A full range of biomass boilers are offered in the Ashwell Bio Heat Cabin, each one bespoke to the customer’s requirements. External features The cabins are built within standard shipping containers and are available in various sizes from 10’ to 40’ in length and up to 9’6” in height. A range of decorative wood or steel claddings in a comprehensive range of colours to blend in with any situation are available. Boiler house design A computer aided design (CAD) system is used to design a layout offering optimum performance while giving consideration to future maintenance requirements of the boiler. As the sizing and integration of the system is crucial, Ashwell Biomass offer a complete hydronic consulting design to ensure that the biomass boiler is appropriately sized and can be integrated into a new or existing heating system. Any of our boilers of up to approx 400kW output can be incorporated within the design. Exact specifications will be dependent upon the customer’s requirements, size of container and the selected fuel type. Integrated fuel storage Fuel storage area will normally be incorporated within the same container and designed to maximise space and fuel feed efficiency. The most popular fuel type is usually wood pellets due to their consistency, and the fact that they offer a controllable fuel source, achievable due to their uniform nature. The high calorific value of wood pellets means that less storage space is required, an important factor in a restricted space. Ashwell biomass has its own fabrication facility and is able to construct most of these fuel bunkers in-house to design specifications. Likewise, fuel feed systems to suit individual project requirements are readily available Benefits The Bio Heat Cabin offers a cost effective biomass solution with the benefits of: Generous RHI subsidy for useful heat generated of up to 8.3p per kWh ease of installation – ‘plug in and go’ effective supplementary or back up heating system which can be switched on or off easily a portable solution - only a concrete plinth is required and the container is easily removable shorter lead times for planning lower costs of planning a low cost alternative to expensive permanent building costs Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme *NEW* The UK government has introduced the RHI scheme to encourage the switch to heat generated by renewable sources. This subsidy applies to qualifying biomass installations: ? Up to 8.3p paid per kWh of useful heat ? Tariff is dependent on the size of boiler ? Payable to owner of the equipment ? Payable on a quarterly basis, guaranteed for 20 years. ?

The project was to build new housing including the conversion of an existing barn on the estate. Description of problem before installation: New heating system to be installed as a result of a barn conversion to provide new housing. A plant room within the building would be limited due to the existing dimensions and also reduce living space. Solution: Containerised bespoke design – a complete heating system consisting of an EN303/5 compliant 60kW boiler plus bespoke bunker fuel store and accumulator tank within a container -a pre-wired and pre-piped solution to allow integration into the new heating system. The boiler featured lambda oxygen control to optimize efficiency, full modulation and automatic fuel ignition. This design allowed simple on-site installation due to the prefabricated flow and return system. The system was designed to ensure that it qualified for subsidy under the RHI scheme – see our separate document for details Wood chip was selected as the fuel of choice as this was already available on-site as a free fuel Benefits to customer: The use of the containerised solution removed the need to build a boiler house resulting in a low cost solution - reduced planning costs, shorter lead time due to shorter planning process and lower overall cost. Low CO2 with heating generated from the customer’s own fuel supply. Simple connection to mains supply. Qualification for RHI subsidy. Highlights: Containerised biomass solution, Bespoke pre-wired and pre-piped heating system within a container, Easy installation, Low planning costs and shorter application process, Enabled use of own fuel supply – free RHI subsidy with guaranteed income for 20 years.
