Babcock Wilcox have supplied systems to more than 50 biomass plants worldwide. They have been developing and building complete CHP plants for utilisation of bio-fuels for many years.

Gasification solutions

Since 1996 the Harboøre plant gasifier has been operated for more than 8,000 hours a year. The engines have operated for a total of more than 16,000 hours. During 2004 the plant and especially the water cleaning system will be further optimised, and a commercial structure is in the process of being created around the technology. The technology has also been licensed to the Japanese company JFE, which anticipates contracting a plant similar to the Harboøre plant in Japan early in 2005.
