A Danish subsidiary of Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises has won a $90m contract to design, manufacture and build a waste-to-energy power plant near Haresfield, Gloucestershire in the UK.
Babcock & Wilcox Vølund A/S was awarded the contract by Urbaser and Balfour Beatty, a joint venture.
They will manage the plant’s combustion system and air-cooled DynaGrate, fuel handling equipment, steam boiler island, steam turbine-generator, water treatment system, piping, valves and air systems, burners and other plant equipment.
The facility will treat municipal, commercial and industrial waste to supply 14.5MW of electricity.
“B&W has installed more than 500 waste-to-energy and biomass units around the world,” said B&W vice president Paul Scavuzzo.
“We’re grateful that our customer recognized our experience and reputation for quality when they selected us for this important clean energy project.”
Engineering work has already started and the plant is scheduled to come online in 2019.
