From The Leader in Clean Power Production Technologies
Energy-from-Waste Facility, Maha Sarakham, Thailand
Vølund® Waste-to-Energy Technology
This Energy-from-Waste (EfW) facility, located in the province of Maha Sarakham in central
northeastern Thailand, will feature state-of-the-art steam generation, combustion and environmental technologies from Babcock & Wilcox Renewable (B&W). Anticipated to go into service in 2025, the plant is designed to generate electricity as well as steam for industrial use.
Scope of Supply
B&W provided the combustion equipment and boiler design, including:
- DynaGrate® combustion
- Slag pusher
- Vølund® boiler design with multiple pass furnace, horizontal convection pass and economizer
- Water sootblowers
- Waste fuel feeder system
- Adaptive selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) system for nitrogen oxides (NOx) control
- Construction and commissioning advisory services
Facility Facts
- DynaGrate combustion technology chosen because of its fuel flexibility
- Waste fuel can be supplemented with refuse derived fuel (RDF)
- Plant’s single line designed to process nearly 25 t/h of waste fuel
- Plant capable of generating up to 10 MW of electricity
