Steam Boilers & Steam Generators
RCR Energy provides firetube and 'D Type' watertube package boilers, generating saturated and superheated steam up to 50MW. Larger steam generator requirements and most solid fuel applications necessitate site-erected plant, typically from our Babcock & Wilcox range.
Babcock & Wilcox Stirling Power Boiler (SPB)
Since 1960,
B&W has supplied more than 240 Stirling® power boilers - typically
top-supported, two-drum, single-pass gas flow steam generators.
A key feature of the Stirling design is its flexibility to incorporate various combustion and stoker designs, including:
- Stokers – reciprocating, vibrating grate, travelling grate
- Burners for oil, gases, BFG, COG and pulverized coal
- Bubbling fluidized bed and circulating fluidized bed

| Oil, gas, pitch Blast furnace gas (BFG) Coke oven gas(COG) Coal and lignite – pulverized and stoker Hogged bark and wood residues Bagasse and other biomass Sludge Chipped rubber and tyres Municipal solid waste and refuse-derived fuel (RDF) |
Output: 68,000 kg/hr – 545,000 kg/hr Operating pressure: up to 138 bar Temperature: up to 538 °C |
Babcock & Wilcox Towerpak
The versatility of the Towerpak steam boiler to burn
virtually any fuel, alone or in combination, is especially useful for industrial applications.
Towerpak boilers are bottom supported, with either one or two drum steam boilers depending upon design pressure and customer requirements. Maximum modularization of the boiler is a key design feature.
A fully shop-assembled furnace is possible for smaller sizes.
Larger units are designed for maximum shop assembly and modularization for ease of field erection.
B&W's Towerpak design offers exclusive advantages which maximise
performance and allow optimised shipping, erection and operating costs.

| Shop assembled (package boiler) Two drum, bottom supported, D type steam boiler Road, ship or rail freighting options |
Output: 3,700kg/hr – 110,000 kg/hr Operating pressure: 17 bar – 72 bar Temperature: up to 482 °C Fuels: range of liquid or gas |
Babcock & Wilcox Fluid Bed – Bubbling & Circulating
Fluidized bed technology offers reduced NOx and SO2
emissions by allowing the control of bed temperature and using reagents
such as limestone as bed material. Additional benefits include the
ability to use fuels which are difficult to burn in conventional boiler
systems.
| Fluid Bed steam boiler range of fuels |
Fluid Bed steam boiler typical fuels |
| High moisture content High ash content High fines content High sulphur content Low calorific (or heating) value |
Biomass or waste fuels Sludge from effluent treatment plants Low grade or high sulphur coals |
B&W conducted extensive research in fluid bed combustion and has developed advanced designs for both bubbling and
circulating fluidized-bed technology. Our extensive operating experience includes a wide range of unit sizes and fuels.

Cleaver Brooks O-type Boiler – M4
One of the most popular products currently in Australia and New Zealand is the Cleaver Brooks Model M4 watertube steam boiler.
O-type boilers are so named because the steam drum, water drum and furnace are all on the same vertical centreline; offering the following benefits:
- Smaller physical dimensions than alternative designs.
- Boiler flue is top mounted, saving additional floor space.
- Quick start-up and rapid water circulation establishment
