| By Gerald Ondrey

Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:BW) announced today that its subsidiary, The Babcock & Wilcox Co. (B&W; Charlotte, N.C.; www.babcock.com) and its consortium partner, Saulsbury Industries, Inc., have been awarded a contract for more than $90 million to engineer, procure and construct emissions control systems for two carbon black producing facilities owned by Continental Carbon Co.

B&W will design and supply selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems for oxides of nitrogen (NOx) control, circulating scrubbers for fluegas desulfurization, particulate-matter control and other auxiliary equipment for the units, located in Oklahoma and Alabama.

Ground was broken this week for the first project in Oklahoma. Engineering work for the first facility is underway, with the emissions control systems scheduled to come online in 2018. Installation of the emissions control system for the Alabama facility is scheduled to begin in mid-2019.
