Converting a grain dryer from gas to biomass

Assessing the existing dryer

Provide dryer specifications, fans, ductwork, current heating and controls. Conversion changes both thermal and air systems, so comparing rated megawatts alone is insufficient.

Space for the system

Allow for the heater, bunker, fuel stock, flue path, maintenance access and ash handling. The arrangement depends on the site layout.

Comparing running costs

Compare fuel consumption under equivalent operating conditions. Include installation, electricity, labour and service. Compare seasonal costs using your data.

What the proposal includes

The heater model and package, agreed connections, work scope, price and supply terms. Operating conditions and acceptance criteria are defined for the project.
