Using biomass fuel to heat horticulture hothouses
Installation of biomass fuelled heating equipment for horticulture hothouses is one of the fastest growing applications in the Australian and New Zealand bioenergy sectors.
With a number of recent installations of modern biomass fuelled heating systems for horticulture hot house heating there is a growing pool of knowledge on their optimal sizing and use. As with all applications for biomass fuelled heating there is a need to learn from those that go before. Successful heating depends on the boiler design, its operating control systems, and on the solid biomass fuels to be used. The key is having experienced engineers and equipment suppliers who can build on their experience of a number of installations.
Attendees will:
- Hear about good and bad installations;
- Gain an understanding of the critical elements when designing the heating system;
- Understand the importance of specific solid biofuels matched against different boiler types;
- Learn how the fuel costs can be managed.
