting in high exhaust efficiency and a small, compact design.
    Compared to steam ejectors, it can operate with approximately 50% less kinetic energy and in about 30% less space.

  • Fully Instrumented Automation

    We design and manufacture fully automated units that control all operations, including pump operation, temperature and pressure detection, and valve actuation.

Main Applications

Vacuum distillation, gas exhaust / gas transfer, liquid transfer, gas absorption

Configuration and Features of Standard Units

Comparison of units without and with seal liquid circulation: For vacuum levels between 8 and 10101.3 kPa, the unit without circulation uses single-point injection as standard. The unit with circulation utilizes the pump’s generated differential pressure for self-circulation of the seal liquid, allowing for external seal liquid replenishment and minimizing waste liquid. For compression specifications, neither type includes a check valve. For vacuum levels between 1.33 and 13.3 kPa, both types can use exhaust gas as the driving gas for the gas ejector. For vacuum levels between 0.04 and 1.33 kPa, both types have gas ejector valves that can be operated manually or automatically, and exhaust gas can be used as the gas ejector’s driving gas.

CERAMIC WATER EJECTOR

CERAMIC WATER EJECTOR
Water Ejector

The NGK ceramic water ejector is a device that uses high-pressure water or other liquids as the driving fluid, which is sprayed from a nozzle to suction corrosive gases or liquids. It is widely used for priming corrosion-resistant pumps, transporting acidic exhaust gases, and mixing gases with liquids or liquids with liquids.

Features

  • Excellent Corrosion Resistance

    Parts in contact with the driving fluid and absorbed fluid are made of chemically resistant industrial ceramics with superior corrosion resistance and strength. The ejector can be used with most gases and liquids except alkaline solutions and hydrofluoric acid.

  • Excellent Wear Resistance

    Ceramics are highly resistant to wear, allowing for stable operation over long periods.

  • High Performance

    The nozzle and diffuser are manufactured with high precision, ensuring high efficiency and stable performance.
    Compared to other vacuum generation devices, it offers a larger suction capacity and can maintain a high vacuum level.

  • Cost-Effective

    With a simple structure and the use of relatively inexpensive ceramic materials, it is more affordable than other corrosion-resistant metal water ejectors or mechanical vacuum pumps of similar capacity.

  • Easy Installation

    Since there are no moving parts, a robust foundation is unnecessary, and it can be easily installed on steel frames or similar supports.
    It can also be installed outdoors without any issues.

  • Easy Operation

    Operation is simple, requiring only opening and closing of the driving fluid supply valve, with no complex procedures needed.

Applications

The ceramic water ejector is used as a vacuum device for handling corrosive gases, with applications including:

  • Distillation equipment
  • Evaporation and concentration equipment
  • Cooling and crystallization equipment
  • Dehydration and drying equipment
  • Deodorization equipment
  • Degassing equipment
