Biomass

The simple combined heat and power solution

for biomass boilers

Install a Heliex GenSet and use Drop the pressure

the steam from your biomass
boiler to generate electricity and
provide heat for your process
needs. Enjoy a significantly
shorter payback on your project
and a typical return on the Heliex
GenSet of just one year.
Turning up the heat on your investment
If you’re in the UK then payments from
the government’s Renewable Heat
Incentive (RHI) will increase significantly
as you will qualify for a higher Combined
Heat and Power (CHP) tariff.
Your system may also be eligible for
payments through Renewable Obligation
Certificates (ROC’s) a financial support
mechanism for UK renewable electricity
projects.
The Heliex GenSet is installed after the
biomass boiler where it drops the steam
pressure and extracts energy from the
steam to generate electricity.
After the Heliex GenSet the steam can
be used for a process such as heating,
drying, cooling, hot water, space or
district heating.
Compatible with fluctuating flows
A key feature of the Heliex GenSet is
that it works well with fluctuating steam
flows, adapting and continuing to
generate electricity even when the heat
demand is low, for example during the
summer months.

Industry: Nursery Power: 132kW

Country: UK Model: HP145
Customer Profile: AMP plc/Villa Nursery

1.65 MW Combined Heat and Power (CHP) biomass facility at Villa Nursery in Essex,
will result in vastly reduced energy bills for the family business that supplies salad to
some of the UK’s largest supermarkets including Waitrose and Aldi.

In the project, fully financed by AMP plc, the Heliex GenSet has been installed
alongside a steam raising biomass boiler to form an impressive new steam
generating CHP facility. This will form part of the Villa Nursery’s sustainable
development programme over the next 20 years.

Industry: District Heating Power: 132kW

Country: Austria Model: HP145
Customer Profile: Municipal utility company
generating heat and power for local users

4MW biomass boiler is used to generate steam feeding a brewery and the local district
heating in this picturesque village close to Salzburg. High pressure steam out of the
boiler is directly delivered to the brewery while the remaining steam is reduced in
pressure via the Heliex HP145 GenSet before feeding the heat exchanger generating
hot water for the local district heating network.

The retrofit of the Heliex unit into the existing boiler house ensures the entire system is
eligible for government incentives in the form of Feed In Tariff (FIT) on the electrical
power generated, which make the project economics very attractive for the customer
allowing a payback time of around 2.5 years.
