SPRINGFIELD, OREGON PETROLEUM COKE DENSI-FEED™ SYSTEM

Matrix implemented an engineering and equipment supply contract for a storage silo and petcoke feed system for Weyerhaeuser in Springfield, Oregon. The system consisted of a 180 ton storage silo and a variable feed system specifically designed for the discharge of ground petcoke. A variable rate blower was used to transfer the petcoke approximately 350 feet to the existing “coke-ready” burner. All controls and display panels were integrated into the mill’s existing DCS system. Matrix provided the civil/structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering for the project.  System startup was conducted in December 2006.
