1. Background Yelvertoft Primary School has identified a need for a new biomass boiler facility within the
school site. The school is sited in the village of Yelvertoft - a small village of 851 residents
and 356 houses (2001 census), located within the Daventry District Council area, within
rural Northamptonshire.
This planning statement has been prepared to support the application and to highlight
relevant development plan and other planning policies / guidance and assesses these
against the proposal to develop the application site.
Scheme description
The proposed development is a small scale biomass boiler to supply space heating to a
rural village primary school, located in the Daventry District of West Northamptonshire.
The proposed biomass boiler plant will have a thermal capacity of 60kW and will use wood
pellet as feedstock. Since the plant is sized above 45kW thermal capacity, it does not fall
within permitted development [reference:
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/748/made/data.pdf].
The biomass boiler, auxiliary plant (including circulation pumps), controls, thermal (hot
water) storage and biomass fuel storage are to be enclosed in a rectangular cuboid
container of length 9.2m, width 2.6m and height 2.9m. The flue is to be 3.5m high. The
container is to be cladded with wood and the flue is to be made of steel. The dimensions
of the plant are shown in the attached drawing (file ref: TENDER YELVERTOFT L1 -
PROPOSED BIOMASS LAYOUT+images_2014-04-15v3.pdf / drawing ref. TENDER YELVERTOFT
L1). Orthographic visualisations accompany the elevation views on this drawing.
The biomass boiler is to be located alongside the kitchen pod and the outdoor classroom
at the far end of the car park from the driveway entrance. The location of the plant room
is shown in the attached site plan drawing (file ref.: Yelvertoft biomass boiler location
2014-04-17v1[D0198Mv15v1 Design 1-2500].pdf / drawing ref. D0198A-Z3). The existing oil
tank is to be removed from its current position in the car park and replaced by a smaller
oil tank to be co-located with the biomass boiler plant (file ref.: Yelvertoft biomass boiler
location 2014-04-17v1[D0198Mv15v1 Design 1-100].pdf / drawing ref.: D0198A-Z1). This
may be compared with the existing car park form (file ref.: Yelvertoft biomass boiler
location 2014-04-17v1[D0198Mv15v1 Original 1-100].pdf / drawing ref.: D0198A-Z2). There
will be a fenced enclosure on 3 sides with the north west end of the biomass boiler plant
room on the 4th side, containing the new oil tank and the recycling bins (moved from their
current position). This will be wooden fence with gated access to the bins and the
container fill tube, and oil tank. The existing oil boiler will be retained as back-up plant
only and with its low level of utilisation, much less oil storage will be required – hence the
smaller oil tank. The reduction in size of the oil tank and its relocation reduces the impact
of the biomass boiler plant room on parking space by freeing up space in the centre of the
car park. The end section of the driveway wall (furthest away from the biomass boiler) is
to be removed. This allows greater manoeuvrability by the school minibus on entrance and
exit, with its parking position having been shifted through the introduction of the biomass
boiler. A road safety barrier is to be introduced, extended from the remaining section of
driveway wall over a distance of 7m. The section of wall to be replaced is in poor
3 16th April 2014
condition and a lower barrier will give increased visibility, with accompanying safety
benefits. The vehicle barrier will extend from the end of the car parking space nearest the
school vehicular entrance (the vehicle barrier is represented by the grey line shown in
drawing D0198A-Z1).
2. Planning policy context
Bioenergy Strategy
The strategic framework for biomass nationally is contained within the UK Bioenergy
Strategy(2012) which is supportive of the role that biomass can play in meeting the 2020
renewable energy targets as well as longer term carbon reduction targets
[https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-bioenergy-strategy ]. However, it does
recognise that, in order to achieve this ambition, biomass supplies will need to be sourced
sustainably. The strategy is supportive of the use of biomass from wastes and the use of
biomass for heat, transport and electricity. It supports the use of biomass to provide low
carbon heat for buildings and industry (process heating), through either biomass boilers or
through use of biomethane. Use of recoverable waste heat from low carbon power
generation or industrial processes is also an important component of this [bioenergy
deployment] pathway.
