Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT REPORTING SEGMENT REPORTING
Our operations are assessed based on three reportable market-facing segments as part of our market-focused organizational approach. Our reportable segments are as follows:

•Babcock & Wilcox Renewable: The B&W Renewable segment offers technologies for efficient and environmentally sustainable power and heat generation, including waste-to-energy, oxygen-fired biomass-to-energy and black liquor systems for the pulp and paper industry. Our leading waste-to-energy technologies support a circular economy, diverting waste from landfills to use for power generation and replacing fossil fuels, while recovering recyclable metals and reducing emissions.
•Babcock & Wilcox Environmental: The B&W Environmental segment offers a full suite of emissions control and environmental technology solutions for utility, waste-to-energy, biomass-to-energy, carbon black, and industrial steam generation applications around the world. Our broad experience includes systems for ash handling, particulate control, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides removal, chemical looping for carbon control, and mercury control.
•Babcock & Wilcox Thermal: The B&W Thermal segment offers steam generation equipment, aftermarket parts, construction, maintenance and field services for plants in the power generation, oil and gas, and industrial sectors. We have an extensive global base of installed equipment for utilities and general industrial applications including refining, petrochemical, food processing, metals and others.

The CODM assesses each segment's performance by using each segment's Adjusted EBITDA. The CODM considers budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. Adjusted EBITDA by segment includes all items relating to the businesses; items that apply to B&W as a whole are assigned to Corporate. We do not separately identify or report assets by segment as the CODM does not consider assets by segment to be a critical measure by which performance is measured.
An analysis of our operations by segment is as follows:
