Until the late 1800s, steam was used primarily for heat and as a tool for industry. Then, with the advent of practical electric power generation and distribution, utility companies were formed to serve industrial and residential users across wide areas.
Today, B&W supports the owners and operators of electric power plants with boiler products and services for all types of power plants burning any type of fossil fuel.
Generating solutions requires a strong knowledge base, creativity, perseverance and ingenuity. Building upon our successful experience, B&W continues to provide the industry's most advanced steam generating equipment, emissions control equipment, and services.
