AvantiRenewables, a division of AvantiGas, a major off grid energy supplier, has announced a three-way commercial partnership that is set to bring environmental and financial savings to businesses looking for industrial biomass steam boilers.
The move follows the successful OFGEM RHI accreditation of a 1MW biomass steam boiler solution in Immingham on 14 August, which features a Byworth steam boiler. A 2MW version has also been commissioned and it is in the process of obtaining its RHI accreditation.
Collaborating with Byworth Boilers, one of the UK’s leading commercial steam biomass boiler manufacturers, and Janfire UK, a provider of Swedish burners and technology, AvantiRenewables says the new enterprise will provide a ‘whole solution’ approach to businesses by combining decades of operational knowledge, engineering expertise and resources to provide a complete biomass steam boiler package for large scale steam applications. This includes capital funding and ESCO (Energy Supply Contract) providing brand new technology and high efficiency, low carbon energy to the customer with no upfront capital commitment. The company says that the added security of the AvantiRenewables biomass fuel supply chain operation closes the end to end supply chain delivery, with the added benefit of optional LPG back up supplies.
Targeting specifically large import/export storage facilities, major chemicals processing sites, the food and drink preparation industry and other prominent off grid oil markets, the steam boiler solutions are predicted to deliver CO2 savings of around 2,000 tonnes each year per MW of installed capacity.*
Managing director of AvantiGas, Neil Murphy, said: “This partnership reflects a significant leap in energy provision with three key industry players joining forces to bring cost, environmental benefits and energy savings through robust engineering solutions to the UK’s producer businesses. We are delighted to be working alongside two established manufacturers who have a combined 70 years expertise to collectively, deliver the very best in steam boiler technology giving a cost effective option for businesses using steam as part of their product production.”
