Matrix PDM Engineering provided the engineering services to the Department of Defense to construct a thermal energy storage tank in Ft. Meade, MD. The project consisted of a thermal energy storage tank (77’ x 37’ x 10’) with an octagonal pipe diffuser, designed for a 4,000 ton/hour demand of the chiller building.
The engineering effort was made in six phases:
- Engineering design of the thermal energy storage system consisting of the tanks and diffuser including design of the structural, mechanical, piping, heat transfer and hydraulics
- Project engineering support towards coordination with the client, construction region, fabrication shop, and engineering groups
- Erection and detail fabrication drawings for shop and fieldwork
- Welding and QA/QC support
- Testing and performance support
- Technical support during project execution
- Developed specifications for engineering equipment along with procurement of scrubbers, flare system, RTO, control system equipment, reverse osmosis water system, balance-of- plant instrumentation, and various storage tanks with pumps
- Overall project management; on-site field design support for piping, electrical, and I&E; construction management; and loop checks
