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.

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.

From Black Liquor to Sludge: Converting a Recovery Boiler to a Bubbling Fluid Bed

Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) has extensive experience with boiler conversions and modifications, including extensive refurbishments of older recovery boilers to BFB conversion while reusing existing buildings and ancillary equipment.

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.

Assens Fjernvarme Amba - Denmark

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.

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.

B&W’s Open-Bottom Bubbling Fluidized-Bed Technology Designed for Biomass Firing

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.
