PHARMACEUTICAL POWDER SPRAY DRYER BUILDING

Dec 02, 1996
Matrix Engineering provided civil, structural and mechanical design for a spray dryer facility used in the production of pharmaceutical clay.  Matrix assisted in the facility layout by coordinating the client with the spray dryer equipment manufacturer as well as the structural requirements of the seventy feet tall, 5-floor structure. We also designed a large versatile mechanical ventilation system for keeping the work environment bearable around a hot process during the summer months. In additions we engineered the sanitary dense phase pneumatic conveying systems for moving the powdered clay around the dryer facility as well as pneumatic blending to homogenize batch campaigns.

Twenty years later, Matrix was recalled to design and build a twin facility with a new spray dryer right next to this one.

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 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!
