Commercial Biomass - Energy from Biomass is produced by burning organic matter of recent origin such as timber. Biomass does not include fossil fuels, which have taken millions of years to evolve. The CO2 released during the generation of energy from biomass is balanced by the CO2 absorbed during the growth of the plant. This is considered to be a carbon neutral cycle.
People have been producing energy from Biomass for centuries, and in many parts of the world it is still the principle source of heat. Modern technologies are far more efficient at burning biomass fuels than open fires and an increasing range of fuels are being utilised.
Wood chip boilers have the benefit of being able to accept low or zero cost fuels for commercial and business applications.
Biomass includes forest products, untreated wood products, short rotation coppice (SRC) e.g. willow, miscanthus (elephant grass).
The heat produced from biomass can be used for heating buildings and industrial processes.
We also supply biomass Combined Heat and Power (CHP) which provides 100 kW of electricity and 200 kW of heat.
Wood pellets are a manufactured, compact form of wood fuel, which have a low moisture content and have a high energy density. Although wood pellets are more expensive than wood chip, they are easier to handle and ideal for automated systems.
The type of fuel you choose has a direct effect on the equipment and the storage space required.
The principles and technologies of wood pellet and wood chip boilers are very similar however wood pellet boilers are lighter in design than wood chip boilers and as a consequence wood pellet boilers are typicaly lower in price.
MGS has experience of designing installing and commissioning stand-alone biomass and combined technology systems in a wide range of new build and industrial projects.
We are able to take your project from concept through to commissioning or assist in any part of the project.
Our tendering department is always pleased to receive tender enquiries for pre specified projects.
We would be happy to discuss your project with you.
