Doosan Babcock Ltd is part of Doosan Power Systems S.A., a subsidiary of Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction. It is a power sector OEM, construction, upgrade and after-market services company that offers specialist services and technologies to the fossil-fired power generation, nuclear power generation, and oil, gas and petrochemical industries.

Doosan Babcock's main headquarters are in Crawley, England. European headquarters are in Renfrew, Scotland. The company has manufacturing facilities in the UK, Germany, India, Vietnam and South Korea, and 17 offices around the world.

Doosan Babcock provides a range of through-life services to the thermal power industry, including project design and construction, plant maintenance, asset integrity, shutdown/turnaround management, plant life extension and upgrades.

The company provides OEM boilers to power plants burning traditional and renewable fuels, plus a range of firing technologies, subcritical or supercritical systems and unit sizes from 100MW to 660MW and above. It has a license agreement with Harbin Boiler, the largest boiler maker in China. Doosan Babcock is the developer of the thermal OxyCoalTM oxy-fuel boiler, used at the Vattenfall Oxyfuel pilot plant in Schwarze Pumpe in Germany. Oxy-fuel boilers use pure oxygen rather than air as the primary oxidant to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The company is active in the carbon capture and storage sector and was responsible for designing, building and commissioning the UK’s largest carbon capture pilot plant in Ferrybridge, West Yorkshire, which began operations in November 2011. The project, which uses the company’s advanced amine scrubbing technology is a collaboration between SSE, Doosan Babcock and Vattenfall, and is the first of its size to be integrated into a live power plant in the UK.
