From Hero of Alexandria’s aeolipile in the first century AD to America’s first functioning steamboat sailing down the Delaware in 1787 to now, harnessing the power of steam is not a new idea. However, what has changed is the critical importance of a steam blow test for modern facilities, such as data centers, LNG terminals and advanced power plants.
At B&W Energy Services, we’re committed to continuing a legacy of excellence, bringing expert engineering, the latest technology, and proprietary equipment to today’s fast-paced, high-stakes energy markets, where noise restrictions and tight schedules leave little room for error.
These days, new power plants, LNG facilities, data centers, refineries and major expansion projects require steam blowing to clean critical systems prior to startup and operation. We know your degree of investment in these facilities is tremendous, and removing mill scale, weld slag and debris from these systems is essential to ensure equipment longevity and protect your investment.
Our engineering team has vast experience working on complex steam blow projects in multiple energy sectors. What is steam blowing in power plants isn’t necessarily steam blowing for data centers, and we customize your cleaning program to fit your facility’s unique requirements. This versatility in experience and specially engineered equipment, including our pneumatic target inserters, allows for the most efficient cleaning possible, anywhere in the world.

B&W Steam Blowing Advantages
- Constant Innovations
- Specially Engineered Equipment
- Experienced Engineers
- Project Flexibility and Customization
It wasn’t too long ago that the steam blow cleaning process was known to shatter windows and exceed 140dB (louder than a flyby from a jet at 100 feet away). We’re constantly striving to push the limits of possibility with new innovations in steam blowing technology, including our dry silencers that can vent 900 kPPH of steam while staying at or below 85dB (similar to hearing traffic from inside your car).
Contact our team today to see how B&W’s steam blowing process can make a difference in the cleanliness of your data center’s, LNG terminal’s, power plant’s or other facility’s systems.
