In 1993 the company signed new contracts with China to build two 600-megawatt boilers, and in 1996 it signed a $200 million contract with the Philippines to build a polyethylene plant. Foster Wheeler reorganized in 1993, incorporating its environmental group into its engineering and construction group.

Because the engine's power was derived from the vacuum produced by condensation of the steam, the requirement was for large volumes of steam at very low pressure hardly more than 1 psi (6.9 kPa) The whole boiler was set into brickwork

However, the steam generators in many large industrial facilities such as petroleum refineries may use whatever low-pressure steam is available. [3] Babcock & Wilcox Co. (2005).
