PLANTWIDE UTILITIES BOILER - DEAERATOR REPLACEMENT

Matrix Engineering performed the mechanical and electrical engineering for process piping and instrumentation required for a new de-aerator tank.   Matrix prepared the engineering specification for the deaerator and assisted with the vendor/tank selection process. Once a vendor was selected, Matrix prepared the equipment arrangements and piping layouts for steam, boiler feed water and make-up water. On the process and instrumentation side, Matrix prepared the PFID as well as instrument loops.

The deaerator had a storage capacity of around 5,000 gallons with a minimum rate of 200,000 lbs/hr of delivery for steam production.

We also designed and specified the level indication and control on the vessel. We had to contend both with maintaining the existing pneumatic controls as well as redundant level with a modern analog output controller.
