Babcock & Wilcox - Water-tube Package and Industrial Boilers
B&W’s line of industrial package boilers represents more than 150 years of ingenuity and experience, providing dependable performance for a wide range of industries and applications. Over the years, our industrial boiler configurations have been known by various model names, including FM, HCFM, PFM, PFI, PFT, TSSG and others — D-type or O-type, single-drum or multi-drum. The unique designs offered by these various models provide our customers with flexible options and features to meet any steam generation demand.
Through an agreement with John Zink Hamworthy Combustion (JZHC), B&W offers a comprehensive steam generation solution that pairs JZHC’s Coen® burners with B&W’s water-tube package boilers for refining, petrochemical, pulp and paper, mining, manufacturing, utilities and other industries.
Working together, the two companies offer streamlined
- Sourcing
- Engineering
- Manufacturing and
- Installation services for a greatly simplified, high-performing, low-emissions steam generation system.
Equipment can include:
- Boiler
- Burner, including windbox, fuel skid and PRV skid
- Combustion air fan
- Ammonia injection grid (AIG)
- Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reactor
- Economizer
- Deaerator
- Stack
- and more.
Backed by more than 5,000 units and 150 years of experience, B&W`s water-tube package and industrial boilers have an established reputation for reliability and proven performance. They are engineered to meet unique capacity, space, fuel, emissions, transportation, installation and other requirements. They offer reliable power with low emissions, low auxiliary power requirements, simple operation, low maintenance and can be tailored for a variety of fuel options, including natural gas. Coen burners are installed in more than 15,000 plants worldwide and are engineered for optimized steam production and emissions control.
Furnace wall water cooling – eliminates refractory and related maintenance
Gas-tight setting membrane – inhibits dew-point sulfur corrosion and outages caused by gas leaks
Rugged steel-based frame – supports boiler and allows jacking and skidding
Outer lagging – galvanized, weather-tight for outdoor installations
Drum internals – ensure positive circulation, low moisture, high steam purity
Larger tube diameter (2.5 in. [6.35 cm] tubes spaced 1 in. [2.54 cm] apart) – contributes to a faster load response and helps prevent membrane thermal cracking
Grooved tube seats – protect against leaks during transportation and throughout operation
Solid membraned division wall – prohibits furnace gases from bypassing generating tubes
Water wash troughs and drains – facilitates offline water-washing
Inverted loop, fully drainable superheaters – saves time during startup while minimizing the chances of over-heat during the pressure-raising stage.
Sootblowers – for effective cleaning of the superheater, generating bank and other heat transfer surfaces
