Babcock & Wilcox’s (B&W) Denmark-based subsidiary, Babcock & Wilcox Vølund A/S, was awarded contracts totaling more than $220 million to design, manufacture and operate a biomass power plant in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England. B&W Vølund's consortium partner, Interserve Strategic Projects, will construct the plant for the developer, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. The Rotherham Biomass Plant will feature a B&W Vølund-designed multi-fuel boiler with a DynaGrate fuel combustion system, a dry flue gas desulfurization system (dry FGD) and will burn waste wood to generate approximately 40 MW of electricity. The contracts also call for B&W Vølund to provide operations and maintenance services for an initial term of 15 years once the plant is commissioned. Plant completion is scheduled for third quarter of 2017.
