| From modest beginnings as a manufacturer
of coal burning equipment, McBurney has developed into
a full service organization providing engineering, construction
and maintenance services to the industrial steam and power
plant industries. McBurney was founded in 1911 as a manufacturer
of coal stoker equipment and a representative of several
power plant equipment suppliers. The McBurney Inclined
Grate Coal Stoker was developed by Willard B. McBurney
Sr. who was dedicated to developing innovative solutions
for the efficient combustion of coal in commercial and
industrial boilers. |

 |
| During the post World War I era, the McBurney
underfeed stoker was introduced. McBurney soon became a well
known single source supplier for complete steam plants including
boiler, stoker, feedwater systems, controls, and fuel handling
equipment which were sold to textile mills, railroad shops and
other manufacturers. |

During World War II, McBurney provided many small steam plants for
Army and Navy bases. After the war, a market developed for new stoker
designs that would burn fuel cleanly and more efficiently. McBurney
engineers responded to the challenge and earned the company the reputation
for developing clean combustion technology for various fuels including
wood wastes. In the 1960s, McBurney grew and diversified as many forest
products companies expanded wood products production. During this
period, McBurney positioned itself as a leading design/construction
firm specializing in biomass combustion.
As the technological requirements for industrial steam generation
continued to increase, larger boiler applications required the use
of sophisticated combustion technologies and versatile fuel delivery
systems. Our non-traditional fuel firing experience is impressive
and includes wood waste, peanut hulls, coffee grounds, rice husks,
bagasse, coconut hulls, chicken litter, waste paper, shredded tires,
plastics,  cardboard,
municipal refuse, industrial sludges and waste gases.
Today, McBurney has evolved into a firm providing comprehensive engineering,
construction and maintenance services in all facets of steam and power
plant projects. With over three generations of experience, McBurney
understands the needs of its clients. We remain committed to meeting
today's demand for developing cost effective energy and environmental
solutions. |
