B&W has been commissioned by its customer to perform approximately $3 million in engineering work for the first phase of the more than $15 million project. B&W‘s full project scope includes the supply of a wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system, as well as the supply of the plant’s selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, including catalyst and ammonia handling equipment. The equipment will be used to control sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate emissions.

The project is B&W’s first in the carbon black sector - a non-coal industrial market with several environmental opportunities in the coming years.

“B&W’s environmental compliance solutions can help our customers meet emissions regulations for virtually any industry, including carbon black manufacturing,” said B&W Global Power Division Sr. Vice President Paul Scavuzzo. “We appreciate the opportunity to help our customer achieve their environmental goals.”

The contract also calls for B&W to supply auxiliary equipment for the project. The environmental upgrade is scheduled for completion and start-up in early 2018.
