Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) reported that its B&W Thermal business segment has been awarded a contract valued at approximately $13 million to retrofit  for a power plant in Southeast Asia.

B&W Thermal’s scope includes equipment design and supply, installation, integration, and commissioning of its Diamond Power boiler cleaning equipment, including retractable and standard HydroJet boiler cleaning systems, sootblowers, and a Titanium advanced intelligent boiler cleaning control system.

The customer selected B&W’s advanced boiler cleaning technology to help achieve its objectives of enabling the plant to maintain stable, full-capacity power generation, improving operational efficiency, reducing coal consumption, and lowering associated carbon emissions.

“B&W Thermal has a broad range of Diamond Power boiler cleaning technologies, cameras and monitoring equipment, replacement parts, sootblowing equipment, and more that can help plant owners improve the performance and longevity of their coal-fired power assets,” said Chris Riker, B&W Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “B&W’s technologies are proven solutions for boiler cleaning, environmental and efficiency improvements, and can be tailored to meet each plant’s needs based on fuel type and other factors,” Riker noted.

“Our dedicated Philippines Service Center team allows us to work closely with our customers throughout Southeast Asia,” Riker said. “We’ve successfully designed and installed similar boiler cleaning and sootblower upgrade solutions to customers throughout the region, and we’re excited about the opportunity to once again serve this important market.”

The project is currently underway and anticipated to complete in the first quarter of 2026.
