For
over 100 years, BSP and its predecessor, Pacific Foundry, have
engineered and built hundreds of multiple hearth furnaces with
installations operating all over the world on numerous processes.
During
the early 1900’s Pacific Foundry Company started producing multiple
hearth furnaces for ore roasting applications. Around the same time,
Nichols Engineering obtained patent rights to the Herreshoff furnace
which soon became the industry standard. Nichols partnered with Pacific
Foundry for its capabilities in detailed mechanical design,
manufacturing, and construction; thus allowing Nichols to focus on
process design.
In 1961, Pacific Foundry Company merged with
Bartlett & Snow Company and formed Bartlett-Snow-Pacific, a.k.a.,
BSP. For the next 20 years, BSP was affiliated with Envirotech and then
with Lurgi during the 1980s. During that time, hundreds of BSP furnaces
were erected.
In 1989, BSP Thermal
Systems Inc. was formed as an independent entity. Under its new leadership, we focused on the carbon regeneration and activation
industry. Over 25 years later, BSP has become the go-to supplier for carbon regeneration and activation furnaces.
