BIOMASS BOILERS
Modern boilers burn high quality wood fuels such as wood chips, pellets or uniform agricultural and industrial residues, automatically, free of any sign of smoke and with emissions comparable to modern oil fired systems.
Modern woodchip and pellet boilers retrieve the wood fuel automatically from the storage area and burn it, meeting high environmental standards.
Modern wood boilers use up to 90% of the energy contained in the wood for heating, similar to good oil and gas boilers. State of the art models include automatic ignition and heat exchanger cleaning, automatic ash removal and ash compression (wood has a very low ash content, so ashes only have to be removed a few times a year). Some manufacturers even offer remote monitoring and boiler control.
Benefits of Biomass:
- - Cost Competitive method of generating energy
- - Low Fuel Cost - 15% cheaper than natural Gas
- - Reduced Co2 Emissions
- - Reduced or no reliance on imported Fuels
