Environmental protection and emission reduction
Our plants are known for their low emissions
With increasing demands on environmental protection, emission reduction has become a crucial issue.
The Babcock & Wilcox Vølund furnace designs offer you very low emissions. For example, NOx and CO emissions from our plants are exceptionally low.
Emission reduction
Emission from waste incineration plants is subject to government control. The EU and other authorities around the world have imposed a number of statutory requirements on the burners installed. These requirements partially ensure minimal residence time at high temperature in order to destroy dioxins in the flue gas.
The flue gas is always cleaned by complex filters before being emitted to the atmosphere.
The typical emissions standards for a waste-fired power plant in EU are much lower than for fossil-fired power plants.
