Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Energy services provider Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises Incorporated (NYSE:BW) (B&W) (Charlotte, North Carolina) continues to see strong business from retrofits at coal-fired power plants, but also is finding work at facilities with alternative fuel sources, such as biomass and waste-to-energy. Industrial Info is tracking $3.26 billion in active projects involving B&W, virtually all of which are in the Power Industry.
B&W recently reported a jump in first-quarter earnings when compared with the same period last year, driven largely by an increase in new- build steam projects. The company's backlog also remains strong, at $2.32 billion.
The largest project, by far, is Shanxi Shentou Power Generation Company Limited's (Shuozhou, China) $1.2 billion addition of units 3 and 4 at Shuozhou Shentou No.1 Power Plant in Shuozhou, China. B&W's Chinese subsidiary, Babcock & Wilcox Beijing Company Limited (Beijing, China), is performing design-build services for the project, which involves building two ultra-supercritical coal-fired boilers to support two 1,000-megawatt (MW) steam turbine generators, which will bring the facility's total capacity to 3,200 MW. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
The second highest-valued project is American Electric Power Company's (NYSE:AEP) (AEP) (Columbus, Ohio) $389.9 million Unit 2 retrofit at Flint Creek Power Station in Gentry, Arkansas. AEP plans to install an Alstom dry flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) scrubber (with an activated carbon injection system (ACIS)), an Alstom pulse jet fabric filter baghouse, and overfired air and low-nitrous oxide burners onto B&W coal opposed-fired dry bottom boiler to reduce sulfur dioxide and particulate matter. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Babcock & Wilcox Volund, a European subsidiary, is serving as contractor at Viridor Waste Management Limited's (Taunton, England) $289 million Oxwellmains Waste-to-Energy CHP Plant in Dunbar, Scotland. The 30-MW facility is designed to utilize mass-burn incineration and dispose of 1,250 tonnes per day of municipal solid waste; components include a fuel boiler with a steam turbine generator set. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
B&W also is serving as technology provider for Consumers Energy's (Jackson, Michigan) $260 million Unit 3 retrofit at the J.H. Campbell Generating Station in West Olive, Michigan. B&W's Spray Dry Absorbers (SDA) will be installed at the 871-MW Unit 3 as part of a sulfur dioxide retrofit; other components will include Amec Foster Wheeler plc's (NYSE:AMFW) (London, England) coal opposed-fired dry bottom boiler, in compliance with the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and the Clean Air Interstate Rule. Consumers Energy is a subsidiary of CMS Energy Corporation (NYSE:CMS) (Jackson). For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
