If you are thinking of
going for commercial biomass boilers
at home, then it is certainly a highly approved idea especially, by the
environmentalists and fossil fuel experts. This is due to the fact that this
boiler reduces the long term fuel costs while supporting sustainable energy
consumption. This is clean and the best
part is the raw materials are readily available.
Factors
that support the biomass boilers
It is important to
remember that when talking of biomass, we still mean solid fuel. There can be
issues with the timely delivery of the system, its maintenance, storage and
care of fuel supplies. However, considering the long term benefits, these
factors get sidelined. Instead of this, the glorifying truth of their
eco-friendliness takes over.
Types
of raw materials that are used by biomass boilers
·
Waste wood: A favourite among the
environment conscious, this fuel is also cheap and easy to acquire.
·
Wood pellets: A dense and consistent
fuel, these too have been proven to act as a recycled source of energy. The
reason being, these are often minced out of waste timber.
·
Wood chips: These are cheaper than wood pellets but are bulky
and reliable all the same.
·
Wood logs: Though readily available,
they are not too loved nor are recommended. We all know that to get the wooden
logs, actual trees have to be put down. So, the whole purpose of using
sustainable options goes to waste.
Types
of stoves available
It is interesting to see
that these biomass boilers come in a wide range of types. This lets you be open
to more choices.
- Wood
burning stove: These are mostly used for heating of just one room and also
for the supply of hot water.
- Wood
burning stove with back boiler: Another stove that helps in generating
heat and providing hot water at the same time.
- Domestic
biomass boiler: These can be seen as specially designed for catering to
the domestic RHI schemes.
Also, there are boilers
that are a combination of all the above features. These are the ones that
provide heat to multiple rooms and give away hot water too. It is extremely
eco-friendly and highly affordable as the raw materials used are readily
available and no extra amount is required to serve this purpose.
