Sontex meters can take glycol - You just need to have them calibrated to show glycol levels. As far as I sontex are the only ones that can take or can be calibrated and conform. Speak to DMS meters - 01773 534555
Its down to the brand of meter you are installing, it will be a length of pipe that's a multiple of the diameter of the flow meter. All will be different. Typically x 5
On straw , makes it viable at Tier 2. I would say the biggest heat load is the industrial units. Are they insulated by any chance? Once warm they stay warm. We put a newly insulated roof on one of our units, heaters hardly on.
If you are buying your chip in at around 4p a kw against an RHI income of say 3p a kw.Tier 2 So unless you really need the heat it’s costing you 1p a kw.
About 2740T - £300,000 with RHI income of £272,000 (6p/2.6p) so your heating cost is £28,0000 or 1/3p per KW - exceptional value . Another 1/3p to service/spares/comply still very very cheap heat.
All in theory of course.
We have 1mw systems at approx. 5,000,000kw annually , which on straw are...
To hit the theoretical 8,760,000kw a year you will need 1000kw of demand every hour.
What are you using the boiler for and what is the max heat load on it?
You should have somewhere an OFGEM emissions certificate, it would have been part of your RHI application. This will state the fuel you can burn, how ever i cant see anywhere where it states a size G50 or G30.
Maybe its the EN XXXXXXX code that stipulates size.
Possibly the installer will...
I agree, its all green washing. I believe a levy will be payable depending on your % use of "sustainable" fuel - How they create that sustainable fuel wont come in to the equation I expect.
We are working with a firm that converts Miscanthus into jet fuel! The Miscanthus gets hammered and then pelletised, to reduce transport, then sent off for the magic to happen.
That’s what I assumed , they can’t or won’t. We are installing the boiler and ORC , but not the connection to Grid, so need a third party to gather the information and complete the form. We have tried the usual suspects but they also can’t .
AS Wilber said you need be to Hetas registered, and the NO level as per your emissions certificates, how ever the emissions read out is only stored by the person servicing, its not sent to Hetas or Ofgem
You would be on the commercial tariff, as you are heating several buildings, house and cottages. But your figures show the cost benefit of an oil system. As you say biomass wins when there is a large heat demand.
We are, but much larger capacity now - Big set up going in shortly with ORC electrical production. We have never really supplied less than 1Mw , but over the term of the RHI we supplied around 10% of the heat demand for the non domestic side.
