Stop Venting Steam: A Textile Mill Recycles Waste Steam with Thermocompressors
Many textile mills still vent low-pressure exhaust to atmosphere—those big white “steam clouds.” That’s avoidable energy loss. A Jetomat steam thermocompressor (also called a steam jet ejector / steam jet compressor / thermo vapour recompressor) captures that flash steam & recompresses it back into the process. Below is a practical, numbers-first walkthrough of how one textile plant eliminated visible venting, cut boiler fuel, & simplified its steam & condensate loop.
The Science of Thermocompression Explained
Most plants still reduce steam pressure with a valve & dump flash steam through traps or vents. That’s simple—but wasteful. The idea behind thermocompression is even simpler: don’t throttle—recycle. Use a small amount of high-pressure steam to pull in low-pressure vapor/flash & re-pressurize it back to a useful level. The result is steadier heating systems, better heat transfer, & saving energy—often in the double-digits
Stop Throttling, Start Recycling: Steam Ejectors vs. Pressure-Reducing Valves
Pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) drop pressure & throw exergy away. Steam jet ejectors recycle that energy by entraining flash steam & returning it to the process.
Result: saving energy (often double-digit %), fewer moving parts, & steadier heating systems
No More Steam Traps: Simplifying Steam Systems with Jetomat Technology in Paper Industry
Jetomat steam jet ejectors replace inefficient throttling valves and steam traps in paper dryers, recovering flash steam and improving heat transfer for 15–32% steam savings.
This simplifies the system, eliminates trap maintenance, boosts production speed, and cuts boiler feedwater and chemical use by up to 80% — delivering fast ROI and long-term reliability.
Jetomat transforms steam systems from wasteful and maintenance-heavy to energy-efficient, reliable, and high-performing — with measurable ROI and operational improvements in both paper and textile industries.
Beyond Control Valves: Drum Dryers Save Energy with Steam Jet Ejectors
Traditional steam systems in textile dryers waste energy through throttling and condensate loss; Jetomat steam jet ejectors solve this by recovering and recompressing flash steam.
Jetomat improves energy efficiency (15–30% savings), eliminates the need for traps and valves, and enhances drying consistency and speed.
Real-world textile plant retrofits showed reduced steam consumption, improved temperature uniformity, and increased throughput — all with lower maintenance and simplified systems.
