Background

Holwood Farm is a working pig farm situated in Saltash, Cornwall.

The Requirement

Rainbow Heat and Power were briefed to design, supply, install, commission and maintain a highly efficient and fully automated system.

The system would run on locally sourced wood chips and supply the farms two Pig Farrow Houses with heating.

Complete Biomass Heating Package

Rainbow Heat and Power designed, supplied, installed and commissioned a Lindner & Sommerauer 65kW Chip System with a 5000ltr Thermal Store.

The fuel store was built between one of the pig houses and an existing barn along with the boiler room to Rainbow Heat and Powers specifications.

Financial Benefit

As well as delivering fuel cost savings of 50-80% the installation will be accredited to the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), receiving payments for the next 20 years.