National policy
Published in March 2012 the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out the
Government’s planning policies for England. The document provides a framework within
which local councils and communities can produce their own local and neighbourhood
plans reflecting the needs and priorities for their area.
In terms of renewable and low carbon energy, the NPPF is supportive of a transition to a
low carbon future and encourages the use of renewable resources (reference Core
Planning Principle 17/NPPF). It states that local councils should plan for new development
in locations and ways that reduce greenhouse gas emissions (reference clause 95/NPPF).
The NPPF also states that to help increase the use and supply of renewable and low carbon
energy, local planning authorities should recognise the responsibility on all communities to
contribute to energy generation from renewable or low carbon sources. In doing so they
should support community-led initiatives for renewable and low carbon energy. The NPPF
states that opportunities should be identified for developments to use energy from
decentralised, renewable or low carbon energy supply and co-locating potential heat
customers and suppliers. (reference clause 97/NPPF)
The proposal accords with the Government’s NPPF requirements to increase the use of
renewable and low carbon energy and to support community-led initiatives. This applies to
the Yelvertoft Primary School biomass project, whereby the school has been defined as
integral to the definition of community within the overarching European funded project
that it is part of. The Yelvertoft Primary School biomass project fits well with the
requirement for developments to use energy from decentralised supplies. It is one of a
number of schools (currently five) to be supported by the European-funded ZECOS project
and, together with the other schools, there is the potential to take advantage of the co-
ordinated fuel supply, giving potential benefits both in terms of reduced cost, but also
4 16th April 2014
reduced transportation requirements and therefore environmental benefit. This would
contribute to the NPFF aim to co-locate potential heat customers and suppliers.
Saved District Policies
The Daventry District Local Plan was adopted in 1997. The Saved Policies of the Plan will
remain in force until replaced by policies in the emerging Local Development Framework
[as per Direction under Paragraph 1(3) of Schedule 8 to the Planning and Compulsory
Purchase Act 2004].
The Local Development Framework for the District comprises Development Plan
Documents and Supplementary Planning Documents. The Local Development Scheme is
essentially a public statement identifying which Local Plans will be produced, when and by
whom, over a three year period. The Local Development Scheme for West
Northamptonshire (Daventry District, South Northamptonshire and Northampton) was
approved by the Joint Strategic Planning Committee on 12th June 2012 [A Local
Development Scheme (LDS) For West Northamptonshire]. This Local Development Scheme
is being prepared at a time when the provisions of the Localism Act and the National
Planning Policy Framework have recently taken effect. It is envisaged that the abolition of
Regional Strategies and associated Regional Spatial Strategies included in this legislation
will take place soon. Until the likely abolition of the Regional Spatial Strategy, it, together
with the Local Plans referred to in this Local Development Scheme, and ‘saved policies’
from existing Planning Policy Documents (until such time as they are superseded), will
form the Development Plan, which is the basis for all planning decisions.
The Approved West Northamptonshire Local Development Scheme (June 2012) states that
is important to ensure that the Local Development Documents, set out in the Local
Development Scheme are prepared efficiently and without delay, particularly the West
Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy (or Local Plan) in the light of the Government’s
commitment to a national presumption in favour of sustainable development, as set out in
the National Planning Policy Framework.
The Saved Policies from the Daventry District Local Plan (June 1997) were saved on 28th
September 2007 and published in November 2010. The relevant policies to this proposal
are also referred to in the Renewable Energy Leaflet issued by Daventry District Council
(http://www.daventrydc.gov.uk/EasySiteWeb/GatewayLink.aspx?alId=28735) – this states
that there are no local plan policies that relate specifically to renewable energy
development; however there are a number of general policies on which any proposal will
be assessed. The proposed development complies with the following relevant (saved)
Local Plan policies:
GN2 (type, scale, design)
EN42 (design).
The project addresses Policy GN2 and Policy EN42 with a design that is in keeping with the
local environment with adverse impact on surrounding amenities.
5 16th April 2014
Type, scale, design
The application relates to the installation of a biomass boiler facility adjacent to an
existing school building. The only external changes proposed include the construction of a
structure within which the biomass boiler is to be housed with materials which are already
found within the school buildings, and a new flue, which will terminate above the roof of
the plant room, which is adjacent to the main school building, with its roof punctuated by
existing structures.
The school is located on corner of High Street and School Lane, close to the roadside. The
proposed biomass boiler facility will be sited to the north of the main school campus. With
regards to residential amenity, the school site is surrounded by existing residential
development on three boundaries. The nearest residences are 25m or beyond from school
buildings, across High Street to the south, along School Lane to the east and northeast and
along Hillmorton Lane to the South/Southwest.
Due to the small scale of the biomass plant and its housing and location at the rear of the
school campus, it is not expected to impact on the amenities of neighbouring residential
properties. The proposal is therefore considered to accord with saved Policy GN2 of the
Local Plan.
Policy GN2 seeks to ensure that all new development is designed to the highest possible
standard, which includes the use of sustainable and traditional materials. The building to
house the proposed biomass facility is relatively modern in design. The proposed external
changes will complement the existing materials prevalent within the school, which are not
considered to have any unacceptable impact on the overall character and appearance of
the building/area.
The new biomass boiler facility will be installed adjacent to an existing building, with
minimal changes proposed, and with no change to the principle use of the site as an
educational establishment. Given the above, there is not considered to be any conflict
with Policy GN2.
Site access
Access to the site will be gained from the existing access from School Lane, as shown on
the submitted drawings. The school will continue to operate as normal for the duration of
the construction works, with restricted times during which deliveries of construction
materials will not be permitted. The school will manage the delivery of material/fuel and
the parking of delivery vehicles in order to ensure this does not impact on the functioning
of the educational establishment. Given that existing vehicular access is to be utilised for
the development, and that the delivery of materials, both for construction and for future
operational use will be managed by the school, there is not considered to be any impact
on highway safety. The store will hold minimum of 5 tonnes of wood pellet, which
surpasses the 180 hours equivalent running time requested by the Council. If it is assumed
the boiler runs at full output for 8 hours each day, it would be expected that the store
would require re-filling approximately once a month, transported by truck.
6 16th April 2014
The provision of the new boiler plant to the site will not affect the parking allowances, as
there is no increase in staff numbers and parking spaces are to be maintained by reducing
the size and changing the location of the oil tank, as well as optimising the car park layout.
Landscaping and archaeology
The area around Yelvertoft is relatively flat characterised by small to medium size open
fields bounded by traditional field hedges.
There are several listed buildings in Yelvertoft though the school building is not listed. The
nearest listed building to the proposed development site buildings is at approximately 60m,
a Grade II Tudor cottage on the corner of School Lane and High Street. The nearest
scheduled monument is St Andrews Church (remains of) at approx. 1.3km to the north.
Due to the proposed design and scale of the biomass boiler, the proposed development
will not result in any conflict with any existing landscaping and archaeology within the
school site and beyond.
Ecology
There are no statutory ecological designations within 500m of the site. The nearest
designations are:
Traditional orchard Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) priority habitat at 640m SE
Woodland BAP priority habitat at 740m SE.
The nearest SSSI is at approx. 3.3km to N, Stanford Park
www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/special/sssi/unit_details.cfm?situnt_id=1000800.
The site is within a bird conservation targeting project (BCTP) area for grey partridge
[https://data.nbn.org.uk/Datasets/GA000811] and within a nitrate vulnerable zone (NVZ).
The proposed location of the biomass plant site is assessed to be of low ecological
importance consisting of non-natural, poor quality habitat.
Due to the small size of the proposed biomass plant and the location being in the car park,
which is already an artificial surface, in addition to the distance of important ecological
sites, it is concluded that there is negligible likelihood of protected species being present
with no mitigation measures required for the development. The proposal will not
therefore have any impact on upon any protected species. However in the unlikely event
should any protected species be found during the installation of the development, the
applicant will ensure that the necessary obligations under The Wildlife & Countryside Act
1981 will be adhered to.
Flood risk and water resources
The location of the site and the nature of the proposal will not raise any flood risk issues.
