B&W Clean Power Production Case Studies

Slag Conveyor - Holstebro, Denmark

B&W Renewable Service scope of supply for this project included project management, engineering, manufacturing, delivery, disassembly, installation, commissioning, testing and documentation for the replacement of the wet slag conveyor and grate siftings conveyor on both boiler lines 1 and 2 for the MEC waste-to-energy plant.

Economizer and Boiler Wall Replacement - Karlskoga, Sweden

For this project, B&W Renewable Service replaced the front boiler wall and economizers 1 and 2, as well as installed a new rapping device system for cleaning of the heating surface on a waste-to-energy plant (Line 1) in Karlskoga, Sweden. Delivery included project management, construction, design, manufacture, delivery, dismantling, installation, commissioning, testing and documentation.

Onsite Inconel® Cladding - Linköping, Sweden

B&W Renewable Service scope of supply for this project included project management, engineering, design, purchasing, construction and documentation for onsite Inconel® cladding at boiler panel walls on an existing waste wood-fired boiler (Line 3) in Linköping, Sweden. The cladding was performed in the bottom portion of the first pass, including part of the rear, left, right and front walls.

Onsite Inconel® Cladding and Combustion Air Upgrade - Sundsvall Energi AB

B&W Renewable Service won this project for onsite Inconel® cladding and combustion air upgrade at Korstaverket in Sundsvall, Sweden. The client also requested the possibility to increase the capacity of the boiler. We also performed a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model and recalculated all boiler parameters.

SNCR and Plant Upgrade of the Filborna Waste-to-Energy Plant

B&W Renewable helped WtE CHP plant in Sweden improve plant operations and reduce NOx and CO2 emissions.

Energnist Saves Costs by Moving to 18-Month Maintenance Interval

Energnist on 18-month intervals: We save three weeks every three years
Every three years, Energnist gains three weeks of operation and saves the costs of preparing for the maintenance shutdown. One and a half years between maintenance shutdowns can provide benefits if thoroughly prepared.

Fosler Solar Case Study

The world's biggest retailer called on the Fosler Solar team when they added solar to their energy needs. The results? Almost 10 megawatts of solar added to 10 locations.

Home Depot Adds Solar

When Home Depot decided to upgrade five of its locations in the Illinois area, they called on Fosler Solar for the project. 5 Home Depots = 2 megawatts of power added.

Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization Systems – Progress Energy

Babcock & Wilcox’s (B&W) wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems feature a combination of design components to provide a high level of reliability and removal efficiencies. These include B&W’s signature tray tower design to provide excellent gas to liquid contact and uniform flow distribution.

North American Pulp Mill — Diamonized® Feed Tubes

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 Helps Plant Eliminate Ash Pond

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.
