Cameras & Diagnostic Monitoring

Since 1946, Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) has supplied state-of-the-art technology that allows plant operators to accurately view and monitor internal furnace and process applications. We were the first company to provide industrial viewing systems, and remain committed to meeting the needs of our customers for reliable products and services.

Our reputable Diamond Electronics monitoring products include: high definition visible and infrared light cameras (fixed and portable), process gas temperature measuring pyrometers, temperature measurement software, and site service and in-house repair services.

We provide service, parts and troubleshooting for all Diamond Electronics components and systems from our facility located in Lancaster, Ohio, USA.

Solid-state high-definition camera system delivers pristine, highly detailed images for coal-, oil-, or gas-fired boilers, steel reheat furnaces, cement kilns, lime kilns, glass melt tanks, and negative pressure or balanced draft furnaces. Ideal for viewing burners and flames in visible light areas of a boiler, furnace or kiln. A wide field-of-view allows you to see more of the boiler or furnace interior. Fixed and portable versions are available.

This solid-state infrared camera system for recovery boilers produces 640 x 480 line resolution to deliver powerful images of the smelt bed, superheater area or the liquor guns. Our state-of-the art camera system provides a wide field-of-view, allowing greater bed coverage with fewer cameras, for improved monitoring and reduced capital costs.

While B&W no longer provides new installations of our Carryover Monitor, we continue to service and support existing installations. This device scans luminous particle activity in the boiler to prevent gas-side tube plugging and allows operators to monitor particle carryover in several locations at the same time.

Fluctuations in black liquor firing or combustion air can result in unburned char particles, or carryover, entrained in the flue gas and deposited on tubes in the convection pass of the boiler. Entrainment of char and smelt is one of the major causes of convection pass plugging. The Carryover Monitor can help to anticipate gas-side tube pluggage problems and correct them before a critical problem occurs.
