A-S-H® Material and Ash Handling
Smart energy for longevity.
Clean energy is efficient energy. B&W has been traveling a clear path to cleaner energy for over 150 years. In 1867, Stephen Wilcox said, “there must be a better way” to safely and efficiently generate power — and that’s exactly what we’ve been doing since George Babcock joined Mr. Wilcox
Improving efficiencies contributes dramatically to safer, smarter and more reliable operations.
We never stop working to be the premier trusted provider of the world’s most efficient steam generation equipment, aftermarket parts, construction, maintenance and field services for power generation and industrial applications.
From the initial patent in 1856 for the world’s first inherently safe water-tube boiler to diverse technologies using the latest advanced steam cycles, our robust thermal energy solutions deliver reliability, availability and long-term operation.
We wrote the book on steam. Literally. Our vast experience includes:
B&W is the original equipment manufacturer of all Diamond Power® boiler cleaning equipment, sootblowers, systems and replacement parts.
Our Diamond Power boiler cleaning systems are available in steam/air, high pressure water, and dual-media air heater cleaning configurations. With more than a century of experience in boiler cleaning, you can depend on low maintenance, reliability, versatility and maximum cleaning performance backed by experience.
To keep your steam generation and auxiliary equipment operating at peak efficiency and to take advantage of the latest technologies, B&W provides a wide range of component and steam system upgrades and replacement parts. We also employ some of the brightest and responsive customer service representatives and field service engineers who are available to respond to the most demanding challenges.
Through our Allen-Sherman-Hoff® (A-S-H®) ash handling product line, B&W is a leading global supplier and manufacturer of customized material handling solutions. Combining the strengths, history and experience of these two great industry names, our extensive knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of various material combinations has made us an integral supplier of customized solutions. We offer bottom ash systems and components in both wet and dry configurations and a variety of pneumatic transport systems and related components for fly ash handling.
Efficient and reliable fuel processing, delivery and combustion systems are essential to continued boiler operation. B&W’s pulverizers, burners and other combustion equipment are designed and manufactured for high availability, reliability and low maintenance.
Have you ever repaired a boiler tube leak and put the unit back into service, only to be forced offline by another leak? Identifying and correcting the root cause of tube failures is essential to help lessen the chance of future problems. A comprehensive assessment is the most effective method of determining the root cause of a failure.
In the hydrocarbon processing industry, the operation of a fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU), depending on its arrangement, produces gases rich in carbon monoxide (CO). To reclaim the energy in these gases, the FCCU can be designed to include a CO boiler to generate steam. This article provides an overview of CO boiler design criteria, firing requirements and operation.
Optimizing boiler and steam system efficiency is more important than ever. Although a boiler’s efficiency is primarily a result of its design, an operator can maintain or significantly improve efficiency by effectively managing various techniques and key functions. Read Part 1 of this two-part series, which discusses operating techniques.
