Babcock & Wilcox has served the oil and gas industry for many years. From boilers for FCC gas cooling, carbon monoxide (CO), waste heat (WH) and auxiliary steam, to boiler cleaning systems, petroleum coke handling and electrostatic precipitators, our custom engineered technology solutions add value to your refinery operations. In addition, we can provide key turnaround scope development, field engineering support and construction services.
Requirement: Modular steam supply solution
B&W Scope: 8 x 573,000 lb/hr TSSG™ boilers; designed with patented drum internals to handle low quality feed water
Result: Highly modular TSSG design gave customer on time startup of reliable steam generators.
Requirement: Petroleum coke dewatering system
B&W Scope: Design and supply of Hydrobin® dewatering system
Result: Fully modular plug and play design allowed fast project installation.
Requirement: Waste Heat Boiler, Engineering Study and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Scope: ASME Section VIII Unfired Waste Heat Boiler System Supply
Result: Increased efficiency, increased unit reliability, decreased turnaround maintenance time
The project achieved successful startup with all performance guarantees met. As of this writing, the unit has been continuously operating (4 years) without an outage or performance issues.
Requirement: Steam generation solution that could provide five minutes’ worth of water retention in case of a loss from feedwater pumps before a low-water trip to the boiler
B&W Scope: 115,000 kg/h (253,532 lb/h) elevated three-drum water tube boiler, dual low NOx burners, dual forced draft fans, economizer, control system
Result: Drum level didn't deviate more than 15 mm from set point during normal plant load swings. CO and NOx emissions well below required levels.

B&W's wide range of refinery engineering and advisory services go beyond the boiler to include pressure vessels, heat exchangers, piping, distillation towers and more.
Expert field and construction engineers, knowledgeable in refinery operations, are available to support TAR scope definition, planning and execution.
We are a global leader in supplying a wide range of boiler designs to meet targeted, challenging, long-lasting operational and performance goals.
Using steam, compressed air or water, Diamond Power® boiler cleaning systems are trusted to remove deposits, prevent boiler pluggage, and maintain boiler efficiency. For more than 100 years, our specialized designs and configurations have met customer needs for precision, reliability and efficiency.
Our experience includes wet cooling (mechanical and natural draft) systems, dry cooling systems and hybrid cooling solutions as dictated by site-specific requirements. We design plants for a wide range of project requirements such as high seismic and wind loads, vibration control, corrosion resistance, low-noise emission, sub-freezing operation, and seawater applications.
The safety of our employees, the teams we work with, the customers we serve and the customers they serve are always our highest priority. Personnel at every level participate in training and ascribe to adopting our Target Zero safety program, focused on creating and maintaining an environment that is incident- and injury-free.
In addition to our own high standards for safety, quality and customer service, our dedicated personnel are also certified by various regulatory authorities and jurisdictions around the world. We are capable of and recognized for successfully executing projects for our refinery and oil & gas customers, meeting all industry and site-specific requirements.
