History
Process Combustion Corporation (PCC) was formed in 1969 as a joint venture between Bloom Engineering Company of Pittsburgh, PA and the former Urquhart Engineering Company of London, UK (now known as PCC Sterling Limited) who have been in business for over 70 years. Bloom designs and manufacturers high performance burner and refractory products for steel and aluminum metals industries. Former Urquhart Engineering Company engineered and supplied specialty combustion and heat transfer systems to the chemical and petroleum process industries. These systems included large capacity burners, high intensity burners, gasifiers, combustors, air heaters, and process hot gas generators.
In 1984, Process Combustion Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of Bloom Engineering, Pittsburgh, PA.
Sterling Industries PLC later acquired Urquhart, and changed its name to PCC Sterling Ltd. and relocated to Aylesbury, UK. In 1984 Sterling Industries PLC acquired all the Bloom companies (Bloom Engineering (Europa) GmbH in Dusseldorf Germany. Other members of the Sterling PLC group include Sterling Hydraulics, Crewkerne, UK and Chicago, IL; and GCD International, Knoxfield, Australia.
