B&W's Heros™ water-tube boilers have an established reputation for reliability and proven performance in a variety of industries.
Our water-tube (package) boilers are available in a wide range of capacities, and are continually enhanced by incorporating the latest technological advancements. A full complement of auxiliary components and add-on features are available depending upon your application. In addition, we offer comprehensive installation and support services after the sale.
Heros industrial boiler benefits:
High capacity package boilers
B&W also provides higher capacity package boilers available for both oil and gas firing. These units feature multiple burners for increased capacity. Given the footprint these boilers can be either shop, dock, or field assembled; otherwise units are shipped by barge or ocean vessel. Benefits Include:
Capability Range
| Capacity | 10,000 to 1,200,000 lb/hr (4.5 to 544.2 T/hr) |
| Size/Space | Various modular designs for shop and/or field assembly |
| Temperature | Saturated to 1005F (540C) |
| Design Pressure | 250 to 2400 psig (1.7 to 16.5 MPa) |
| Fuel | Liquid or gaseous fuels such as oil, natural gas, carbon monoxide (CO), blast furnace gas (BFG), cake oven gas (COG), and more |
| Air/Water Treatment |
Emissions and water-side deposition control systems |
| Timeline/Budget | Design and construction variances to meet cost, scheduling requirements |
MultiCirc (patent-pending)
Our multi-circulation systems accommodate lower-quality feedwater and maximize thermal efficiency while maintaining reliability by minimizing boiler tube internal scaling.
Connection Ready
The boiler and auxiliary equipment modules, depending on size, can be shop mounted to skids where they are pre-wired and piped to accelerate transportation and reduce field installation times.
Elevated Drum
Our elevated-drum design is used for drum retention times of 5 minutes or more from normal water level to low water fuel cutout. Additionally, this design is utilized where shipping limitations exist as it allows for a more symmetrical load with the upper steam drum shipped separately from the boiler and installed onsite.
Furnace wall water cooling
Eliminates refractory and related maintenance
Gas-tight setting membrane
Inhibits dewpoint 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
Sootblowers
Clean convection banks, includes bearings, wallbox(es) and tube openings
Solid membrane division wall
Prohibits furnace gases from bypassing generating tubes
Larger tube diameter
Helps to prevent membrane thermal cracking and contributes to a faster load response
Inverted loop, fully drainable superheaters
Water wash troughs and drains
