A step forward in energy efficiency

The technology for achieving the highest possible heat yields is well advanced, but far from exhausted. Sophisticated technological innovations enable maximum efficiency. The aim is to make optimum use of wood as a sustainable resource. In future, heating plants for local and district heating will be able to generate even more heat from the same amount fuel and can thus counteract issues such as resource scarcity, landscape consumption and high supply volumes with forward-looking technologies.

Advantages

If additional efficiency-enhancing technologies are used in conventional biomass heating plants, the heat yield can be further improved. An increase in heat yield or fuel savings of up to 40 % are possible compared to a biomass boiler without downstream or upstream products to increase efficiency. It is therefore advisable to retrofit existing and new systems with efficiency-enhancing technologies from Schmid, regardless of the size of the system.

  • Absorption heat pump

    If an economizer (ECO) and an absorption heat pump are also integrated into a heating plant, an additional heat yield is possible and fuel consumption is reduced.

Efficiency-enhancing products for standard boilers

Schmid energy solutions is a Swiss family business that has been developing and building combustion systems for biomass since 1936. The innovative boilers with state-of-the-art technology are leaders in the market for renewable energy. The wide range of biomass combustion systems and the technology behind them are developed and manufactured in-house by Schmid energy solutions.

Biomass heating plants are always caught between economic efficiency, ensuring security of supply and complying with legal requirements. As a manufacturer of efficient wood-fired boilers, Schmid energy solution strives to develop sustainable energy solutions in order to operate heating systems as economically as possible.

Customers from a wide range of industries. Local and district heating networks, industrial companies, municipalities as well as forestry, timber construction companies, agriculture and horticulture find customized energy solutions from Schmid energy solutions. The innovative technology of Schmid boilers with the unique and newly developed "Revolution adaptive" combustion control system enables top performance in terms of energy efficiency and effectiveness. Schmid boilers are also low-maintenance and durable.

Biomass heating plants today face a variety of challenges, which can occur individually or in combination:

  • Profitability is to be increased
  • Sustainability targets to be achieved
  • More heat output is to be generated with (almost) the same building fabric, as there is no space to extend the fuel silo, for example
  • The biomass heating plant is to be expanded while generating as few additional resources as possible
  • The range of fuel quality should be extended due to fuel availability, e.g. Wood chips with a higher moisture content should also be burned

Rapid amortization possible
Amortization periods of less than 5 - 6 years can be achieved with at least 4,000 full operating hours per year, and even less than 4 years for systems with a nominal boiler output of at least 3,800 kW. The payback periods for various nominal outputs of the UTSR series are possible for the following boundary conditions:

  • Wood moisture M 55
  • Return temperature 55 °C
  • Flow temperature 85 °C
  • Financing interest rate 3 % / a
  • Heat production costs 0.07 EUR / kWh
