Rainbow Heat and Power are in the middle of a biomass boiler heating system installation at Bidford Health Centre, an NHS Primary Health Care Centre Practice in Warwickshire. The biomass boiler is being installed as part of a building project being managed by Hardyman Construction to develop a ‘health village’ with a wide range of new health services and an opening date of Easter 2014.
SL 150kW Biomass Boiler Heating System
The project incorporates the supply and installation of a SL 150kW Linder & Sommerauer biomass boiler which will run on EN Plus grade wood pellets. A 4,000 litre Buffer Store plus all associated fitting accessories including and auger and suction system for delivery of the wood pellets are also included.
Fuel Store in 15 Tonne Agricultural Silo
The fuel store will be fitted into a Collinson 15 tonne Biostor agricultural silo including an extraction auger. This gives the boiler a constant supply of wood pellets to ensure a reliable supply of heat.
The 60° cone and smooth internal walls of BioStor provide excellent mass flow for EN plus grade wood pellets and this solution is widely used in farming and rural applications.
