The contracts will require the company to design, manufacture and operate a biomass power plant in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England.

B&W Vølund’s consortium partner, Interserve Strategic Projects, will construct the plant.

The company will equip the proposed biomass plant with a B&W Vølund-designed multi-fuel boiler with a DynaGrate fuel combustion system, a dry flue gas desulfurization system.

Upon completion in third quarter of 2017, the plant will generate around 40MW of electricity by burning waste wood.

Babcock & Wilcox Company Global Power Division senior vice president and general manager Paul Scavuzzo said: "The market for biomass power and waste-to-energy technologies in Europe continues to be strong, and B&W is well-positioned to meet the demand for reliable, clean energy solutions. This is B&W’s fourth major renewable energy project announced in the European market in the last seven months."

B&W Vølund will also provide operations and maintenance services for a period 15 years, once the plant is commissioned.
