Diamond Power

What Diamond Power does

Diamond Power is the boiler cleaning division of Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: BW), supplying soot blowers, cleaning systems, and associated equipment and services that maintain boiler efficiency and reliability across utility and industrial steam plants. The division operates as part of B&W's broader portfolio of steam generation and environmental technologies, which spans utility-scale boilers (subcritical, supercritical, ultra-supercritical, Stirling, Towerpak, CFB, BFB), combustion and fuel systems (pulverizers, low-NOx burners, FPS ignitors and flame scanners), and a comprehensive emissions control suite (wet FGD scrubbers, dry ESP/WESP, SCR, mercury and acid gas control). Underpinning the portfolio are proprietary decarbonization technologies marketed under the ClimateBright sub-brand, including BrightLoop chemical looping for hydrogen and carbon capture, SolveBright post-combustion CO2 scrubbing, OxyBright oxygen combustion, and BrightGen hydrogen combustion, alongside digital optimization layers such as FocalPoint and Flame Doctor.

The company generates revenue through direct enterprise field sales, supplemented by regional service centers in the United States and Mexico and Babcock & Wilcox Construction Co., LLC (BWCC) for field construction and maintenance. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed; contracts are bespoke quotations tied to equipment specifications and service scope. Customer segments are entirely enterprise: electric utilities, pulp and paper mills, petrochemical and refining operators, waste-to-energy and biomass plants, cement, metals and mining, and an emerging AI data center vertical. The installed base exceeds 300,000 MW of generating capacity across approximately 60 countries, more than 5,000 ESP installations, 16,000 controls in 52 countries, and 165+ supercritical boilers. Recent strategic emphasis has shifted toward AI data center power generation (Applied Digital $2.4 billion 1GW NTP, May 2026) and decarbonization, funded in part by a May 2026 underwritten public equity offering of approximately $230 million.
