Steam Generation

For more than 150 years, the Babcock & Wilcox name is synonymous with quality steam generation technologies. In fact, we wrote the book on Steam. From the initial patent in 1856 for the world’s first inherently safe water-tube boiler to diverse technologies using a wide range of fuels and the latest advanced steam cycles, our robust thermal energy solutions deliver reliability, availability and long-term operation.

Our vast experience includes boilers for utility-scale power plants, industrial scale and package boilers, circulating and bubbling fluidized-bed boilers, recovery boilers for pulp and paper mills, and boilers for renewable energy applications.

Carbon Capture

We’ve been at the forefront of developing Innovative carbon capture technologies for several decades. Both post-combustion and oxy-combustion technologies are available for existing and new installations. In addition, our BrightLoop™ chemical looping technology is flexible and can be used for a wide range of applications. The process isolates carbon dioxide for storage/sequestration or beneficial use while producing outputs such as hydrogen, steam and/or syngas.
