16 September 2013 FARMERS are being invited to see a working biomass boiler on a farm in Exeter. The Renewable Heat at Work open day will see more than 30 biomass boiler owners throughout Devon opening their boiler house doors to the public. On Wednesday (September 18) and in conjunction with energy experts Regen, SW Highfield Farm in Topsham will hold a biomass open day from 2pm-7pm. Business owners and members of the public will be able to quiz the owners and installers on the benefits of using biomass or wood to heat their properties. They will also be able to explore how the fuel is processed and used. Ian Shears who runs the family farm at Highfield, Clyst Road, Topsham said: “It should be a very interesting day and well worth visiting if you are considering installing a biomass heating system. “If you have a large property that is expensive to heat – especially if you are using oil as a fuel – biomass or wood heating can offer massive economic and environmental benefits. Our 90kw boiler has performed extremely well since it was installed by Fairenergy in 2012, but I know from personal experience how useful it is to see a working installation if you are considering this technology. “On the day we will have a TP wood chipper in operation chipping our own seasoned coppice wood courtesy of A.T.Osborne Ltd, and we will also have a Hakke Pilke circular saw/splitter in operation”.
