Diamonized® Feed Tubes Case Study

Premature packing wear from normal cycling caused excessive steam leaks in the sootblower feed tubes located in the boiler’s superheater. A solution was needed that would extend the life of the feed tubes and minimize maintenance.

Submerged Grind Conveyor Case Study

Platte River Power Authority’s Rawhide Energy Station, northwest of Wellington, Colorado, is among the most efficient plants in the western U.S., averaging an equivalent availability factor of more than 90 percent and an average capacity factor of nearly 90 percent. The plant generates and transmits power to homes and businesses throughout its owner-communities in Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont and Loveland, Colorado.

Open-Bottom Bubbling Fluidized-Bed Technology Case Study

Bubbling fluidized-bed (BFB) systems are attractive when wide fuel flexibility is required, and for firing high moisture and lower heating value fuels. B&W’s solution – an open-bottom bubbling fluidized-bed unit, was the first such B&W design in North America.

Multi-fuel combined heat and power plant project included an SNCR, semi-dry flue gas cleaning with fly ash system and residual silo.

Waste-to-Energy Technology Case Study

The DynaGrate® combustion system is the result of more than 40 years of development. The air-cooled grate is ideal for the incineration of both domestic and industrial waste because of the high efficiency combustion, excellent utilization of energy and good bottom ash quality.

Biomass-Fired CHP Plant Case Study

The building of the combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Assens is part of the political 1993 biomass agreement aimed at converting all district heating plants larger than 1 MW into biomass-based CHP plants. It has the capacity to supply nearly all of the town’s 5,400 inhabitants with combined heat and power.

Junckers Industrier A/S is Denmark’s largest wood processor and manufacturer. The factory processes more than 500,000 tons of logs into solid wood parquet flooring and tabletops annually. In July 1996, Junckers Industrier A/S contracted with Babcock & Wilcox Vølund A/S (B&W Vølund) for the building of a new multifuel-fired combined heat and power (CHP) plant.

Alberta’s high-quality oil sands deposits are a major contributor to Canada’s economy and North America’s energy needs. Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) was selected to help advance one site’s responsible development and efficient production of its estimated 4.6 billion barrels of recoverable bitumen resource.
