MOBILE PULVERIZED FUEL FEED AND DELIVERY SYSTEM:
In an uncertain economy and volatile energy market we believe that FUEL FLEXIBILITY is your best insurance on the bottom line of profitability. Let Matrix help you save money with the important principle that our existing customers enjoy. With FUEL FLEXIBILITY you don't have to give up your current convential fuels, you simply add another weapon in your arsenal to remain profitable. With the Matrix MTU, you don't have to devote precious capital to determine the feasibility of switching fuels by answering all your questions up front. Once the pros and cons are determined with actual demonstrated profitability on your site, then you can make an educated decision on capital investment for a permanent system. This is the advantage that Matrix can offer you in moving toward this "high ground" position of FUEL FLEXIBILITY . You would be surprised at how little our clients have spent to save millions. Depending on fuel price differentials and fuel feed rate, it is certainly possible with the Matrix MTU to offset the capital requirement for implementing a permanent fuel conversion project prior to actually commissioning the permanent system!!
Matrix MTU's are available for short and long term leasing arrangements. Contact Matrix today to answer your questions or request us to visit your site.
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 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!
