The company aims to minimise CO2 emissions, NOx, SOx, and particulate matter (soot and fuel ash).
BWSC also cooperates with a range of leading technology partners to provide the optimum abatement solution for each application.
Diesel and gas engine-based power plants: maximum efficiency and minimum maintenance
BWSC’s engine-based diesel and gas power plants are based on diesel, heavy fuel oil (HFO) or gas. The power plants are characterised by maximum efficiency, long lifespan with minimum maintenance and competitive fuel consumption.
BWSC maintains close relationships with internationally recognised engine manufacturers, which enables the company to select the most suitable technology for each specific project.
Pioneering biomass power plant solutions
Biomass plants from BWSC are based on CO2 neutral and self-regenerating natural resources such as wood chips, straw or other organic materials.
The biomass plants are designed to optimise available biomass feedstock by maximising energy conversion and ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the overall facility.
The electrical output ranges from 15MW to 60MW and the plants can be configured for combined heat and power (CHP) production.