The site is located within Flood Zone 1 - land assessed as having a less than 1 in 1,000
annual probability of river or sea flooding (<0.1%). It is also at Very Low Risk of Flooding
from Rivers and Sea and from Surface Water and at no risk from reservoirs. As such, no
flood risk assessment is requiredi.
The nearest water resources to the site are:
7 16th April 2014
River/stream approximately 400m to the north east and approximately 240m to the
east/south east (along Crick Road and to the north).
Nearest pond is 260m to the north.
Due to the scale of the plant and the enclosed loading of biomass pellets, no impacts on
water resources are expected.
Air quality
The proposed development is of a small scale and not expected to result in any local air
quality impacts. An air quality assessment will be submitted along with the planning
application to demonstrate this.
No air quality management areas have been identified within Daventry borough, i.e. no air
quality targets are at risk of being breached [2012 Air Quality Updating and Screening
Assessment for Daventry District Councilii,
http://www.daventrydc.gov.uk/business/environmental-health/pollution-control/air-
quality-management/].
The proposed boiler installation will comply with the BS EN 303-5:1999 emissions standard,
as referred to in the attached Air Quality Assessment documentation.
Daventry DC adopted an Energy and Development Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) in March 2007. It provides guidance on maximising the use of renewable energy and on improving energy efficiency. The document describes biomass fuel and states that it can be used to heat domestic and non-domestic buildings. Paragraph 4.48 sets out the local benefits of biomass: “Producing energy from biomass has both environmental and economic advantages. It is most cost-effective when a local fuel source is used, which results in local investment and employment. Furthermore, biomass can contribute to waste management by harnessing energy from products that are often disposed of at landfill sites.”
The proposed project is in support of this SPD through the use of biomass fuel.
Neighbourhood Planning has been introduced through the Localism Act 2011 and forms
part of the statutory planning process. The role of a Village Design Statement is to provide
more detailed design guidance for a parish and to supplement the planning policies of the
local planning authority. They are prepared by Parish Councils, and following consultation
they are adopted by the Council as Supplementary Planning Documents. Yelvertoft
villagers have set up a steering committee with the advice of the District Council and are
in the process of producing a Parish Plan and Village Design Statement
(http://www.chantler.plus.com/Yelvertoft-Portal/VDS/index.htm).
West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy
The West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy (JCS) is a key part of the Local
Development Framework. The Core Strategy sets out the long-term vision and objectives
for the whole of the area covered by Daventry District, Northampton Borough and South
Northamptonshire Councils for the plan period up to 2026, including strategic policies for
steering and shaping development. It identifies specific locations for strategic new housing
and employment and changes to transport infrastructure and other supporting community
facilities, as well as defining areas where development will be limited. It also helps to
8 16th April 2014
ensure the co-ordination and delivery of other services and related strategies. The Joint
Core Strategy, as amended by the Proposed Changes, has now been submitted to the
Secretary of State for Examination. He has appointed a Planning Inspector who will shortly
conduct a Public Examination of the document.
The overall aim of the Pre-Submission JCS is to deliver sustainable development and this
aim continues and is supported by Proposed Changes which ensure the policy basis is
robust and in line with the new National Planning Policy Framework. Proposed Changes
include some rewording of the Pre-Submission JCS Policy on Sustainable Development
Principles (Policy S10) including reference to development being designed to improve
environmental performance, energy efficiency and adapt to a changing climate over its
lifetime. A new policy entitled Low Carbon and Renewable Energy (Policy S11) has been
introduced via the Proposed Changes and this requires major development to contribute to
reductions in carbon dioxide emissions.
The overall aim of West Northamptonshire’s Pre-Submission Joint Core Strategy is to
deliver sustainable development. Policies S10 and S11 (proposed) aim for energy efficiency
and the requirement for major developments to contribute to reductions in carbon dioxide
emissions. Though the proposed school development is small in scale, it will increase the
take-up of renewable energy supplies, particularly biomass energy.
