Assured-standard, quality wood chip fuel
supplies
One of the most important considerations
for anyone looking at installing a wood fuel
boiler is the quality, provenance and
reliability of their wood fuel supplies.
Until now, the lack of a consistent,
coordinated wood fuel supply infrastructure
has been the weak link that has hindered the uptake
of biomass fuel systems - it is
this issue that the Westwoods project has
been created to address.
Correct specification
wood chip is vital
The majority of problems experienced by biomass/woodchip boilers in
operation can be attributed to poor quality fuel supplies. Anyone considering a biomass boiler installation
must also ensure a reliable source of fuel of the correct specification.
Wood fuel with the wrong moisture content,
or worse, where other contaminants are
present such as paint, varnish or wood
treatments, can be rapidly detrimental to boiler performance. Many
boilers will simply shut down if the wood
chip supplied to it falls outside of its
optimum operating range.
Quality testing & assurance
A strict quality testing and assurance system is central to the Westwoods brokering
service, ensuring that all supplies meet or exceed the
client's required specification for wood
chip fuel, as well as promoting a general ethos of
both quality assurance and responsible,
sustainable practice throughout the supply chain.
Reliable & consistent supply
For the biomass energy consumer the Westwoods project offers the assurance of being able to operate your biomass boiler
with a reliable and consistent supply, together with confidence in price and quality. You will be assisted with the
tendering process to find a suitable supplier, and have the assurance of accessing our accredited network of wood chip fuel suppliers.
