Biomass Fuel Supplier, Bristol

Biomass Installation

Overview:

Challenge:
A biomass fuel supplier in Bristol required an efficient system to dry wet wood chips, making them suitable for resale to customers. The challenge was to develop a system that could handle high-moisture content fuel while maximizing
efficiency and profitability. Additionally, the client wanted a sustainable solution that qualified for the Commercial Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme.

Solution:MJS Energy designed and implemented a bespoke biomass heating and drying system that included:

A 999kW Kalvis wood chip boiler from Lithuania, specifically designed to burn fuel with high moisture content, enabling the client to utilize a significant amount of waste wood efficiently.
A large drying floor, allowing for optimal heat distribution to dry the wood chips effectively and consistently.
A turnkey solution, including system design, full installation, and integration with existing operations.

An international quality check, where MJS Energy visited the Kalvis manufacturing facility in Lithuania to inspect the boiler during its final production stage, ensuring its quality before delivery to the customer.
