Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) has been awarded a FEED contract for Varme Energy Inc.’s planned waste-to-energy plant in Alberta, Canada.
The project is the first of its kind in Canada, said Varme Energy COO Wayne Carey. The plant will be capable of processing up to 200,000 tons of waste per year.
As part of the FEED contract, Babcock & Wilcox will handle the engineering and design for the plant’s waste-fired broiler, emissions control and carbon capture and sequestration system.
Following the completion of the FEED, B&W will embark on the design, supply and construction of the plant’s combustion grate, boiler and economizer. B&W will also design and supply a carbon capture absorber, a sorbent regeneration system and an air quality control system for particulates, nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxides.
“B&W is committed to providing our customers around the world with advanced solutions to generate energy from waste while reducing reliance on landfills and safeguarding the environment,” B&W COO Jimmy Morgan said.
