B&W Clean Power Production Case Studies

Waste-to-Energy Technology – Örebro Kartongbruk AB

This plant is installed at the cardboard factory Örebro Kartongbruk AB, situated in Örebro, Sweden. The fuel consists partly of wet and dry fractions of waste from the cardboard factory and partly of unsorted industrial waste including plastic, wood and a fraction of uncombustible material.

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.

Waste-to-Energy Technology – L90 Esbjerg Plant

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.

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.

WtE Waste Incineration Technology — Reno Nord Plant

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.

WtE Technology — Trekantområdets Affaldsselskab I/S Plant

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.

WtE Combustion Technology — Sundsvall Plant

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.

Waste-to-Energy Technology — Forus Energigjenvinning 2 AS Plant

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.

Waste-to-Energy Technology — Filbornaverket Plant

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.

Waste-to-Energy Technology - Meath Plant

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.

Waste-to-Energy Technology — Peterborough Plant

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.

Award-Winning Palm Beach Renewable Energy Facility No. 1

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.
