CLASSIFIED AREA PACKAGING BIN VENT FILTER

Matrix Engineering was asked to help solve material storage problems due to the hygroscopic nature of Carbopol.   Matrix provided the mechanical engineering necessary for designing a new bin vent and DRY nitrogen purge arrangement that vented the hopper only when necessary and cleaned the filter bags only when dirty.  Matrix also provided a bin discharging aeration system for eliminating and/or preventing bridging problems. In addition, Matrix provided the control sequence and electrical engineering necessary for operation of the bin vent and aeration discharge system in a Class I Div 2 Group D and G environment.
