AKRON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$BW--Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) (NYSE: BW) announced that its B&W Thermal segment will design and supply industry leading low-NOx combustion technology and an innovative pulverizer system upgrade for Taiwan Power Company�s Taichung Power Plant in Longjing District, Taichung, Taiwan. The contracts total more than $15 million.
Four of the plant�s boilers were supplied by B&W in the 1990s. B&W Thermal will upgrade the combustion system for one unit, providing its custom-engineered AireJet� low-NOx burners. B&W Thermal�s AireJet burners offer significantly reduced nitrogen oxides levels compared to other low-NOx combustion technology, burning cleaner, with high boiler efficiency and improved plant heat rate. B&W Thermal will also convert the existing pulverizer systems on two units from B&W-89 to B&W-92 pulverizers to provide additional fuel grinding capability and efficiency, and will also provide DSVS rotating classifiers and associated equipment as part of these pulverizer system upgrades.
�B&W Thermal has a long and strong relationship with Taiwan Power Company and is pleased to provide this customer with our latest offering in low-NOx burner technology � the AireJet burner, which offers a proven solution to lower emissions and improve plant efficiency,� said Jimmy Morgan, B&W Chief Operating Officer. �As the original equipment provider for these units nearly three decades ago, we�re looking forward to bringing new technology solutions to this plant, and to helping our customer continue to generate reliable and affordable power, while also reducing emissions.�
Engineering is underway at B&W�s Akron, Ohio, headquarters, and equipment delivery is scheduled for spring 2021.
