B&W Clean Power Production Case Studies

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.

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.

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.

Bulleh Shah Packaging – Pakistan Biomass-Fired Power Plant

Under a licensing agreement, B&W Vølund has supplied technology to a biomass fired energy plant at the Bulleh Shah Packaging Limited paper factory. The fuel consists of residues from local wheat straw, cotton stalks, corn, rice and river grass. The plant’s steam data will be 150 t/h at 530 degrees and 98 bara: enough to secure stability in the supply of steam and power to the factory. A reliable supply of energy is rare in Pakistan. It can be both expensive and challenging for the factory when p

Biomass Technology — Margam 40 MWe Plant

This new biomass plant will be capable of processing waste wood, including contaminated wood and fuel containing metals, with no pre-treatment required. The plant will generate 40 MW of green electricity, which is enough to supply 78,000 homes.

B&W’s DRB-XCL® Burners Reduce NOx in South Africa

A major industrial petrochemical plant in South Africa needed to significantly reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions to comply with the country’s latest air quality monitoring, management and control standards. The National Environment Management: Air Quality Act required that levels be reduced to 750 mg/Nm3 for each combustion installation with a thermal rating of more than 50 MW. With levels rated at 1100 mg/Nm3, plant operators began to look at options to help achieve compliance.
