Powerhouse Boiler Rebuild

IB&M completed a total rebuild of a 120,000 lb/hr Babcock & Wilcox Powerhouse field erect Boiler. This rebuild consisted of entire replacement of tubes, super heater, refractories, air pre heater tubes, casing and insulation. This project required over 22,000 man hours all of which was provided by IB&M full time staff. This boiler stands over 4 stories tall with a firebox height of 60 feet from the furnace floor to the roof tubes.

After completion of rebuild, testing was done on this unit which showed dramatic increase in performance and efficiency of this power boiler.
