About the facility:
Wood chips delivered by lorry are carried from the receiving station by a conveyor system to the 1,000 m3 storage silo. From the silo, a second conveyor system takes them to the fluidised bed boiler, where they are fed in by a screw feeder passing through the boiler wall. A rotary air lock prevents combustion air from flowing back. The system is designed for a feed capacity of 5 t/h.
