BWBC is a joint venture (JV) between Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group and Beijing Jingcheng Machinery Electric.
The two Spiral Wound Universal Pressure (SWUP) boilers will be the first 1,000MW SWUP B&W boilers in operation in China.
Contract activities for the Zhoushan project are underway at BWBC’s facility in Beijing and delivery is scheduled for mid-2012.
Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group president and COO Richard Killion said that with the demand for energy in China at an all-time high, B&W’s ultra-supercritical boilers offer its customers a solution to meet that demand.
"By generating more energy from less fuel, our boilers also help customers produce power more efficiently, economically and in a more environmentally friendly manner," Killion said.
