What is the purpose of the peri-jet educator in damage control?

The peri-jet educator is specifically designed to assist in pumping operations by enabling the efficient movement of water. Its primary function is to use the principle of a jet pump, which creates a suction effect as water is forced through a narrow opening, effectively allowing it to pull additional water or other materials into the flow. In damage control scenarios, this means that the peri-jet educator can facilitate the movement of water, including removing it from areas of flooding or transferring it for other purposes, thereby enhancing the overall effectiveness of water management in emergencies.

The ability to pass items also underscores the versatility of the peri-jet educator in practical damage control situations, where professionals might need to move not only water but also debris or other materials that could obstruct efforts to maintain safety and operational integrity on a vessel or facility. Thus, its role is crucial in supporting various aspects of damage control and emergency response efforts.
