B&W Clean Power Production Case Studies

Alunorte CFB Steam Generator

The steam produced by the CFB boiler, in conjunction with the existing steam generation units, will fulfill the needs of the alumina production process in a safe, reliable and efficient manner.

Tanjung Jati B Units 1 and 2

This installation of environmental equipment at the Tanjung Jati power plant includes low NOx burners, a wet FGD system and electrostatic precipitators.

AG Processing Inc. CFB Boiler

Coal-fired internal recirculation circulating fluidized-bed (IR-CFB) boiler from outlet of coal bunkers to outlet of tubular air heater.

Spiritwood Station Plant — North Dakota, USA

Combined heat and power plant will provide process steam for an adjacent malt plant and will normally generate approximately 56 MW net of electricity for the regional transmission grid.

Weston Unit 4 Plant — Wisconsin, USA

B&W installed DRB-4Z® low NOx burners and overfire air, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) NOx removal system, a dry flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system, a pulse jet fabric filter particulate collector and a powdered activated carbon injection system for mercury removal.

Hawthorn Unit 5 Plant Rebuild — Missouri, USA

An explosion during a maintenance outage on February 17, 1999, destroyed the original Hawthorn Unit 5 boiler. In August 1999, B&W was released to design, supply, erect and commission a complete replacement boiler on an accelerated schedule. The new boiler began generating electricity in June 2001, only 22 months from project commencement.

Shenzhen Energy Environmental Engineering — Shenzhen, China

B&W was selected to design a Vølund® waste-to-energy (WtE) combustion system and boiler for Shenzhen Energy Environmental Engineering Co. The 5,600 tons per day plant is among the world’s largest and was completed in 2020.

Waste-to-Energy Technology — Amager Bakke / Copenhill Plant

Copenhagen’s state-of-the-art Amager Bakke sets new standards for environmental performance, energy efficiency and waste treatment capacity.

Waste-to-Energy Technology — Skærbækværket / Skaerbaek Plant

Babcock & Wilcox Renewable (B&W) designed, manufactured and commissioned two biomass boilers for the Skærbækværket power plant in Denmark. The project allows the combined heating and power plant to supply approximately 60,000 households with clean and reliable district heating and electricity while reducing carbon emissions.

Waste-to-Energy Technology - Måbjergværket

Måbjergværket is the first CHP plant in Denmark to use a fuel combination consisting of waste, wood chips, straw and natural gas. Måbjergværket supplies the approx. 55.000 inhabitants of the cities of Struer and Holstebro with direct heating.

Waste-to-Energy Technology — Nordforbrænding Plant

New combined heat- and power-producing WtE line designed for burning 10 tonnes of waste per hour increases energy efficiency from 70% to 99%.

WtE Technology — Likeng II Plant in Guangzhou, China

Babcock & Wilcox Vølund’s license partner Grantop (Guangzhou Environment Protection Investment Co. Ltd.) has completed the Likeng II waste-to-energy plant in Guangzhou, China. The plant is one of the largest Chinese waste-to-energy plants and it is specifically designed for Chinese waste. This includes the waste characteristics with high moisture and low calorific value.
