Package Boiler Retubing Services

Package Boiler Illustration

Our boiler retubing projects can include the same advanced features and designs as our OEM package boilers resulting in improved performance and longevity.

B&W applies our knowledge and experience gained from supplying more than 5000 industrial water-tube boilers to boiler retubing projects. While other suppliers most often provide repairs or replacements “in-kind” based on standard drawings which may not exactly reflect the tube arrangement, we can reference accurate, contract-specific drawings to verify design accuracy. We can also improve boiler operation and longevity with a wide range of potential design upgrades, making our retubing solution a superior long-term investment.

Design benefits

B&W’s standard retube offerings are designed to fit existing configuration

  • Gas-tight membraned outer walls – Inhibits dewpoint sulfur corrosion, hot spots and outages caused by flue gas leaks.
  • Solid membraned division wall – Prohibits furnace gases from bypassing generating tubes, improving CO and NOx emissions compared to flat studded walls.
  • Sloped furnace floor – Eliminates floor brick resulting in capital savings on material and labor while eliminating future costs of floor brick maintenance. Additionally, increases furnace heat absorption to reduce NOx.

Available as an upgrade to flat furnace floors (left), B&W’s sloped floor design (right) reduces installation costs and increases furnace heat absorption to reduce NOx formation.

B&W benefits

  • Minimized downtime – For boilers originally supplied by B&W, the availability of contract-specific design details enables fabrication and supply while the unit remains online, minimizing outage time and assuring fit-up in the field.
  • Performance upgrades – Capability to provide upgraded designs to improve boiler performance.
  • Experience – Engineering and manufacturing experience with thousands of boilers.
  • Fabrication options – Domestic and international manufacturing capabilities to adapt critical project needs, such as lead time or lower cost, to supply the optimal solution.

Our quality fabrication options include both domestic and international manufacturing capabilities to adapt critical project needs, such as lead time or lower cost, to supply the optimal solution.
