Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (B&W; Charlotte, N.C.; www.babcock.com) says that a joint venture (JV) including its Denmark-based subsidiary, Babcock & Wilcox Vølund A/S, has been awarded a contract to design and build the Teesside Renewable Energy Plant near Middlesbrough, England. B&W Vølund also was awarded a separate contract to provide operations and maintenance services for the plant. B&W’s portions of the two contracts total more than $190 million.
B&W Vølund, through its U.K. subsidiary and a JV with Lagan Construction Group Ltd., has contracted with developers Eco2 Ltd. and Temporis Capital to build the 40-MW waste-wood-fired biomass power plant for Port Clarence Energy Ltd.
The project scope includes a boiler and environmental controls designed by B&W Vølund and its Götaverken Miljö AB subsidiary, including a dry fluegas desulfurization system (dry FGD), fabric filter baghouse, continuous emissions monitoring equipment and a DynaGrate fuel combustion system. The plant is designed to burn 34 ton/h of waste wood.
Project engineering is currently underway and construction is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2018. B&W Vølund will operate the plant under a 15-year contract.