Biomass energy is expected to play a key role in Northamptonshire’s ability to meet
renewable energy and carbon dioxide emissions reduction targets. Biomass schemes are
becoming increasingly popular as a result of financial incentives and the increasing cost of
fossil fuels. Much of West Northamptonshire is rural in nature with a dispersed network of
almost 190 villages and hamlets. The rural communities account for approximately one-
third of West Northamptonshire’s population. In Daventry and South Northamptonshire
districts the percentage of people living in rural communities is as high as 75%. With the
lack of the connection of the school to the gas network, there is the additional benefit of
utilising biomass energy of offering increased security of supply of heat.
It is however important to ensure that biomass is produced sustainably and to get the right
balance between food production and energy production. Biomass fuels are those derived
from replenishable plant material that can be converted into energy and therefore can be
regarded as a renewable energy. Where wood is the biomass fuel used this should be used
from sustainable sources. Using locally sourced wood stimulates the management of local
woodland which can help to improve biodiversity, increase rural employment and keep
revenue in the local economy while also minimising transport emissions. A number of
options for biomass fuel have been explored for Yelvertoft and wood pellet has been
concluded as the most suitable. Miscanthus (or elephant grass), whilst grown locally, has a
detrimental impact on boilers and major component replacement, as well as additional
maintenance, would be expected over the life of the biomass boiler, as well as increased
capital cost at the outset. This would result in excessive expenditure and a need to reduce
the number of projects, given budget constraints and therefore miscanthus has been ruled
out. Wood chip, also available locally, has been assessed, but requires significantly more
space than wood pellet and results in a far less clean operation than wood pellet, with
inevitable spillage around the fuel store on delivery. In the case of Yelvertoft, the only
realistic location for the biomass plant is in the school car park, where there is inadequate
9 16th April 2014
additional space for woodchip and a need to keep the area tidy, given that it is at the
entrance to the school for vehicles.
3. Consultations, pre-submission Northamptonshire County Council planning officers have been approached for guidance on
requirements for the biomass boiler plant application. They gave feedback on the
requirements for studies to be undertaken and referred to Daventry District Council for
environmental health matters. The Daventry local environmental health officers have
been consulted on this project and have provided guidance on information to be provided
by the applicant on the biomass boiler plant that affects local air pollution and local air
quality issues. This information is provided in the air quality assessment documentation
accompanying this application. Details on communications with the planning officers are
as follows:
1. Meeting with Peter Moor (NCC/planning) and Phil Watson (NCC/planning manager)
on the 13th of January 2014
2. Correspondence with Peter Moor and conversation between Julian Steele and Peter
Moor and Daventry officers
3. Correspondence on air quality with Nick Ravine (by email 3/2/2014) and Mike
Jephcott (by email 10/2/2014)
4. Review meeting with Peter Moor on the 24th of March 2014
Community biomass boiler information events were hosted on 2nd October 2012 and the 4th
October 2012. The purpose of these were for school representatives to understand what is
involved in having a biomass boiler at the school, about the benefits are and about the
opportunity for funding through the ZECOS project. Questions from the schools’
representatives were addressed and their views were taken on board in the next steps of
project development. Subsequent Zero CO2 community events were hosted in February
2014 for all members of the local community, at which local residents came to find out
what measures were possible in their community, including biomass boilers, as well having
the opportunity to offer their views on different energy measures. There is an ongoing
programme of these Zero CO2 community events in 2014.
Yelvertoft Primary School sent out information on the project in their newsletter on the
4th of April 2014 and has posted the same information to neighbours.
4. Conclusion The siting of the biomass facility and the associated external changes will have no impact
on residential amenity, any existing landscaping, the amenity of the wider area or on
highway safety or pupils. The external changes proposed are minimal in nature, with the
proposed materials to match those already found within the school campus.
The proposal is therefore considered to comply with the development plan policies and
Central Government advice referred to within this statement, and is considered therefore
to represent an acceptable form of development for which planning permission should be
granted.

