Open biofuel boiler house in Donetsk Bashny.Net

In the village. Starobeshevo (Donetsk region of Ukraine) has launched an upgraded boiler which runs on wood pellets. This project was implemented in cooperation with the international organization R-20. The main goal of the project is lowering the cost of heating a local hospital with more cheap heat energy from the use of alternative environmentally clean fuel.





The reconstruction project, the price of which is around €150 000, was the setting of the existing gas boiler high-efficiency equipment (two water-heating solid fuel boilers KWU 0, 5m with a total capacity of 1 MW) of the automated fuel system, device automation, and metering of heat energy, a even emergency alarm system.





The main fuel for the boiler — pellets, a backup is natural gas, as there were four existing gas boiler. Pellets with high dryness and higher density have a high calorific value — 4100-5000 kcal/kg, which is equal to the heating value of coal and two times higher than the calorific value of firewood.
