Domestic Biomass Boiler Installation

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Domestic installation

Tatano Kalorina/E 2202 (25kW)

The customer had an old oil fired boiler which had broken and was looking for a biomass alternative to replace it.

The customer needed heating and hot water for his relatively well insulated property (doubled glazed windows & roof insulation). In the light of his situation we recommend- ed a K2202 and also a 3 tonne pellet store to reduce the amount the customer had to refill the hopper.

TRECO custom-made an outhouse to store the boiler and the pellet store. The out-house was specifically designed to be in-keeping with the stye of the house i.e. the tiles are the same, the angle of the roof is in line and TRECO constructed a custom built gate.

The customer received a grant and TRECO custom-built all the components to be in-keeping with the property- perfect!

Church Biomass Boiler Installation…

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

GULWORTHY Church

BOILER:  Guntamatic Biocom 50

The Church needed to install a new boiler and originally considered the fossil fuel route. How-

ever, having ventured further into the project they realised a biomass alternative would not only

be more cost effective but also beneficial to the environment. The church was not well insulated

and there were no records of previous oil usage (because there had been no boiler) so TRECO

arranged a site survey in order to make the right recommendations. With the relevant informa-

tion gathered TRECO designed, constructed and installed a TRECOPod Special specifically for the

church. This was situated adjacent to the rear wall of the church and designed as not to interfere

with the architecture of the building.

They also received a hefty grant (around approx 80%) for their greener ways… what could be better??!! (well… probably 100%… but you can’t have it all…)

QUOTE from the Church: “The TRECO Team are very approachable, easy to talk to and couldn’t be nicer people to work with. A lot of the time we didn’t know what questions to ask, but the TRECO Team helped us brilliantly!”



Bristol Zoo biomass boiler Installation

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

BOILER: 2x Tatano Kalorina/E 2406 (70kW) Hot Air Machine

Bristol  Zoo contacted TRECO enquiring about the possibility of heating their ‘Butterfly House’ with a Biomass Hot Air Machine.

TRECO underwent a site survey and instructed the Zoo to construct a large enclosure reaching 8 meters high and to section off a control boiler room at either end.

Then TRECO installed the boilers, flues, ducting system and heating control system so the boiler’s would work together. However, in the event that one boiler should break down the other boiler would take over. Due to the nature of this project (being that the butterflies need heat to survive) it was imperative that this contingency plan was put in place.
