UNITED STATES : B&W wins $43m contract to engineer US coal-fired power plant
Publish Date : 28-Dec-2011
Burns & McDonnell has awarded a contract to Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group (B&W PGG) to engineer and supply environmental equipment for a 726MW coal-fired power plant in the US. The contract is valued at $43m.
Under the contract, the company will provide a spray dry absorber (SDA) system and a pulse jet fabric filter baghouse for Interstate Power and Light Co\'s Ottumwa Generating Station in Ottumwa, Iowa. The SDA system has the capacity to control sulfur dioxide. On the other hand, the baghouse will control particulate emissions from the coal-fired plant.
Engineering work for the project has already been started by the company. It is expected to be online by May 2014.
According to Richard Killion, B&W PGG president and chief operating officer, new federal regulations, such as the cross-state air pollution rule, have developed the requirement for effective emissions control technology.
