Progress Toward Long-term Storage of Zero-Carbon, Renewable Energy
B&W signed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)in pursuit ofa long-term thermal energy storage system that would allow power producers to store solar or wind energy, enablingcontinuous, reliable, grid-scale power.
B&W received two contracts to upgrade a plant’s existing combustion equipment, supplying a B&W AireJet®low-NOx (nitrogen oxides) combustion systemand other equipment to reduceemissions and improve efficiency.
B&W’s Vice President of Global Engineering, Brandy Johnson, was recently interviewed for an article by Enlit Asia covering biomass and waste as viable renewable energy sources to help combat climate change. She also discussed other challenges and opportunities for power providers to lessen the environmental impact of greenhouse gases..
A large Midwest refinery awarded B&W a project to replace its FCC carbon monoxide (CO) boiler with a waste heat recovery unitto increase unit reliability and lengthen run time between outages. Did it work? The unit has been continuously operating fouryears without an outage or performance issues.
B&W published the first edition ofSteam/its generation and usein 1875.To this day, it is the most comprehensive study of steam power available and is used as a textbook throughout the world.
