Solution		They attached a perforated pipe to the suction inlet of a Penberthy Model LM jet, and using water as the motive, a vacuum was created sucking up the carbon dust.
Plastics Industries:
Problem		The company needed an effective means of detecting leaks in molds.
Solution		By using a Penberthy Model LM jet with the suction hooked up to the mold, they were able to generate a vacuum which detected leaks in the mold or seals.
Boat Docks:
Problem		Boats sitting in a marina during the winter months became immobilized due to ice buildup.
Solution		Using a Penberthy Model CTE, warmer water was brought to the surface preventing the water from freezing.
Food Processing:
Problem		A processor potato chips wanted to heat water in a blancher to remove potato skins.
Solution		A Penberthy Model SRH was installed at the bottom of a tank. The water draining from the tank had sufficient head pressure to mix with the steam to allow recirculation back into the tank as well as reaching desired temperature.
Water Collection Pits:
Problem		A number of businesses and homeowners needed an effective way to remove water from sump pits during flooding.
Solution		Penberthy Sump Drainer and L Series jets provided reliable methods of removing the water using no electrical power.
Mixing/Blending Applications:
Problem		A storage tank manufacturer needed to move dry solids - diatomaceous earth - into a blending tank.
Solution		Using a Penberthy Model LM with a Penberthy Washdown Hopper, they were able to mix the earth with the motive fluid and transport it into the blending tank. Once in the tank, a Penberthy Model CTE was used to provide continuous in-tank mixing.
Tank Heating:
Problem		A company needed to maintain a minimum liquid temperature in their tanks, regardless of outside ambient temperatures.
Solution		Using a Penberthy Model CTE as an in-tank heater in conjunction with a simple temperature control system, steam was mixed with the liquid when the outside temperature fell below a certain level.
Transporting Solids:
Problem		A manufacturer of silo systems for wastewater treatment that used wetting cones with powdered activated carbon needed a means of moving the resulting slurry.
Solution		By installing various Penberthy Series L liquid motive jets at the bottom of each cone, the manufacturer was able to move the slurry away using water as the motive.

Simple Jet Pump Design Offers Economical Solutions for Many Complex Process Operations!

Providing a practical alternative to more complicated and expensive methods, Penberthy jet pumps offer simple, more cost-effective ways to pump, mix or heat a wide range of liquids and gases used in the process industry. Jet pumps can operate with a wide variety of motive liquids and gases. If you recognize any of the following, you can probably use a Penberthy jet pump.

• Injector • Eductors • Exhausters • Boosters • Ejectors • Kinematic Pumps • Siphons

Penberthy jet pumps have a myriad of uses. Jet pumps not only pump liquids, they can also heat, mix and blend either in-line or in-tank. Jet pumps can evacuate gases, create a vacuum, boost suction pressures, mix granular solids with liquids and move granular solids with compressed air. In fact, you will be suprised at what a jet pump can do to solve your problem. The purpose of this section and its associated pages is to identify the many uses for jet pumps, to identify pumps for specific processing operations and perhaps recognize new ways to use jet pumps to reduct costs and optimize your plant's efficiency. Penberthy invites you to explore the possibilities of jet pump use in your operation. You might be surprised at the many ways jet pumps can help improve your company's profitability! Penberthy jet pumps can provide a practical alternative to more complex - and costly - process components when a simple, cost-effective way to pump, mix or heat is the answer to your process need. Reliable operation from a variety of power sources allow jet pumps to perform effectively on a wide array of process applications. Not only can jet pumps be used to perform singular duties such as pumping liquids to drain sumps and tanks, or heating liquids in-tank for cooking or circulating, but they can also be used to achieve these functions simultaneously. For example, you can heat liquids as they are pumped for producing scalding sprays, or mix liquids in-tank while adding a second liquid at the same time. Simple operation While Penberthy jet pumps differ in appearance, all operate basically the same way. An operating fluid under pressure enters through the inlet and travels through the nozzle -- where it is converted to a high-velocity stream which decreases the air pressure in the suction chamber, creating a partial vacuum that draws material to that area where it is entrained by the operating medium. The entrained material is then carried through to the discharge outlet and dispelled at a pressure greater than that of the suction stream but lower than that of the operating medium. Inherent reliability The reliability of Penberthy jet pumps is inherent in their simple design: no moving parts, no required lubrication, little maintenance, easy installation without special structures or foundations. All are self-priming. And all Penberthy models are available in a variety of materials to maximize worry-free service life. A choice of operating sources Penberthy jet pumps let you choose the operating source that's most convenient for your application. These include aqueous and non-aqueous liquids, steam or even compressed gas. Economical sources which may already be available at your existing facility. And possibly more accessible than another power source such as electricity.
