DIGESTER WARM WATER LOOP - REPLACEMENT BOILER

Nov 01, 2009

Matrix Engineering provided the mechanical and process design for the installation of a replacement boiler for the Paducah McCracken Joint Sewer Agency. The JSA had been operating an older existing boiler that had fallen out of compliance with the state boiler code and was in need of repair.


We determined that the previous boiler had been insufficiently sized; and on top of that we were faced with spatial constraints on an already tightly fit layout. We were able to determine that a 2.4 MM BTUH natural gas hydronic compact boiler was required to aid in maintaining the proper temperature within their digesters to satisfy the biological process. We were also able to install this within the confines of the old boiler envelope to satisfy the operation and maintenance requirements. The new natural gas boiler provided a superior turndown of 4:1 over the previous firebox and was also an improvement in the realm of energy use, operating at 87% efficiency.

LUMP DISSOLVE FEEDER

P2O5 LUMP DISSOLVE FEEDER

01 Dec, 2021
Matrix provided conceptual and hard mechanical design of a heavy duty screw feeder for metering phosphorus pentoxide (crystallized phosphoric acid) into a dissolve tank. Due to the hot reaction during hydration in the tank (resulting into very hot phosphoric acid) the variable speed screw feeder consisted of a 316L S/S 12 inch diameter auger and 1/2 inch thick trough. A special dump hopper with automated closing lid was designed with a large grated opening and bypass chute at the inlet of the feeder. Very special design considerations were made for protecting the conveyor seals and bearings from making contact with the hot acid. Our design allowed the acid crystals or hot liquid to fall out into an isolated gap and into the tank before it challenged the seal. This was a highly successful design has virtually eliminated the huge stock piles of drummed feedback material that accumulated due to the inability to dissolve the crystallized acid safely.

MATRIX AND THE SHARK TANK EXPERIENCE

By Darren Jarvis • 03 Jan, 2021
Matrix Industrial Systems was proud to work in conjunction with AC Marine in designing and supplying critical systems for Georgia Aquarium's newest venue to experience sharks directly with the grand opening of their 1.2MM gallon Shark Tank. This attraction allows you to submerge into the tank within a shark cage and begin an underwater journey traversing the pool as it is suspended and moved by a hoist/monorail system. Breathing air for the participants is supplied through an umbilical tethered to the cage and connected to a specialized Breathing Air Control System (BACS). Matrix supplied and installed this system with its umbilical as a turnkey project. Matrix and AC Marine were proud to be guinea pigs (or should I say SHARK BAIT) on the maiden voyage!
