Improve Your Process With Spray Technology Fabrications

Use BETE spray lances, injectors, and quills for tank cleaning, gas cooling and conditioning, NOx control, chemical injection, or wash water injection.

Our spray injectors create stable conditions for the safe and efficient operation of downstream plant components.  Avoid wall wetting, pipe corrosion, costly repairs, and unscheduled outages from occurring with spray injection solutions from BETE.

Spray Lances and Injectors

Spray lances include a spray nozzle and can be used to spray a single fluid or multiple fluids into a vessel, pipe, duct, or tower. Spray lances and injectors are ideal when more precise control of the spray pattern, droplet size, or flow rate is required for spraying into a process stream.

Injection Quills

Injection quills do not contain a nozzle and are standard for applications requiring precise spray control into a pipeline.

Why Use Retractable Lances?

Retractable lances allow you to withdraw your nozzle, isolate it from the process, and remove it entirely for servicing without taking your process offline. Once you have serviced, cleaned, or inspected the nozzle –reattach it to the system, open the isolation valve, and insert it back into the process.

Such features are often critical for petrochemical facilities where process outages are costly. For example, specific applications involved in petroleum production contain very corrosive particles. The ability to remove the nozzle for replacement while keeping the process online offers tremendous cost savings.

For smaller retractable lances, maintenance can manually insert and withdraw the lance pipe. BETE offers a robust retraction mechanism that effortlessly moves the lance from extended to inserted and back for larger sizes or any size where automation or ease of use is required. A simple cordless drill can power the unit, making this design a favorite for maintenance crews. The mechanism is flexible in its configuration, allowing alternate electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic power sources to drive the unit.
