The B&W Thermal segment of Babcock & Wilcox will design, supply and install replacement thermal technologies for a power plant in North America. The contract is valued at more than $20 million.

A line of low internal volume heaters is suited for use in ultra-high purity (UHP) solvent-heating applications in semiconductor manufacturing, including wafer cleaning, etching and photoresist-stripping processes.

Manufacturing applications are constantly being modified to improve efficiency and quality. As process improvements are redefined, so is the equipment that is used. For example, one of the more commonly used tools in manufacturing is the electric air heater.
