Going for Green

BWSC

 

Respecting the environment in which we live, one of our main focus areas within renewable energy is biomass and biogas solutions. BWSC continuously strives to make existing technologies even more efficient and environmentally friendly by integrating a broad variety of the most modern technologies. Our biomass and biogas plants are built on energy-efficient solutions, minimising emissions and optimizing the yield from fuels.

 

With 20 years of expertise in biogas plants, we offer locally integrated and environmentally compliant solutions. By means of the most advanced technology, our biogas plants produce both emission-free energy and utilise and improve the quality of organic waste. Our biomass plants supply energy for entire communities purely based on renewable fuels such as straw and woodchip.

 

The local sourcing of raw material avoids long-distance transportation, and the cooperation with leading suppliers guarantees highest efficiency, reliability and availability in accordance to your specific needs.

As one of the world’s leading suppliers of medium and large scale diesel engine power plants we are fully aware of our responsibility in balancing the need for power with developing environmentally sound solutions in a world where energy consumption sets new records every day.

 

Consequently, we continuously strive to make existing diesel technologies more environmentally friendly while striving for a future where clean energy sources will be the major contributing factor to continued growth and prosperity all over the word. Over the past three decades BWSC has supplied over 150 diesel power plants to more than 50 countries in the world with a total generating capacity in excess of 2,500 MW.

Secure transfer of knowhow

BWSC

 

To ensure a smooth and efficient take-over of any power plant, BWSC offers a variety of tailor-made training programs aiming at giving the staff comprehensive training of the working principles of each component of the plant. The selection of training methods is based on the specific training subjects and the participants in the course ranging from courses for specific groups to large coherent training programs involving the entire staff of the power plant. BWSC has training facilities in Denmark and Sri Lanka. The set up is ideal for mixed theoretical and practical training sessions because of the easy access to power plants for demonstration purposes.

Part of a strong international corporation

BWSC has its origin in the stationary engine division of Burmeister & Wain (B&W), which has built and installed diesel engines for power plants since 1904. BWSC was established as a separate specialist company in 1980 and acquired by Mitsui Engineering and Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. (MES) in 1990.
