B&W Clean Power Production Case Studies

Skærbækværket / Skaerbaek Power Plant - Biomass

Babcock & Wilcox Renewable (B&W) designed, manufactured and commissioned two biomass boilers for the Skærbækværket power plant in Denmark. The project allows the combined heating and power plant to supply approximately 60,000 households with clean and reliable district heating and electricity while reducing carbon emissions.

Amager Bakke / Copenhill

Copenhagen’s state-of-the-art Amager Bakke sets new standards for environmental performance, energy efficiency and waste treatment capacity.

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.

Hawthorn Unit 5

An explosion during a maintenance outage on February 17, 1999, destroyed the original Hawthorn Unit 5 boiler. In August 1999, B&W was released to design, supply, erect and commission a complete replacement boiler on an accelerated schedule. The new boiler began generating electricity in June 2001, only 22 months from project commencement.

Weston Unit 4

B&W installed DRB-4Z® low NOx burners and overfire air, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) NOx removal system, a dry flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system, a pulse jet fabric filter particulate collector and a powdered activated carbon injection system for mercury removal.

Great River Energy Spiritwood

Combined heat and power plant will provide process steam for an adjacent malt plant and will normally generate approximately 56 MW net of electricity for the regional transmission grid.

AG Processing CFB Boiler

Coal-fired internal recirculation circulating fluidized-bed (IR-CFB) boiler from outlet of coal bunkers to outlet of tubular air heater.

Tanjung Jati B Units 1 and 2

This installation of environmental equipment at the Tanjung Jati power plant includes low NOx burners, a wet FGD system and electrostatic precipitators.

Alunorte CFB Steam Generator

The steam produced by the CFB boiler, in conjunction with the existing steam generation units, will fulfill the needs of the alumina production process in a safe, reliable and efficient manner.

Prairie State Generating Company

The boilers burn coal from a mine adjacent to the power plant. Electricity produced is dedicated to supply eight Midwestern-based public power utilities serving customers across nine states. The design of these boilers was modified to adapt to the requirements of the Prairie State Energy Campus project, including a change in fuels from Powder River Basin sub-bituminous coal to Illinois bituminous coal.

Dry Fork Station – Wyoming, USA

This installation was completed at the Basin Electric Power Cooperative for the Wyoming Municipal Power Agency and includes environmental equipment and Dry Bottom Ash System.
