B&W will upgrade the plant’s existing combustion equipment, supplying a B&W AireJet® low-NOx (nitrogen oxides) combustion system and other equipment to improve the unit’s emissions and efficiency.

“As we continue to expand our business in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as other regions globally, we’re seeing an increasing number of significant opportunities to help customers reduce emissions from thermal plants,” said B&W Chief Operating Officer Jimmy Morgan. “The emphasis on clean energy technologies is global and growing, and customers in Asia and elsewhere are moving quickly to protect the environment as they generate energy efficiently and economically.”
