System Overview
Strawson’s Energy is the world’s single largest grower and supplier of willow short rotation coppice (SRC). The Strawson group approached Watt Energy Saver to deliver a new boiler capable of burning this high quality fuel and deliver energy savings across the head office site in North Nottinghamshire.
In doing so, the Strawson group has managed to save nearly 25,000kg of CO2 per year as well as benefit from the generous RHI.
Plant & Fuel
The new Veto 199kW boiler was installed in place of the existing boiler. This is fed by a 21m³ silo located in the adjacent barn. The silo is filled via a tractor bucket (Approximately 20 times / year) and contains an inbuilt spring agitator which feeds the boiler via a 3m auger.
The Veto boiler was chosen for its simplicity and robust design. With no internal moving parts, any maintenance can be carried out simply and without the need to strip the boiler and or system down to access.
Due to the fact that the moving parts are not within the boiler, it is not uncommon for the boilers to last for 45 years or more! This provides the customer with confidence that the system will work day after day and in the worst possible conditions this Country can offer!
Benefits
Watt Energy Saver offers a turnkey solution. From detailed planning, design, installation, commissioning and registration.
Upon final sign off from Ofgem, this system will have a total annual benefit of over £40,000 per year to the Strawson group. Coupling these financial rewards with the environmental benefits makes this Biomass Boiler installation a win win scenario.
Scheme
Wood chip boiler and fuel delivery system to provide heating and hot water to rural business park via district heating main.
Driver
To remove dependence on fossil fuels, make use of energy crops produced by the Strawson Family and qualify for RHI.
System
199kW Veto c/W 21m³ Fuel storage silo, automated de-ashing ( 0 .96m³ Ash bin) and cyclone system
Fuel
40mm Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) Willow. The energy crop is produced locally. It is anticipated that the system will require 110 tonnes of fuel per year.
CO2 Offset
Over a 20 year period, the system will save nearly half a million tonnes of CO2
Savings
By converting to Biomass, the energy bill will be reduced by around £20,000 per year.
Benefits
The RHI will generate an index linked income stream for the next 20 years. The first year will be worth approximately £23,500.
