Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) announced that its B&W Environmental business segment has been awarded a contract for more than $9 MM to design and supply two cooling systems for a clean H₂ production facility in the Middle East.

B&W Environmental will supply two SPIG fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP) cooling towers to provide efficient, low-emissions cooling for a plant that will use renewable energy sources to produce H₂.

“We’re excited to play an important role in this groundbreaking clean energy project,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Jimmy Morgan. “B&W Environmental’s SPIG cooling systems can be custom-designed for renewable energy facilities, including clean H₂ production, and can help these plants operate at peak performance while protecting the environment from harmful emissions.”

“Renewable energy and H₂ are key to the future of clean energy in the Middle East and Africa region, and as more energy producers look to produce low- and zero-emissions energy, we’re ready to help them achieve their goals with a broad selection of advanced technologies and services,” Morgan said.

B&W Environmental’s FRP cooling towers can operate under harsh conditions while providing high strength, weather resistance, long-term performance and durability, and exceptional noise and vibration absorption.
