B&W SPIG Service shapes the future of clients’ plants
through continuous innovations critical to solve
increasing project complexity.
When it comes to innovation, production enhancement,
energy saving, reliability and maintainability are
considered outstanding improvements with the final

In order to minimize loss of revenue, it is essential to
use online condition monitoring and diagnostics
systems to receive information about the health of
operating equipment.
By using predictive and preventive maintenance
techniques, B&W SPIG can identify potential failures
before they occur and take action to address them,