i Planning applications for development proposals of 1 hectare or greater in Flood Zone 1 and all proposals for new development located in Flood Zones 2 and 3 should be accompanied by an FRA. [Local requirements Reg 3, NCC - County Council Regulation 3 Applications Local List Requirements] ii This Updating and Screening Assessment has concluded that Daventry District Council is not required to carry
out a Detailed Review and Assessment for carbon monoxide, benzene, 1,3-butadiene, lead, nitrogen dioxide, PM10or sulphur dioxide. The recent Progress Report 2011 was completed in December 2011. The data for NO2 monitoring results in the vicinity of the M1 (the data included results to the end of 2010) concluded that there was no exceedance of the annual average at points representative of relevant exposure. Therefore no detailed assessments were recommended in the report. The collective monitoring data for NO2 across the district from the years preceding 2005 to date has been scrutinised and it appears that overall a small decreasing trend in levels is taking place. Previously kerbside monitoring sites to the M1 have shown slight exceedences, however these are now within acceptable limits. Only two locations in Daventry District exceed the annual average limits. These monitoring locations are alongside the M1 at Lilbourne, and alongside the M1 at Crick. Neither has any appropriate receptors that exceed the annual average. It is therefore not necessary to proceed to a detailed assessment for NO2 in Daventry district; however diffusion tube monitoring throughout the district will continue and due regard given to the data obtained in relation to sensitive receptors. A review of diffusion tube locations is planned before the next progress report is issued.

Biomass Boiler Renewable Energy and Climate Change Statement
Prepared by: Date:
Rupert Blackstone, Wattcraft Limited (Project Engineer) 16/4/2014
Approved by: Date:
Julian Steele, Energy and Carbon Management Team, Northamptonshire County Council
16/4/2014
1. Introduction The proposed development at Yelvertoft Primary School comprises a containerised biomass
boiler plant of 60kW thermal capacity, using wood pellet as feedstock.
2. Renewable Energy The wood pellet fuel will be from a sustainable resource – the wood from which it is
produced is to be from sustainable forestry and certified accordingly. There will be
possible non-renewable energy consumption during production of the wood pellet from
sawmill co-product in particular through the compression process. There may also be non-
renewable energy consumption at each stage of transportation of the fuel - in its raw form
to the sawmill, from the sawmill to the pellet production plant and from the pellet
production plant to its point of use. The non-renewable component of the energy supplied
in the form of pellet is not expected to exceed 15% of the energy available in the wood
pellet in carbon dioxide emission equivalent terms, using oil as the reference fuel.
3. Climate change It may be assumed that the efficiency of the new biomass boiler will be greater than the
aging oil boiler, the use of which it is replacing. Taking this into account, the carbon
dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas emissions of using wood pellet are expected to be less
than 15% of those that are associated with using oil as a fuel.

Local topography No significant increase in elevation within 1km of the site/ weather Information extracted from the Met Ofice website (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/mi/print.html): The Midlands lies at the geographic heart of England. As such, it has a climate that is essentially transitional between northern and southern England in terms of temperature and between Wales and eastern England as regards rainfall. Mean annual temperatures over the region vary from around 8 °C to just over 10 °C. Average annual sunshine durations over the Midlands range from less than 1350 hours in the higher northern and western fringes to about 1500 hours near the southern boundary. These figures compare with values of less than 1100 hours a year in the Shetland Islands to over 1750 hours along the south coast of England and over 1900 hours in the Channel Islands. The tendency for convective cloud to develop over inland areas in summer leads to sunshine averages that are lower than coastal sites.The wettest areas in the Midlands, with an average of over 800 mm per year, are along the Welsh border, in the Cotswolds and, especially, in the Peak District; the highest altitudes exceed 1000 mm. In contrast, the more sheltered areas of the South and East Midlands are the driest with less than 600 mm per year in parts of Northamptonshire, the lower Trent valley and the Avon valley. These values can be compared with annual totals around 500 mm in the drier parts of eastern England and over 4000 mm in the western Scottish Highlands. The Midlands area is one of the more sheltered parts of the UK, the windiest areas being in western and northern Britain, closer to the Atlantic. The strongest winds are associated with the passage of deep areas of low pressure close to or across the UK. The frequency and strength of these depressions is greatest in the winter half of the year, especially from December to February, and this is when mean speeds and gusts (short duration peak values) are strongest.

