B&W Clean Power Production Case Studies

Energy-from-Waste Plants, Nuuk & Sisimiut, Greenland

Babcock & Wilcox Renewable (B&W) was awarded a contract with ESANI, Greenland’s national waste management company, to deliver two waste-to-energy plants, one at Nuuk and one further north at Sisimiut. The two plants are central and key facilities in Greenland’s new waste management plan. The new unit in Nuuk will be replacing a smaller thirty-year-old Vølund systems boiler.

Energy-from-Waste Facility, Maha Sarakham, Thailand

An Energy-from-Waste (EfW) facility, located in the province of Maha Sarakham in central northeastern Thailand, will feature state-of-the-art steam generation, combustion and environmental technologies from Babcock & Wilcox Renewable (B&W). Anticipated to go into service in 2025, the plant is designed to generate electricity as well as steam for industrial use.

Kelvin Waste-to-Energy Plant, West Bromwich, England

Kelvin is a waste-to-energy (WTE) facility now under construction in Sandwell West Midlands, just outside Birmingham, U.K. When operational, it will divert 395,000 tonnes of non-recyclable household and business waste from landfill or export overseas. The residual waste will be used to generate 44 MW (gross) of baseload energy, equivalent to the needs of more than 95,000 homes.

Superheater Replacement and On-Site Inconel® Cladding – Eeklo, Belgium

Babcock & Wilcox Renewable Service (B&W) won the order for replacement of superheaters 1, 2 and 3 and on-site Inconel® cladding in the first boiler pass of IVM’s waste-to-energy line 2 in Eeklo, Belgium.

Water-Cooled Inconel® Panels in Furnace – Bolton, England

In 2021, Babcock & Wilcox Renewable Service (B&W) won the order from SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK for engineering, manufacturing, delivery and installation of new Inconel®-cladded furnace walls for the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)-owned Thermal Recovery Facility at Raikes Lane, Bolton, England.

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.

AffaldPlus, line 4 - Næstved, Denmark

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.

Waste-to-Energy Technology

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

Likeng II: 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.

I/S REFA Waste Incineration to Energy — Nykøbing Falster Plant

The I/S REFA waste incineration plant in Nykøbing Falster, Denmark is jointly owned by 13 municipalities. The company collects and treats all kinds of waste from households and industries on the two islands of Lolland and Falster, a total of about 200,000 tons/year. The majority of the waste is either combusted or recycled.

Large Capacity Municipal Solid and Industrial Waste (RDF) Line – Högdalen Plant

With a combustion capacity of 37 tonnes waste an hour (9.2 MJ/kg), the Högdalen unit is characterized by flexibility. The plant is capable of burning municipal solid waste (MSW) and industrial waste – mainly refuse-derived fuel (RDF). B&W’s supply includes a furnace/boiler with economiser, a complete ash/slag system and a system for transporting fly ash from the boiler rear pass.

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.
