WICKLIFFE, KENTUCKY PETROLEUM COKE DENSI-FEED™ SYSTEM
June 2, 2007
Matrix was awarded a complete turnkey contract for engineering, equipment supply, and installation of a single discharge storage silo and petcoke feed system for NewPage Corp. in Wickliffe, Kentucky. The system is capable of unloading both truck and rail to fill the silo and co-fired petcoke with natural gas on a KFS burner.
Matrix provided the turnkey installation packages and on-site construction management for civil/foundation, structural, mechanical and electrical contracts. As a result, startup for this project was completed 2 months ahead of schedule in May 2007. Completing this in record time saved the mill over $200K during a time of high natural gas prices.
