Project Solution

This service station is home to a 500kW Herz BioMatic biomass boiler. Located in Oxfordshire the service station sees hundreds of visitors every day as they travel for business or pleasure. The biomass system acts as the 'lead' heat source and it topped up by gas boilers automatically should the outside temperature dip below a setpoint trigger.

Pellets are delivered using a 'blower' vehicle which allows for a simple delivery mechanism.

Details

As a 24 hour service station, the services buildings require high levels of heat throughout the day, particularly during the heating season.

With the redevelopment of the services site, renewable heating or power was a building regulation necessity, and our client opted for biomass heating.

They required a solution that would not disrupt the site due to constant traffic and pedestrian movement. Thus a pre-fabricated packaged solution was suggested.

The benefits of this solution include the off-site prefabrication and testing, the compact size and available for delivery to site in a short turnaround time.

Rural Energy delivered the Herz boiler to the packaged plant room manufacturer and installed it before delivery to site and integration with the heating system. The plant room sits behind the main service building and is finished in a matching colour and style, blending in with the site.

Since this installation, out client have expanded their biomass remit to other sites. Rural Energy’s partner company has provided two more packaged solutions with Herz boilers.
