No Maintenance Conveying for the Power Industry

Fox Venturi Eductors

have been used since the 1960's to provide reliable, maintenance-free conveying of fuels, sorbents, additives, ash, dried sludge, and other many other solids when 24/7 reliability is required.

Dozens of Power Producers, Incinerators, Cement Kilns, and Cogen Plants since 1977

have used Fox eductors to reliably convey material to or from
their combustion process.

Where are they used by this Industry? What are they conveying?

We can group the hundreds of eductor/blower systems we have provided into this industry into a few major categories:

Fuel Injection:

Eductors convey fuels from a flow control or metering device (screw feeder, weigh belt, screw conveyor) at flow rates below 7 - 10 tons/hr, over distances less than 300 ft (100 m):

Coal, Coke
Dried Sludge
Waste Fuels biomass:
rice hulls, cottonseeds, bean shells,

Sorbent and Additive Injection:

Inject pulverized limestone, and other calcium-containing additives into reactors/fluidized beds for SOx control; boiler additives for inhibiting slag build-up; MgO for ash conditioning.

Limestone: Pellets, Pulverized
Lime, Calcium Carbonate, Sodium BiCarb, etc.
Calcium Carbonate, Sodium BiCarb,

Fluidized Beds

Convey all of the above, plus spent bed material can be recirculated or reinjected into the fluidized bed at temperatures up to 1500°F.
