The Babcock & Wilcox Company (B&W) announced today that its subsidiary Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. (B&W PGG) has been awarded a contract valued at more than USD30 million to design and supply a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system for Xcel Energy’s coal-fired Pawnee Generating Station in Brush, Colorado.
The SCR system, used to control nitrogen oxides (NOX) emissions from the plant’s boiler, is the second major environmental project that B&W has announced it will execute for Xcel Energy this year. In February, B&W announced a contract to design and supply two spray dry absorber (SDA) units for sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions control at the 500MW-Pawnee plant.
“We’re appreciative that Xcel Energy has selected B&W to help it comply with the Colorado Clean Air-Clean Jobs Act,” said B&W PGG President and Chief Operating Officer J. Randall Data. “B&W‘s many decades of experience with environmental controls is unmatched in the industry and allows us to provide solutions for all of our customers’ emissions reduction needs.”
