Måbjergværket is the first CHP plant in Denmark to use a fuel combination consisting of waste, wood chips, straw and natural gas. Måbjergværket supplies the approx. 55.000 inhabitants of the cities of Struer and Holstebro with direct heating.
B&W supplied the complete incinerator with state-of-the-art Waste-to-Energy technology which included waste crane, feed chute, feed grate and five-section combustion grate, combustion air system, auxiliary burners, ash conveyors for slag and fly ash from the boiler hoppers, feed water pumps with controls.
This plant will supply approximately 43 MW of heat to the district heating network in Aalborg. The efficiency is approximately 100%, and the energy produced will supply some 16,000 houses with electricity, and 30,000 houses with district heating.
In Europe there is an increasing market demand for technologies capable of burning waste with high heating values. In Scandinavia it is common to burn large fractions of industrial waste including demolition wood and different types of biomass. In order to meet the periodically very high heating values, B&W developed new combustion technology that can be adapted to high or fluctuating heating values.
The Sundsvall waste-fired power plant is the first plant with B&W’s new cast water-cooled grate bars. The boiler is designed with three-vertical passes and horizontal convection part.
Forus 2's recovered energy is utilized for the inhabitants of Sandnes, Sola and Stavanger. Typically, shredding of waste can easily cost about 15 € per ton which is not needed with this B&W solution.
The Filbornaverket waste-to-energy plant in Helsingborg produces steam, district heating and electricity. The main fuel is combustible fractions of waste from households, industry and businesses. The plant uses the region’s large quantities of combustible waste to produce electricity and district heating for the local grid.
Located some 40 kilometres north of Dublin, Ireland’s first waste-to-energy plant began delivering electricity to the city’s grid in November 2011. Babcock & Wilcox Renewable (B&W) provided the boiler, combustion grate, combustion control, and selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) system.
The plant processes local residual household, commercial and industrial waste. It generates 7.25 MW of green energy, contributing to Peterborough Council’s Blue Sky project to provide sustainable energy in a smart city environment.
PBREF No. 1 was awarded the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) 2009 Large Waste-to-Energy Facility Recognition Award for outstanding performance among facilities in North America.
