Burmeister & Wain Energy A/S (BWE) is to supply a grate fired biomass boiler for the new straw-fired power plant of Brigg Renewable Energy in the UK. The plant is scheduled for start-up early in 2016.

The contract is being delivered by BWE in cooperation with Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor (BWSC) of Denmark – the main contractor for design and turnkey supply of the plant.

BWE and BWSC have previously worked together on the Sleaford biomass plant (pictured) in the UK. The plant is now in the commissioning phase.

The biomass power plant in Brigg is of the same type and is able to burn straw and up 50% wood chips, with a generation capacity of 40MWe.

BWE claims to be a world leader of the straw firing technology for biomass power plants. The company has common roots with BWSC in the old B&W shipyard, which was founded in Copenhagen 175 years ago.
