Biomass Systems

Within the next few years, with a rapidly growing global population, and limited fossil fuel supply, gas prices for example are expected to increase by 60%. These increases in costs are not sustainable or affordable to the average consumer, and they see very little benefit from supporting the suppliers of these fuels, who are often based abroad. With the recent economic crisis, fuel and energy need to play more of a role in supporting the local economy. Also, our dependence on fossil fuels is not only hitting our wallets, but also having a negative impact on the environment. Due to this fact governments are increasing taxation on the use of fossil fuels, which will make them even more expensive. This is why biomass and biomass systems need to be used to provide an alternative energy solution. The use of biomass would provide cheaper energy, support the local economy and reduce the impact of our energy needs on the environment.

Biomass Renewable Fuel Resources

Biomass is an abundant energy resource. Practically all around you there is some source of biomass would could be used in a sustainable way to generate energy. The other great thing about biomass is, that we currently generate huge volume through existing services and business that we have no use for in many cases. Even within the worlds largest cities. Take London for example, all year round trees around the city are managed to keep them healthy and manageable. The wood generated from this process in in the tens of thousands of tons each year, and still in many cases this would ends up in landfill. Sending this wood to landfill is not only a waste as it could be used in biomass systems, it actually costs the council money twice. Once to have the trees serviced and twice paying for landfill services. This would could be processed into pellets for example for biomass combustion systems. This would save the council on landfill costs, generate more jobs in processing the biomass into pellets, and also save the council money using pellets instead of paying the high prices of oil and gas. This is just one example of many.

Biomass Combustion Pellet Systems

One of the simplest and most efficient ways to use biomass in a combustion system is to upgrade the pellets in a pellet production system. Once the pellet is formed it is now is a highly durable and efficient form, with a high density and low moisture content. Pellets resemble small cylinders, and for fuel pellets they generally have a diameter of 6mm for pellet stoves and 8mm for wood pellet boilers. The pellets are loaded into a hopper system and fed on demand into the burn chamber. Here once up to temperature the pellets burnt hot and clean, producing no visible smoke. Thanks to the very low moisture content.
