CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (B&W) (NYSE:BW) announced today that
its Denmark-based subsidiary, Babcock & Wilcox Vølund A/S (B&W Vølund),
has been awarded a contract for approximately $35 million to design,
supply and construct a waste-to-energy boiler for a combined heat and
power plant in Boden, Sweden.
B&W Vølund’s customer, Bodens Energi AB (BEAB), is a municipally owned
producer and distributor of electricity and heating. The boiler,
featuring a DynaGrate®
combustion grate system and with a thermal capacity of 35 megawatts,
will be added to BEAB’s existing plant and will supply steam for power
generation and district heating. B&W Vølund completed the existing Boden
facility in 2008.
“We thank BEAB for once again selecting B&W Vølund for an important
infrastructure project such as this,” said Jimmy Morgan, senior vice
president of B&W’s Renewable business segment. “Waste-to-energy
continues to be a proven, clean and reliable technology to address the
energy and waste disposal needs of our customers in Europe, and we’re
pleased to supply some of the most advanced technologies in the
industry.”
The new waste line and boiler will be capable of handling up to 13 tons
of municipal solid waste per hour and is scheduled for completion in
April 2019.
