This was followed by the second USC boiler in 1998, Nordjylland
The company dates back to a period when Denmarks industrial Power Station unit 3 - with a net efficiency above 47% establishing

the unit is the largest biomass boiler in the world.
In 1846 he went into partnership with Carl Christian Burmeister.
Baumgarten retired in 1861 and was succeeded in 1865 by William
Wain, and the company Burmeister & Wain was finally founded in
1872 soon becoming the largest and most important enterprise in
the iron industry of Denmark.
The boiler history of Burmeister & Wain has its origins in the
second half of the 19th century when the company supplied steam
for the industrial revolution in Denmark in the shape of marine
boilers, industrial boilers and power station boilers. Throughout
the following century, the company continued to develop the boiler
technology and in 1955 a Benson license for once-through boilers
was acquired.

The collaboration of BWE with local utilities has allowed our company to acquire direct
experience with different fuels, biomass combustion, co-combustion, high efficiency and load

Modern coal fired power stations should be able to follow demand changes rapidly and at the same time ensure reliability and availability
The Benson Technology and the developed control philosophy follow this need.
Decades of experience designing and manufacturing
once-through USC boilers
The BWE design consists in a fully drainable tower type boiler for
Ultra Supercritical installations adaptable both for the single and for
the double reheat water/steam cycle. For efficiency reasons BWE
recommends the single train air/gas flue gas path.
Using the design and operation experience from these, BWE has
developed a standard coal fired 400 MWe net USC Boiler.

Best Available Technology
The USC boiler with a PF combustion system will still be the simplest and most
efficient way of using coal for power generation.
Combustion system
The design idea of the combustion system is to establish the best possible
conditions for Low NOx combustion. The circular burners are placed in
the corners of the furnace. Above each burner are OBA (Over Burner Air)
openings, and at the top of the furnace OFA (Over Furnace Air) openings,
which together with the air split in the burners establish the air staging.
Tangential firing
Up to 6 burner levels
n*4 Low NOx BWE Circular Burners (3 air stages)
Single Burner Concept (full control of coal / air ratio)
Low Air Excess 1.15 (full load)
OBA (protection of membrane walls)
OFA (air staging)
Low NOx Combustion and a wide range of fuels
The BWE Low NOx burner can be applied for fuels in fluid,
gaseous and pulverized form.
The split ECO improves SCR operation (320 to 400 C) in full load range.
The BWE APH and GGH heat exchangers operate according to the
rotating, regenerative, counterflow principle. Heat transfer elements
placed as a matrix in an open rotor transfer heat from one gas
sector to another when slowly rotating.
The heaters are equipped with various sealing systems in order to Quad sector type APH and single train solution
minimize the leakage of air to flue gas or untreated gas to treated
gas. The secondary air section is divided into two sections embracing
the primary air section which reduces the air leakage.
This single train train design can improve the overall efficiency of
approximately 0.2%.
Improved sealing system for APH & GGH
Automatic leakage control system
In order to minimize the leakage between the gas
flows which is not beneficial for the overall plant
efficiency, BWE has developed a highly efficient
sealing system for the radial sector seal plates.
The system:
Spherical TEE
The 100% combined HP bypass and safety valves secure sufficient cooling of the RH
heating surfaces during turbine trip. Furthermore, the arrangement of the steam lines
is simplified.
The LP-bypass valves dumping the steam to the condenser normally have a capacity
Pipe routing in 3D system (PDMS) of 60-70%.
Improved design and
material development
The improvements in the steam cycle and the related development of
new materials have also been accompanied by major improvements
in the design of boilers, turbines and other main components of the
power plant.
The main design challenge in USC boilers can be found in the thick
walled steam headers, the superheaters and the furnace walls.

Boiler
The boiler of Nordjylland Power Station unit 3 is a supercritical,
once-through tower boiler of the Benson type with double reheat.
The furnace walls are designed as membrane walls with helical
tubing. By using special materials, it has been possible to design
the boiler to very advanced steam data.
The plant has a total output of 415 MWe. Of these more than 300
MWe can be achieved by biomass firing (wood pellets).

Boiler
The boiler of Avedre Power Station unit 2 is a supercritical,
once-through tower boiler of the Benson type with single
reheat. The furnace walls are designed as membrane walls with
helical tubing. By using special materials, it has been possible
to design the plant to the very advanced steam data (HP: 305
bar, 582 C and RH: 74 bar, 600 C with the biomass boiler
in operation).
All these fuels can be burned in the same burners. These are
placed at four levels in the corners of the large furnace, having
a low thermal loading. The air staging is carried out through
the burners as primary, secondary and tertiary air and above
the burners as Over-Burner-Air (OBA) as well as Over-Fire-Air
(OFA). This concept of air staging ensures the low primary
formation of NOx.
