Indirect Pumping of Nuclear Waste
Steam and Gas Jet Ejectors to indirectly transfer Nuclear Waste
Steam, Air or Nitrogen can be used to motivate an Ejector to create a vacuum within a transfer vessel to draw in liquids / slurries. Steam, Air or Nitrogen is not in direct contact with the fluid being pumped.
Once the volume of liquid reaches a preset level in the transfer vessel the Ejector is switched off. The vessel contents can then be simply drained by gravity to the discharge point. This systems is usually used for transferring small quantities of suction fluids.

Gas is not an effective medium for directly entraining and pumping liquids. It can only be used as the motive fluid for entraining and pumping small quantities of liquids / slurries over short distances.
Transvac can also undertake a design study to assess the viability of using an Ejector for a specific application.