The Biomass Heating System
The Biomass Heating System
Over 50,000 customers in Europe
An ecological and economical success storyInnovative ideas, intensive research and continuous further
development have made KWB one of Europe's leading providers in
the area of biomass heating systems.
Local energy resources: Wood chipsWood chips combine benefitting the local
economy, cost-effective generation of heat, and
the convenience of an automatic firing system all in
one. All types of natural recovered wood, such as storm-damaged
wood, bark, branches, and waste from carpenters’ shops and
joiner’s workshops, are suitable for the production of wood chips.
Wood chips are primarily produced and sold by local farmers who chip and deliver the wood after a drying
phase of several months. Careful processing and drying enable optimal storage capability and trouble-free
heating operation with small amounts of ash and low emissions.
Fuel of the future: PelletsPellets are manufactured from wood chips without synthetic additives and are constantly
inspected for quality and safety by in-house and external controls. Pellets are environmentally
friendly in production and use, they create new jobs, and when they are burned, the CO2
content of the atmosphere remains constant. In addition, pellets are the ideal fuel for
automatic heating systems due to their high energy content, convenient options for delivery
and storage, etc.

KWB Comfort 3 control system
KWB hopper ➀The hopper with its attractive and stable design is only available from KWB. A light barrier system in the container automatically regulates the fill level. The hopper extends the service life of the fuel extractor and minimises power costs because the conveyor system does not start up as often.
KWB ash-removal system ➁Two ash removal screws automatically transport the ashes from the combustion chamber into the attached ash container with four rollers. The ash is compacted in the ash container - this makes operation even more convenient – this means the ash container only needs to be emptied every 2 to 10 weeks. An ash fill-level monitor prevents ashes from being pushed out of the container and ensures that the boiler room stays clean.
The 2-button control unit with dial and easy-to-understand graphic display is a KWB innovation. A logically structured menu system shows users of KWB heating systems how to adjust all personal parameters for heating circuits, buffer tanks and DHWC, etc. Further advantages include controlling the heating system by means of SMS text messages with the KWB Comfort SMS and visualisation and remote maintenance using the KWB Comfort Visio. The KWB Comfort InterCom is another new addition to the product line; it is an interface for data exchange between the KWB control system and external systems. With the KWB Comfort Solar control system, a solar heating system can also be regulated.

KWB heat exchangers with special turbulators
Learn from successful systems – with this perspective in mind, the well-designed and award-winning control concept of the KWB Powerfire series was also implemented in the KWB Multifire. The lambda control system (wide-band lambda probe), in combination with a negative pressure regulating device, ensures optimal combustion conditions and minimum emissions. This control system is supplemented with the proven underfeed system with fuel quantity sensor in the KWB Multifire. Starting with a boiler capacity of 30 kW the KWB Multifire also includes the KWB MultiFlex burner extension, i.e. the burner plate is equipped with an efficient cleaning mechanism. This makes the KWB Multifire even more reliable when using ash-rich wood fuels that tend to produce clinker. This option ensures minimum maintenance effort by the customer and maximum convenience.
We have been able to enhance the proven automatic heat exchanger cleaning technology through development of new turbulators. These turbulators ensure an optimal exchange of heat due to the improved cleaning effect and a reduction in flow loss. The result is a uniformly high level of efficiency and maximum economy for the customer.

KWB conveyor systems – The optimum customer-specific solutionThe KWB fuel-extractor system with floor-level stirrer (stirrer diameter: 2.5 to 5.5 m) and conveyor screw on a massive, hollow shaft supported by two bearings, is adapted to on-site conditions and tailored to the specific needs of the customer. Fuel storage rooms can be square, rectangular or round, and can be situated above the level of the boiler room, at the same level, or even below the level of the boiler room (please see KWB installation examples starting on page 12).
The fuel extractor is suitable for wood chips to grain size G50 in accordance with ÖNORM M7133 or B1 P16B in accordance with EN14961-1 and for burning wood pellets having diameters 6 mm and 8 mm in accordance with ÖNORM M7135 or DIN Plus and wood pellets of quality class A1 and A2 according to EN14961-1.
