B&W Thermal Awarded Contracts Totaling More Than $15 Million for Emissions & Performance Upgrades at Taiwan Power Company Plant
September 23 2020 - 6:30AM
Business Wire
Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) (NYSE: BW) announced that its
B&W Thermal segment will design and supply industry leading
low-NOx combustion technology and an innovative pulverizer system
upgrade for Taiwan Power Company’s Taichung Power Plant in Longjing
District, Taichung, Taiwan. The contracts total more than $15
million.
Four of the plant’s boilers were supplied by B&W in the
1990s. B&W Thermal will upgrade the combustion system for one
unit, providing its custom-engineered AireJet® low-NOx burners.
B&W Thermal’s AireJet burners offer significantly reduced
nitrogen oxides levels compared to other low-NOx combustion
technology, burning cleaner, with high boiler efficiency and
improved plant heat rate. B&W Thermal will also convert the
existing pulverizer systems on two units from B&W-89 to
B&W-92 pulverizers to provide additional fuel grinding
capability and efficiency, and will also provide DSVS rotating
classifiers and associated equipment as part of these pulverizer
system upgrades.
“B&W Thermal has a long and strong relationship with Taiwan
Power Company and is pleased to provide this customer with our
latest offering in low-NOx burner technology – the AireJet burner,
which offers a proven solution to lower emissions and improve plant
efficiency,” said Jimmy Morgan, B&W Chief Operating Officer.
“As the original equipment provider for these units nearly three
decades ago, we’re looking forward to bringing new technology
solutions to this plant, and to helping our customer continue to
generate reliable and affordable power, while also reducing
emissions.”
Engineering is underway at B&W’s Akron, Ohio, headquarters,
and equipment delivery is scheduled for spring 2021.
