biomass
Biomass is plant or animal material used as fuel to produce electricity or heat. Examples are wood, energy crops and waste from forests, yards, or farms. Since biomass technically can be used as a fuel directly (e.g. wood logs), some people use the terms biomass and biofuel interchangeably. More often than not, the word biomass simply denotes the biological raw material the fuel is made of. The word biofuel is usually reserved for liquid or gaseous fuels, used for transportation. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) follows this naming practice.The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) defines bioenergy as a renewable form of energy. In 2017 the IEA (International Energy Agency) described bioenergy as the most important source of renewable energy. IEA also argues that the current rate of bioenergy deployment is well below the levels required in low carbon scenarios, and that accelerated deployment is urgently needed. Researchers have disputed that the use of forest biomass for energy is carbon neutral.
Amp Clean Energy are looking for biomass service engineers south/ south east to carry out services, reactive and proactive maintenance and breakdowns to all makes of boilers. Good pay, new van, loads of training. PM me for more info
hello,
Just a quick question, there has been a fire involving a Biomass boiler and I am just wondering what are the main issues with biomass boilers. Could a mechanical issue cause the fire as it has a auger fed pellet supply and the fire looks to be in the area of the motor and above (the...
Hi All, hopefully a simple question, but wanted to ask those who've a bit more experience than myself.
Obviously an UFH system would normally (in a typical gas/combi boiler scenario) send a call for heat from the boiler, firing the boiler into life.
I have a Biomass (wood pellet) boiler (with...
Hi.
New to the forum and only a keen diy-er but hopefull someone can help. I've done several full domestic heating systems over the years albeit conventional open vented ones.
This time i have a non-domestic(workspace) system planned.
I'll set it out briefly.
20KW 'Burnit wbs active'...
i had this emailed to me from my boss this morning so I thought i'd share it with you if anyone is interested in moving into biomass servicing. If you want more info about what the job entails, or the benefits etc, send me a pm and we can have a chat.
"We are recruiting into the Service and...
Has anyone heard anything at all about what might be happening going forward, I heard that the small biomass commercial and domestic tariff is likely to degress a further 10% next quarter but no impact on any other categories/technologies but still no inkling of whether the RHI will continue...
Interesting news from Froling and a few others the other day that they are planning to offer a re-rated version of their 199kW boilers at 205KW (same boiler, different badge) as the the tariff for 200kWth - 1MWth was not subject to degression and is now higher that the up to 200kWth :) ...
Hi,
I recently installed a Klover PB 35 wood pelet boiler which is installed with a 1000 litre accumulator tank and is piped in series onto an existing s-plan heating system which has around 20 radiators and a 300 litre indirect vented hot water cylinder. Between the boiler and the buffer, i...
OK, A nice technical one for the Bank Holiday Weekend :)
Buffer tanks - 2 port connection or 4 ?
Which is best 2 or 4 port, in What situation and why?
What factors e.g. does it depend upon the heating load types (e.g. underfloor / simple zone controlled rads)
So under what circumstances...
I've been doing some work for a good customer of mine on a residential home. It's a converted 300 yr old hall with 24 bedrooms on 3 floors as well as 3 bathrooms, dining room common room and kitchens, and as you can imagine, the system has been modified alot since c/h was first installed...
Unsure of which forum to put this in.
Can the kwb easyfire be run a sealed system or biomass like any other solid fuel and needs to be open vented.

Hi forum im New to The game, I just wanna ask whats the difference between oil boiler and the gas boiler? Are there different components? Jets? Etc etc.

Hello there,
thanks for taking the time to read this. Bit of a tricky one I think. I got called to a biomass boiler installation about 2 years old (not mine) where the central heating pipes inside the house are banging when the water temp at the boiler gets to 40 odd degrees. It is a 40kW herz...
Hi Everyone
Just wanted to ask Biomass installers how much they charge to install biomass for another company, so with the possibility of more work?
We have been in touch with some companies and a couple have got back to us, one with some good rates and another with what I find to be a...
Hi there everyone, just wanted to ask if there is any plumber out there that could install my new biomass attack boiler for me, before the wife leaves home due to living in a fridge. Its a 35kw domestic boiler with lambard included. Now im in the country so if there is anyone living near the rye...
Afternoon folks,
advice needed, I want to head my company down the biomass install market at the moment, I've been involved in district heating and biomass install but I want to be able to certify and be involved in the whole project rather than just parts, what's required by my company to...
Not sure whether to put this in the renewables section!!
This is a walking floor feeder for one of our boiler installations. It feeds 2x 1Mw biomass boilers and uses around 4 tonnes of chip in 24hrs. It is the first Hertz walking floor fitted in this country.
sorry for the side view camera
