Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. Charlotte, N.C.; www.babcock.com) announced that its subsidiary, The Babcock & Wilcox Co., has been awarded a contract to supply emissions control equipment for a carbon black manufacturing facility in the U.S.
B&W has been commissioned by its customer to perform approximately $3 million in engineering work for the first phase of the more than $15 million project. B&W‘s full project scope includes the supply of a wet fluegas desulfurization (FGD) system, as well as the supply of the plant’s selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, including catalyst and ammonia handling equipment. The equipment will be used to control sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate emissions.
The project is B&W’s first in the carbon black sector — a non-coal industrial market with several environmental opportunities in the coming years.
The contract also calls for B&W to supply auxiliary equipment for the project. The environmental upgrade is scheduled for completion and start-up in early 2018.
