Wastewater Treatment
Jet pumps and eductors are widely used in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment for their ability to handle solids, corrosive fluids, and gases — with no moving parts to maintain.
Why Wastewater Plants Choose Jet Pumps
Common Applications
Sump & Pit Drainage
Jet pumps drain collection sumps, wet wells, and secondary containment pits. Self-priming, handles solids and grit, can run dry — ideal for unattended operation.
Chemical Dosing & Mixing
Tank eductors mix coagulants, flocculants, pH adjustment chemicals, and disinfectants into treatment tanks. Uniform mixing without mechanical agitators.
Aeration & Gas Dispersion
Gas jet pumps inject air or oxygen into aeration basins and digesters. The Venturi action disperses fine bubbles throughout the liquid for efficient oxygen transfer.
Sludge Transfer
Liquid jet pumps transfer sludge, biosolids, and slurries. The open flow path handles suspended solids without clogging — unlike centrifugal pumps with tight impeller clearances.
Odor Control — Fume Exhausting
Gas jet pumps exhaust hydrogen sulfide and other odorous gases from wet wells, headworks, and enclosed treatment structures using compressed air as the motive fluid.
Digester Mixing
Tank eductors circulate anaerobic digester contents to maintain uniform temperature and substrate distribution, improving biogas yield.
