Nukissiorfiit replacement of engine to extend lifetime and improve efficiency

Posted on February 9, 2024February 9, 2024 by Ines Moura

BWSC has been a key player in Greenland’s energy infrastructure since its early days, as part of its legacy initially as B&W Contractor. Now, we are excited to share that in the final quarter of 2023, BWSC signed a contract with Nukissiorfiit, the public utility company in Greenland, for a lifetime extension of the combined heat and power plant in the town of Aasiaat.

The project involves the removal of an obsolete diesel-generator unit, making way for the hauling and installation of a new MAN genset, provided by Nukissiorfiit, which will result in improvement in plant performance and availability.

The comprehensive upgrades also include modifications to the foundation and balance of plant, i.e., heat exchangers, pumps, piping, ventilation, VLT´s, instrumentation, cabling, noise enclosure etc., as well as an upgrade and adaptation of the existing Siemens S7 control system. This entire process is managed seamlessly as a turn-key operation, covering engineering, equipment supply, installation, and final testing and commissioning of the plant.

The project is based upon contemporary technology and will contribute to improved plant performance and availability.

The contract, effective from mid-December 2023 and valued at approximately 16 million DKK, commenced execution last month.

Fostering student opportunities

Posted on November 2, 2023November 2, 2023 by Ines Moura

At BWSC, we are dedicated to nurturing young talent, so we maintain a close relationship with Maskinmesterskolen København, a school for marine engineering education.

We believe their students represent the future of engineering in Denmark, and we often welcome them as interns or full-time employees at our company. Therefore, we invest in their learning and ensure they are provided with the right support to further their education.

As part of our initiative to develop young talent, we sponsored study trips to Spain and France earlier this October, to enrich these students’ educations with opportunities that allowed them to apply their theoretical knowledge onto real-world, practical scenarios.

Last week, we got to hear about their newfound insights and experiences, as we had the pleasure of welcoming two classes to our Allerød HQ office. During this visit, we shared with them the work we do at BWSC and discussed its relevance to the practical learnings they acquired on their study trips abroad.

BWSC this year has sponsored a total of 7 classes on trips not just to Spain and France, but also to other countries such as Hungary, Czech Republic and Iceland. Every half a year, we receive the recently travelled students, which is always very exciting for us, and we cannot wait to hear about next year’s trips.

Sound interesting to you? To learn more about our student opportunities, visit our student page found here.

Also, do not miss out on watching the experience of our two student interns in Kenya!
