Professional Biomass Boiler Maintenance
What is Biomass?
Ecolution’s specialist engineers offer effective maintenance packages for biomass boilers. We deliver both planned preventative service regimes and 24/7 reactive call out services to prevent system failures and keep your system running smoothly.
Compared to other heating systems, biomass boilers provide lower fuel costs and environmental impact. They boast over 90% efficiency which means there are few losses. A biomass boiler produces heating by burning chips, logs, or wood pellets. This makes it ideal for buildings located in remote areas with minimal access to gas.
Biomass boilers also qualify for the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme (RHI), which incentivises owners for using renewable heating technologies in their home or business. Through the RHI, owners may receive quarterly tariff payments for every kW of renewable heat their technology produces, providing them with a faster return on investment.
As a renewable technology, biomass boilers can lower your carbon footprint and minimise effects of climate change.
What is included in an annual biomass boiler service?
A flue gas analysis to assess the boiler’s efficiency during working conditions.
Boiler and bunker feed screws are thoroughly inspected and cleaned when needed.
Electrical inspection of boiler connections and control panel.
Geared seals, bearings, and motor units are inspected and greased if needed.
General examination of associated feeding equipment.
General assessment of the boiler.
Evaluation of anti-burn back protection/safety equipment.
Inspection of the automatic ignition system.
Internals within the heat exchanger are carefully examined and cleaned.
Primary and secondary airway ports are rid of carbon build up.
The importance of regular maintenance
Regular preventive maintenance will boost boiler performance, efficiency, and lifespan. Our specialists will ensure the boiler’s fire tubes are cleared of ash to ensure optimal efficiency. Ash that remains in the tubes insulates heat transfer. As a result, heat is sent up the exhaust instead of reaching the boiler water.
A well-serviced biomass boiler will require less fuel and make all internal combustion parts last longer. Additionally, regular maintenance will help decrease downtime and emergency breakdowns, reducing the amount of money spent on repairs and replacements.
Our renewable energy specialists are fully trained to perform diagnostics on biomass boilers. Apart from in-depth inspections, we will also recommend system improvements to ensure maximum fuel savings and trouble-free operations.
Why choose Ecolution for your boiler maintenance?
Improper maintenance is a common reason why renewable technologies do not last. Lack of boiler care can also lead to loss of RHI payments. Therefore, you need a maintenance package that will not only reduce breakdowns, but also enhance generation and energy efficiency.
The number of times planned maintenance should be performed will depend on boiler type, age, size, and usage levels. While maintenance is usually done annually, our engineers will help determine if your boiler needs more frequent inspections.
