VANLUBE PROCESS EXPANSION

Matrix provided the civil, structural and mechanical design for a major addition to the existing Vanlube process at Vanderbilt Chemical's Murray, Kentucky facility. The product was a NFPA 30 Class 1B flammable liquid requiring special design considerations for firewalls, escape routes and equipment placement. The project consisted of a process area, packaging area, tank farm and truck load-out facility. Mechanical design included heating and proper ventilation per NFPA guidelines. Matrix also provided all of the complex grounding details and electrical classification drawings to satisfy the NFPA guidelines.
