Bio-Mass FAQ's
What is Biomass?
Biomass is any organic material made from plants or animals. Domestic biomass resources include agricultural and forestry residues, municipal solid wastes, industrial wastes, and terrestrial and aquatic crops grown solely for energy purposes. Biomass can be converted to other usable forms of energy and is an attractive oil & gas alternative for a number of reasons. First, it is a renewable resource that is more evenly distributed over the Earth's surface than are finite energy sources, and may be exploited using more environmentally friendly technologies. Agriculture and forestry residues, and in particular residues from paper mills, are the most common biomass resources used for generating electricity and power, including industrial process heat and steam, as well as for a variety of bio based products. Use of liquid transportation fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel, however, currently derived primarily from agricultural crops, is increasing dramatically.Which biomass system should I choose?
There are many factors to consider: fuel type, heating requirements, boiler size to name just a few. We will clearly explain all the options and advise you on the best solution for your circumstances. In the event that a biomass boiler is not appropriate for your renewable energy needs we will tell you, and more importantly explain why.How easy are biomass burners to use?
Modern biomass boilers are computer controlled for optimum efficiency and are easy to maintain and operate. Woodchips, pellets and other fuel types are delivered on a regular basis into a fuel store and then automatically fed into the boiler when demanded.Do biomass burners require more maintenance?
Yes. Compared to oil and gas, biomass fired systems require more specific maintenance procedures. As an optional extra you can choose to take out one of our maintenance plans. This option can give you complete piece of mind, ensuring that your biomass boiler system is always running at peak efficiency.Why are biomass boilers more expensive than conventional boilers?
Highly-efficient modern biomass boilers have more complex controls and function differently from conventional boilers they cost more to produce. On the other hand, your wood fuel boiler will last much longer than a conventional boiler (25-30 years rather than 5-10 years).Back To Top
