New Electric Solutions Brochure from Babcock Wanson supports customer decarbonisation journey

As demand grows for practical decarbonisation technologies, the new brochure provides a comprehensive guide to Babcock Wanson’s electric boiler offering and the role these systems can play in achieving sustainable, cost-effective heat generation. It explains how industrial processes that have traditionally relied on fossil fuels can now be powered by high-efficiency electric technology, supporting customers in meeting their environmental responsibilities while maintaining operational performance.

The brochure details Babcock Wanson’s complete electric boiler portfolio, beginning with its high-voltage electrode boilers, capable of delivering steam at pressures up to 85 barg and with outputs of up to 75MW. These systems combine fast start-up, zero on-site emissions and efficiency of over 99%, making them one of the most powerful tools available for decarbonising energy-intensive processes. Alongside these sit a range of low-voltage immersion heater boilers, designed for applications requiring lower power and flow rates, yet still delivering precise control, simple installation and robust reliability. For industries requiring tailored solutions, the brochure introduces the e-Pack, a highly adaptable zero-emission boiler available for up to 12 tonnes of steam per hour, while for smaller-scale or specific requirements the VAP-EL provides a compact, skid-mounted solution.

Recognising that electrification is not always an immediate or total transition, the brochure also highlights Babcock Wanson’s hybrid solutions, which allow new or existing fire-tube boilers to be fitted with electric auxiliary heating systems. These enable companies to switch seamlessly between conventional fuels and electricity depending on price, availability or regulatory requirements, providing a pragmatic route towards decarbonisation without sacrificing energy security.

Commenting on the release of this latest brochure, Etienne Fourie, technical sales manager for Babcock Wanson UK’s Process Engineering Division, said: "Our new Electrical Solutions brochure demonstrates the breadth of innovation and engineering expertise we have developed to support industry in its transition to clean energy. From large-scale electrode boilers to compact hybrid add-ons, we are offering practical, efficient and future-proofed solutions that enable manufacturers to significantly reduce their carbon footprint while retaining the flexibility they need in a changing energy landscape."

The Electrical Solutions brochure also explains how Babcock Wanson’s equipment integrates with digital monitoring systems, providing customers with intelligent performance tracking and enabling participation in emerging grid services markets. In addition, it sets out the economic case for electrification, highlighting both the reduction in exposure to fluctuating gas prices and the availability of grants and funding for low-carbon technologies across Europe.
