LIQUID HANDLING SYSTEMS
RHODIA - SOLUTION MIXING & TRUCK LOAD-OUT
Matrix Engineering provided the concept drawings, budget estimates, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering necessary to install a mixing, storage and truck load-out facility in the Nashville, TN plant. The objective of the project was to make a solution from crystals in drums or from another liquid source in the plant. The density of the solution had a narrow acceptable range and had to be controlled accurately. The entire system was integrated to the DCS control system of the plant.
RHODIA - PLATE AND FRAME FILTER
Matrix Engineering provided the concept drawings, budget estimates, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering necessary to install a plate and frame filter press housed in its own building and an adjacent covered tank farm at the Nashville, TN plant. The objective of the project was to replace the existing rotary drum filter and centrifuges with the more efficient filter, which decreased the amount of lost product and doubled the production capability. The existing concrete bunker, where filter cake was dumped, was utilized as the base for the new building for the filter. A new tank farm was installed to service the filter with wash-water, filter supply, and filtrate tanks. The highly automated filter was equipped with a PLC controller, which was integrated to the DCS control system of the plant. The rest of the equipment was integrated with the DCS system that controls the plant.
US STEEL MINING DIVISION - COAL CRUSHING SCRUBBER SYSTEM
Our engineers provided the mechanical engineering necessary for the pump supply and return piping on a new scrubber system for a coal crushing facility near Birmingham, Alabama. The venturi scrubber required 2750 gpm at 30 psig and discharged into a 40 ft diameter mist eliminator. The primary return from the mist eliminator was a gravity drain line to a sluice settling pond over 300 ft away. A secondary forced return employed a 2600 gpm pump
