Business Wire
Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) (NYSE: BW) announced today that
its B&W Renewable segment has been awarded a contract to
provide upgrades to Shetland Islands Council’s energy recovery
plant in Lerwick, Scotland, to reduce emissions and increase
efficiency.
Under the contract, which is valued at more than $3 million,
B&W Renewable will design, supply and install new, patented
water-cooled wear zones, a secondary air system, waste feed hopper
and associated equipment, and provide a control system upgrade.
The equipment upgrades, which utilize proven, patented Babcock
& Wilcox Vølund A/S technology, are intended to reduce
emissions, while also boosting the plant’s municipal
waste-processing capacity by 15 percent. The plant provides hot
water to the local district heating company, Shetland Heat, Energy
& Power Ltd., which supplies more than 1,200 local homes and
businesses.
“B&W Renewable is proud to be a leading provider of
equipment and services to the renewable energy plant fleet in
Europe and throughout the world,” said B&W Chief Operating
Officer Jimmy Morgan. “We look forward to executing this important
project and appreciate the confidence Shetland Islands Council has
shown in our clean energy technologies.”
B&W Renewable will also provide grate and boiler maintenance
services, training, start-up support and performance optimization
services for the energy recovery plant. The project is scheduled
for completion and handover to the customer in the fall of
2021.
B&W Renewable’s waste-to-energy technologies are robust and
effective energy options designed to reduce CO2 emissions and
replace fossil fuels. Technologies offered include combustion
systems, grates and stokers, waste fuel feeder systems,
water-cooled wear zones, emissions control, flue gas treatment and
more.
