Engineering Group
A leading international technology position
The main strategic aim of our Engineering Group at Babcock & Wilcox Vølund is to develop a leading international technology position for our main products:
We operate in an extremely competitive market where the key parameters are price and technology. Our goal is to supply a modern, reliable technology which fulfills the requirements and minimises risks for investors, developers, and operators.
Training, developing and maintaining competent technical staff
We are proud of our staff. To ensure a dynamic engineering team, we are focusing on maintaining and attracting highly qualified technical staff who can master advanced engineering tools.
Our objective is to reflect and support this strategy. Our Engineering Group is divided into four departments - there are approximately 80 members in the group. Our more than 70 years of accumulated know-how and the many different work areas make Babcock & Wilcox Vølund a challenging and interesting workplace.
Maintaining our leading position
Our strategy is the continual development of our key technologies in order to be among the technology leaders in the market.
Combustion grate, furnace and boiler systems cover a substantial part of our product range. The Engineering Group is constantly working with product development projects in order to improve our present technology and maintain our leading position in waste-to-energy and biomass systems.
Our research and development is concentrated in the following areas:
- Advanced computer modeling of combustion systems and boilers - Computational Fluid Dynamics - CFD tools applied to waste incineration processes and biomass systems
- Improvement of the water-cooled combustion grate for waste incineration
- Improvement of the water-cooled vibration combustion grate for biomass
- Use of Plant Design Managers (PDMS)
- Partner in a long-term basic research programme with the CHEC group at the Danish Technical University, DTU
