Carbon Capture in Canada | Making Hydrogen History | Fabric Filters

Collaborating with Canada to Confront Climate Challenge with Carbon Capture

B&W has been awarded a contract by Varme Energy to conduct front-end engineering and design for Canada's first waste-to-energy plant with carbon capture and sequestration. This study is an important step to advancing the development of this plant that will help reduce landfill waste while providing clean, reliable energy.

Making History and Hydrogen in our Back Yard

In a recent interview, Chief Technology Officer Brandy Johnson discussed B&W's newest commercial demonstration plant featuring BrightLoop^TM technology, just a short drive from our HQ. When complete, the plant will be capable of producing up to 5 tonnes of clean hydrogen each day while efficiently capturing and sequestering carbon dioxide.

B&W's Fabric Filter Technology: a Cut Above the Rest

Fabric filters (baghouses) have emerged as the most preferred -- and effective -- technology over the past 30+ years to address particulate emissions in flue gas. B&W participated in the first U.S. utility fabric filter installation in the 1960s, and has installed hundreds since then, with more than 30 of those installed on units 500MW and greater.

People Spotlight: B&W Renewable Manufacturing and Engineering Teams

Our dedicated teams ensure quality and excellence are built into everything we do. After months of planning, B&W Renewable manufacturing and engineering personnel oversaw the factory acceptance testing of two new DynaDischarger® ash extractors at ZCCZ in the Czech Republic.

Project Spotlight: Palm Beach Renewable Energy Facility

Miami's NBC6 news recently featured the Palm Beach Renewable Energy Facility in Florida -- which utilizes B&W's advanced steam generation and environmental technologies -- to highlight the environmental and economic benefits of waste-to-energy facilities for nearby communities.

Asked&Answered

Q. Why are some industrial boilers designed with elevated drums?

A. This design is used for drum retention times of 5 minutes or more from normal water level to low water fuel cutout and/or where shipping limitations exist as it allows for a more symmetrical load.
