The Heating Creators Biomass Familiarisation
So what is biomass? Greenflame Biomass wood pellet boilers A natural material produced out of a recent living thing In this case trees. Why wood? It s s one of the most natural and sustainable fuel sources available to us. Its carbon neutral cycle is proven by the same amount of carbon dioxide it releases into the atmosphere through burning, as it absorbs during growth process.
So why biomass? Environmental and social benefits Controllability just like an oil or gas boiler Super efficiencies in excess of 90.7% MCS Accredited Eligible for the RHPP & RHI Low Co2 Emissions Improves bio-diversity Clean burn credential s Fuel saving opportunities Ideal for properties - particularly in rural areas
Fuel & usage High quality - 6mm premium pellets with a moisture content below 10% are approved for use. High quality pellets have a low ash content (max 0.5%) meaning good combustion, minimum ash production and less wastage. The cost per kw/h of wood pellets can be around 40% less than the cost of oil. Current cost per tonne = 220.00 approx Popular brands include Balcas Brites and Verdo Pellets displaying the ENplus trade mark the seal for quality.
The unique external range The NEW external SLIM 18kW, is one of the smallest biomass boilers on the market today. Smaller footprint (only 495mm deep) Can be sited directly against external wall of property Fully serviceable from the front Larger ashbox than on Standard models Flue vertical off the top of the boiler (no 90 bends) Automatic Burner cleaning Vacuum regulator to control combustion 50kG store Greenflame external is the only biomass boiler on the market offered complete with 100mm twin walled stainless steel flue system (2 metres) - other fluing options available. 28kW external option showed opposite
The internal range Outputs from 15kW to 28kW for domestic use. Units feature 7 step modulation meaning variable input versus output i.e. the 28kW can modulate down to as little as 8.4kW. RHI compliant heat meter and modem is included with PLUS models

Commercial scale Greenflame Biomass wood pellet boilers Ideal for large properties e.g.businesses, offices, large retail outlets, care homes, hospitals, and golf courses. The RHI currently allows commercial installs to qualify for an annual pay out (for 20 years after install) Commercial outputs are ideal for district heating schemes where a centralized boiler is required to provide heat for a number of buildings or properties. Outputs 55kW 199kW
Commercial scale - Features Automatic cleaning heat exchanger Automatic ash removal Auger, comprising cell wheel and industry leading motor ensuring precise & economical fuel input Automatic ignition LCD digital display including buffer management Vacuum pellet suction system included Wireless modem
Pellet storage and feed solutions A pellet store is worth considering, for a continuous supply of pellets, particularly for larger output boilers. The cost of pellets for bulk purchase will reduced. Pellet storage solutions range from 3.0 tonne (shown opposite) to 20.0 tonne in square or rectangular footprints Various auger and vacuum feeding options are available to suit.
Pellet storage feeding solutions Various auger and vacuum feeding options are available to suit. Auger connects to base of hopper and feeds directly into top of the boiler. Typical auger set up Optional Vacuum System Option The vacuum system is an optional fuel transportation drive, available on all models. The system ensures smooth transportation of pellet from fuel store to boiler. with sensor indication controlling and monitoring fuel supply. Should the hopper empty the vacuum will automatically re-fill in defined periods of time. Auger systems are popular alternatives to this method
The Eco-Lodge For large energy users particularly those in offgrid areas, Eco-Lodge is an option. This pre-packed biomass solution in a box includes boiler, buffer tanks and controls. The unit is pre-plumbed and pre-wired off site and delivered to the owners site as a plug and play system. Available as a 20ft units with separate silo systems. Prices start around 69,000

Pay back opportunities Greenflame Biomass wood pellet boilers The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) currently benefits commercial biomass installations by adopting a feed in tariff approach, payments are made for every kw/h of energy produced on the premises. The RHI for householders will be managed by Ofgem aimed at those looking to replace a current heating system with a renewable one. It is intended that householders will get paid for the heat expected to be produced by their installed technology. Commercial RHI Tariff for <200kW Biomass Boiler 8.6p/kWhr for first 1,314 at Full Power = Tier 1 (2.2p/kwhr thereafter = Tier 2) Domestic RHI is now confirmed at 12.2p/kWh Anticipated Summer 2014 The current Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP) phase 2 - scheme offers the homeowner a voucher worth 2000.00 for the install of a biomass system. Extended until March 2014 (T&C s apply)
