Waste-to-energy solutions in Sweden and Norway: Babcock & Wilcox Vølund signs two contracts for approx. 100 million USD
Babcock & Wilcox Vølund has gained two new orders worth approximately 100 million USD for a new waste-to-energy plant in Helsingborg, Sweden and a new line in Stavanger, Norway.
New waste-to-energy plant for Filborna, Helsingborg in Sweden
Recently Babcock & Wilcox Vølund signed a contract for approximately 70 million USD to design and supply a waste-to-energy solution for a new plant in Helsingborg, Sweden.
The new waste-to-energy plant will be a greenfield 67 megawatt combined heat and power unit capable of burning about 220,000 tons of waste per year. The customer, Öresundskraft Kraft og VärmeAB, is wholly owned by the Helsingborg municipality.
The project scope includes a combustion system, steam boiler, electrical system, and control and monitoring system. The boiler features an advanced combustion control system including our BS technology™ water-cooled combustion grate, distinguished by its reliability and suitability for high calorific fuel. To reduce maintenance costs, the boiler design also includes water-cooled wear zones protected with Inconel.
Our subsidiary Götaverken Miljö AB will, together with Alstom Power Sweden AB, be delivering the flue gas cleaning and energy recovery systems. Read more about the flue gas cleaning solution.
The new waste-to-energy plant will produce steam, district heating and electricity and is scheduled for hand-over in early 2013.
New extension to waste-to-energy plant in Stavanger, Norway
Babcock & Wilcox Vølund has signed a contract for approximately 30 million USD to design and supply a waste-to-energy boiler for a plant in Norway.
The waste-to-energy plant, owned by Forus Energigjenvinning 2 AS, will be located adjacent to an existing heat and power plant near Stavanger in Norway.
The project scope includes the BS technology™ (now DynaGrate®) air-cooled combustion grate, steam boiler, emissions control equipment and auxiliary components. The new waste-to-energy plant will be able to burn 70,000 tons of waste per year and produce 21 megawatts of combined steam heat and power.
ETK Energitekniska Konstruktioner AB will be delivering the turbine, the electrical system, and the control and monitoring system.
The new line is scheduled for completion in May 2012.
