WTE Boiler Upgrade With Water-Cooled Air Zones – Shetland Islands

B&W Renewable Service provided upgrade design, engineering and components for an energy from waste boiler which included new Inconel®-cladded water-cooled wear zones, air-cooling system, secondary air system, new feeding hopper, and combustion control system.

WTE Boiler and Furnace Upgrades - Eeklo, Belgium

B&W Renewable Service provided engineering, manufacturing, delivery, construction advisory services, commissioning, testing, operator training, and project management for new feeding systems, grates, riddlings and slag handling systems, water-cooled furnaces, combustion air system, support burners and hydraulic system for the plant’s two identical WtE lines.

Replacement of Economizers 1, 2, 3, and 4 - Odense, Denmark

B&W Renewable Service dismantled old and installed, tested and commissioned four new economizers on a waste-to-energy line at Fjernvarme Fyn.

Furnace / Boiler Upgrade - Leirvik, Faroe Islands

Babcock & Wilcox Renewable Service upgraded the furnace and replaced the hot water boiler at Leirvik waste-to-energy plant in the Faroe Islands. The plant dates back to 1989 and was originally designed for 2.5 tons of waste per hour. The purpose of the plant upgrade was partly to increase the capacity of the plant and to extend the service life. The capacity was raised to 3.5 t/h, 12 bar and 140 °C and is expected to extend its useful life.

Panel Walls and Economizer Replacement - Uppsala, Sweden

The B&W Renewable Service delivery included project management, engineering, procurement, manufacturing and replacement of an economizer for a waste-to-energy boiler (Line 1) in Uppsala, Sweden. Also included in the project was to replace panel walls including cladding with Inconel® 625 on site.

Coal to Biomass Fuel Conversion - Linköping, Sweden

The B&W Renewable Service scope of supply included project management, engineering, design, manufacturing, delivery, disassembly, installation, commissioning, testing and documentation for conversion of an existing boiler (Line 1), from coal to biomass combustion (wood chips and waste wood). After the conversion to biomass, the boiler can deliver 93 tons of steam per hour at a steam temperature of 475 °C and pressure at 56 bar.

Economizer Replacement, Line 3 - Högdalen, Sweden

Babcock & Wilcox Renewable Service provided detail design, engineering, procurement, manufacturing and replacement of the existing economizer at Högdalen waste-to-energy boiler in Stockholm, Sweden.

Panel Wall Replacement, Line 4 - Gärstad, Sweden
