Temperton Room, Harper Adams University College, Edgmond, Newport,
Shropshire, TF10 8NB
Tuesday 27th April 2010, 9.00am – 4.30pm
The workshop entitled ‘Wood Fuel Heating Systems – A Practical Guide’ has been run successfully with funding through the Bioenergy WM Initiative at Harper Adams University College during 2009. The College are now pleased to announce that it will be running a fifth practical workshop on Wood Fuel Heating Systems on 27th April 2010 in conjunction with Black and Veatch Limited.
It will introduce businesses and organisations to a practical approach to assist with the decision as to whether or not to install a biomass based system. The Course Leader for the workshop will be Hayley Myles a senior consultant from the Global Renewable Energy Team at Black & Veatch Limited, and there will be a case study session taken by the Technical Sales Manager of Viessmann Limited who has worked in the ‘biomass’ sector for over 25 years. The cost of the workshop is £50 as it is presently subsidised.
Why you should attend the seminar:
If you are a farmer, small/medium sized business, landowner, rural enterprise, voluntary organisation or any type of concern who is considering the possible installation of a biomass system in the near future then this is the workshop for you. It is a practical day that will include project planning, choice, design and layout, fuel specifications, economics and consent issues. The workshop will introduce metrics and fuel calculators that will equip delegates with a useful, practical toolkit to take away and use in planning their own projects.
Delegates are encouraged to bring along utility bills and any boiler house or building size specifications they may have so that the ’pros and cons’ of a biomass system can be considered at their property or business site.
Who should attend?
- Farmers, small/medium sized businesses (SMEs), landowners , voluntary organisations, rural enterprises, not- for profit organisations
- Businesses considering the merits of whether to install a biomass system to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
