Industries we proudly work with:
Chemical
The chemical sector involves a wide range of products and processes that can benefit from Croll-Reynolds Co. vacuum technology. Ejector vacuum systems are static devices well-suited to extract or remove unwanted gas, liquid, or vapor within sensitive process environments
Vacuum systems are commonly found in fractionating hydrogenation, filtration, drying, and solvent recovery processes. Maintaining similar process operations would be difficult or near impossible without steam jet components as it contributes to quick and manageable chemical production.
Due to its vacuum-intensive nature, some chemical plants require single, two, three, and four-stage ejector systems. Overall, the goal is to maximize efficiency while minimizing the capital cost & cost of operations.
Oil and Gas
The oil and gas industry also relies on vacuum equipment, such as our vacuum ejector systems and hybrid ejector-liquid ring systems. These systems usually are composed of very large ejectors mounting on top of a vacuum distillation tower and are installed for creating medium to high vacuum levels. With these systems, plant operators can achieve optimal vacuum distillation, where heavier oils are fractionated to produce high-quality petroleum products.
Types of oil products produced through the refining process:
- Kerosene
- Diesel
- Gasoline
- Jet fuel
- Naphtha
Vacuum distillation units equipped with distillation columns serve a critical function in the refinery industry. Superior-quality vacuum ejectors are the key component in the operation of the distillation column and are implemented within the refining process to deliver a higher resource yield.
Power Plants
Power plants can generate electricity from a number of different resources including Natural Gas, Geothermal, Solar thermal, or nuclear energy. Within power plant processes, steam is generated and comes into contact with turbine blades, energy is harnessed and exhausted into a turbine condenser under vacuum. The vacuum acting on the main turbine condenser is crucial to the optimal efficiency and energy yield from the turbine Our vacuum equipment is designed to continuously maintain the necessary vacuum level and can do so for years without interruption or downtime related to equipment maintenance. By investing in the right ejector equipment you can be sure to reduce capital costs while increasing efficiency and output.
Edible Oil
Ejectors facilitate the oleochemical processing of natural fats and oils and is utilized in many oil deodorization processes. However, it has other uses, such as vacuum hydrogenation, and bleaching separation of materials. These components are found in numerous countries where edible oils are processed and refined. .
Vacuum systems guarantee energy-saving and reliable vacuum creation while adhering to various environmental protection regulations to mitigate impacts to the natural environment where natural oils and fats are processed.
Food and Beverage
Food and beverage manufacturing involves different processes while adhering to safety standards. Our vacuum equipment is employed in various stages of processing, including:
- Batch fermentation
- Sterilization
- Pasteurization
- Food core chilling
Industrial vacuum treatments support consistent quality of food and beverage product standards. It can also help extend shelf life, maximize nutritional value, and support a wide range of product development processes that help bring the world’s favorite consumables to market.
Water Treatment and Desalination
Ejectors can be utilized to inject chemical solutions or gasses into wastewater for oxidation and treatment purposes. Vacuum applications can be used in sedimentation, fermentation, and evaporation to remove solid and dissolved contaminants and harvest valuable trace elements that are to be separated from the water being treated
Ejectors can function to recycle spent process water within closed-loop systems, eliminating the need for additive treatments and reducing the risk of this process water becoming exposed or contaminated by chemicals, industrial byproducts, and heavy metals within the process stream. Greater workplace and environmental safety can be achieved by utilizing our vacuum systems to manage water and
Aerospace
Altitude simulation creates a vacuum environment to mimic high altitude conditions, which is essential for aerospace and aircraft testing. Our range of ejectors and vacuum systems can make this possible by lowering the pressure inside testing chambers.
Our products can support research and development in the aviation and aerospace field to simulate different altitude profiles. Outer space exploration constantly evolves, and ejectors can provide a reliable vacuum system to support the development of emerging applications.
Flavors and Fragrances
Vacuum systems are used in the extraction and concentration processes to protect active ingredients and ensure flavors and fragrances remain intact. These systems can protect against material degradation, oxidation, and heat impact, which can adversely affect the integrity of the finished product.
Highly controlled conditions are essential to protect the properties that give consumer products their distinct taste and scent. With our reliable vacuum equipment, you can rest assured that the quality of your products will meet the highest standard.
Pulp & Paper
Vacuum systems are used remove excess moisture, debris, and chemicals from paper and pulp slurries. Material inconsistencies must be eliminated in the slurry stage to ensure that the final paper product is uniform. In many paper and pulp plants this process is streamlined through the use of ejectors.
Emissions generated pulp and paper bleaching can also be handled by ejectors to ensure harmful substances are captured and controlled for environmental safety.
Textile
The primary textile application for our vacuum processing systems is polymerization, which removes byproducts and other chemicals from reaction mixtures to create the synthetic fibers used in the textile industry.
Furthermore, these are also used to recycle or recover monomers, increasing the sustainability and overall resource efficiency within these facilities.
Steel
Ejectors facilitate the oleochemical processing of natural fats and oils and is utilized in many oil deodorization processes. However, it has other uses, such as vacuum hydrogenation, and bleaching separation of materials. These components are found in numerous countries where edible oils are processed and refined. .
Vacuum systems guarantee energy-saving and reliable vacuum creation while adhering to various environmental protection regulations to mitigate impacts to the natural environment where natural oils and fats are processed.
