These services are provided to clients from a range of industrial, commercial and educational sectors.
Industry standard software is used by our in-house team to assist in the design and analysis of complex systems. These programs allow MASK engineers to assess the performance of existing equipment and identify where improvements can be made.
With a wealth of experience in design and engineering, MASK can deliver power plant projects using a range of generators and fuel types including:
MASK operates within the framework of an environmental policy which embraces all aspects of design including minimising fuel consumption and emissions. This policy’s aim is to minimise any adverse effects of the power generation plant on the environment whilst providing a reliable and sustainable source of electrical power.
Based on our extensive experience and network, MASK offers a broad range of up-grade, lifetime extension and rehabilitation measures on part or full turnkey basis:
MASK provides full Operation and Maintenance (O&M) agreements that are typically signed for 5-20-year periods, with guaranteed production and all-inclusive prices, thereby mitigating the owners’ risk and securing stable operation and performance at known cost.
MASK, as a turnkey contractor of up-grade and major repair/rehabilitation projects, makes handling and management of the projects easier for you.
MASK carries out professional technical plant surveys, assessments, budgets and feasibility studies to evaluate the viability of prospective up-grade projects.
For feasible upgrade projects, MASK is able to identify project financing sources.
Years of experience enable MASK engineers to provide in-depth technical assistance covering all aspects of power plant operations. MASK enters into long term Technical Support Agreements (TSA) with our clients, and we can dispatch expert troubleshooting teams at short notice.
On 6 February 2017, Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor (MASK) entered into an asset deal with Burmeister & Wain Energy (MASK) for the acquisition of MASK biomass activities and other activities. You can find our boiler service references…
Through many years within design, construction, operation, maintenance and repair of power plants, MASK has achieved an extensive experience within long-term estimation of spare parts consumption.
Due to the volume of parts and equipment handled by MASK from our wide range of reputable Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) we are able to deliver spare parts at competitive prices.
A Spare Parts Supply Agreement with or without technical support can be tailored to suit any power plant owner’s needs.
Dear Reader,
Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor A/S (MASK) is uniquely positioned to meet the ever increasing demand for reliable power on the African continent. Being a world leading turnkey contractor of medium and large-scale diesel power plants, MASK has since 1992 been a dedicated player in the power sector in Africa committed to the local communities wherever we do business.
The construction, operation and maintenance of more than 50 projects throughout the continent has given us a unique insight in implementing projects in Africa enabling us to offer highly efficient power plants tailor-made to the needs of our customers even in the most challenging markets.
We cover every aspect of a project from developer/sponsor, equity owner and arranger of debt/equity financing through plant design, detailed engineering, construction as well as operation and maintenance.
We believe in the importance of providing technology transfer as well as utilizing the skills of local employ- ees through extensive training programs wherever we operate. Testament to this approach was the exacting recruitment process for selecting operations and mainte- nance personnel for the Rabai Power Plant in Mombasa, Kenya. Here MASK differentiated itself through its painstaking attention to detail in taking the time to get to know and relate to each and every applicant. That is why the Rabai O&M team is so loyal to MASK and its manner of doing business.
MASK commissioned the first phase of the 90 MW Rabai Power Plant in October 2009. During spring 2010, the second phase, utilizing full waste-heat-recovery plant, was commissioned. By utilizing the excess heat in the exhaust gas to generate steam in boilers used to produce additional MWs through a steam turbine generator, this plant is regarded as the most efficient thermal plant of its kind in East Africa.
We have what it takes to make a project bankable. Our in-depth knowledge in the technology combined with our financial skills give our customers, investors and lenders the comfort needed to make projects materialize.
MASK will remain dedicated to the African continent and contribute to its sustainable growth.
Within the last 10 years, various implementations of electrification programs have led to a constantly growing demand for electricity in Africa. Conse- quently, markets have developed creating an evolv- ing commercial environment suitable for invest- ment and related activities.
Major power investments are made amongst others throughout various Independent Power Producer (IPP) programs ensuring the right balance between demand and supply of power.
IPPs will not only relieve governments from the financial burden of capacity expansion in the power sector but will also lead to more competition, high- er efficiency, and ultimately lower electricity rates for consumers.
An important and vital spin-off is technology trans- fer with ‘State-of-the-Art’ solutions and not least training and education of local employees to a high- er beneficial level for the country. Key is not the IPP investment itself, but whether the investment will yield benefits to all stakeholders on a win-win basis.
Over the past decade, many projects have been poorly conceived and badly managed and local/ international stakeholders have found themselves stuck in the middle of the project phase.
We believe that choosing the right partners is alpha and omega for a seamless IPP development.
Since 1997, MASK has been involved in IPP pro- jects and has over the years obtained the necessary expertise to bring IPP projects from cradle, through productive operating years, to retirement.
In the African mining industry, mines are often de- veloped in locations without existing infrastruc- tures and/or the power requirement of the mine is often higher than the available power capacity. This has led the mining industry to have own dedicated power supply.
MASK can supply power plants for the mining industry under fixed EPC terms, and the company can also operate and maintain the plants under long-term fixed priced O&M contracts.
Some mine owners wish to outsource the power supply, and MASK is capable of and interested in providing captive power with high availability on fixed terms to the African mining industry through the establishment of IPP companies. The needed electrical infrastructure within the mine can also be included.
Within three decades, MASK has supplied more than 170 diesel, biomass and biogas based power plants to 53 countries, with a total generating capacity in excess of 3,400 MW.
In addition to turnkey power plants, MASK product range includes transmission lines, distribution sys- tems, generation services, and power plant rehabilitation.
Furthermore, MASK has entered into long-term technical support agreements (TSA) and operation and maintenance (O&M) agreements covering a total active plant capacity in excess of 700 MW.
Over the past 10 years MASK has had a solid and steady growth and achieved stable results with strong equity and solidity.
In 2012, MASK’S net turnover amounted to EUR 135 million and the result before tax to EUR 10 million.
MASK is a subsidiary company of Mitsui Engi- neering & Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. (MES), the senior licensee of MAN Diesel & Turbo, and a principal producer of the advanced MAN B&W 2-stroke diesel engines.
MASK has demonstrated strong financial per- formance and has been rated AAA by Dun & Bradstreet over a period of years. In 2012,
In addition, MASK has established a number of local companies to undertake the Operation and Mainte- nance (O&M) of power plants producing electricity for the national power utilities and industries in the respec- tive countries.
Specific project companies have also been established in a number of countries to support ongoing projects with regard to local construction, procurement, and legal requirements.