KWB heavy-duty gear unit
KWB Conveyor screw
KWB trough withConveyor screw
Reliable, long service life
• Long service life and high-level wear-resistance of the screw thanks to stainless steel spirals in the feed area and a maintenance-free, double-sealed heavy-duty gear unit in trough form.
• No overfilling of the screw trough due to progressively ascending spirals, asymmetric opening, and reverse travel screw.
• The screw is not buoyed upward in the trough due to optimised trough shape.
Convenient and individual
• Efficient emptying of the bunker even with larger stirrer diameters due to uniform contact force of the articulated-blade rotary stirrer over the entire diameter.
• Complete utilisation of storage room space is possible due to different ascending-screw implementations. Customer-specified screw length (lengths of over 12 m on request).
• Low power consumption by preventing mechanical resistance.

Combination, Pellet Stirrer Plus and ascending screw with KWB MultifireUSV DThe Pellet Stirrer Plus consists of the stirrer, the gear unit and a screw. If the boiler room is adjacent to the storage room, then the Pellet Stirrer Plus is combined with an ascending screw. For storage rooms that are above the boiler room, the Pellet Stirrer Plus is also available in a drop hose design. The great advantages of this stirrer are that a slope floor construction is not required and the storage room volume can be ideally utilised. Planning and installation efforts are reduced to a minimum for the tradesman.

Combination suction conveyor with KWB MultifireThe KWB Multifire with suction conveyor (type USV GS) can be combined with a storage room extractor system (pellet conveyor screw and Pellet Stirrer Plus), a fabric tank or with a buried tank. The suction conveyor consists of a storage container (fill volume approximately 120 litres), a suction turbine, and two suction hoses. The system is particularly well-suited for storage rooms that are further removed from the boiler room, as well as for storage rooms adjacent to, above, or below the boiler room. With this variant, pellets are extracted from the storage room via screw or stirrer and transported by vacuum pressure from the vacuum turbine into the storage container via a suction hose. Hose lengths of 25 m are no problem in this regard. The system is absolutely reliable, offers low power consumption, and is extremely quiet in operation thanks to a acoustically insulated hood.

Fuel extractor: Pellet Stirrer Plus with elbow screw or suction conveyor
KWB Biomass heating systems offers yet another confirmation of its competence in the area of conveyor and storage technology with the KWB Pellet Big Bag.The fuel is extracted from the KWB Pellet Big Bag and transported to the heating system with the Pellet Stirrer Plus in combination with the elbow screw (USV D) or suction conveyor (type USV GS). The KWB Pellet Big Bag scores points in particular because of its optimal space utilisation. Standard sizes of 2.2 to 10.5 tons fill content are available for selection; they are made of dust-proof, anti-static fabric that is supported by a galvanised metal frame. Maintaining a specific minimum distance to the heating system, the KWB Pellet Big Bag can be set up in the boiler room (depending on the local fire-safety regulations), in the storage room, or it can be set up outdoors, if protected against weather.

*The capacity depends on: fill technology, pellet characteristics, available space, container size, and height of the injection connector! ** Depending on the locally applicable fire safety regulations, the KWB Pellet Big Bag can be set up directly in the boiler room if a specified minimum distance to the boiler is maintained. If appropriately protected
against weather influences, the fabric tank can be set up outdoors. Local fire safety regulations must be strictly complied with.
The KWB Pellet Big Bag does not require any extraction – the air escapes through the fabric and via a window or vent (at least 400 cm2) in order to escape into the atmosphere.

Headline 41General constructional conditions
Note - general constructional conditionsAlways observe the local statutory planning, construction and execution regulations that apply to you as a KWB system user! You can obtain these regulations, for example, from the architect and from the responsible authorities. Adherence to and verification of the local statutory regulations is a condition for our warranties and for insurance coverage. KWB does not accept any liability, nor does it offer any warranties for any type of constructional measures. Proper execution of constructional measures is the sole responsibility of the system owner. As a biomass heating system user, you may be entitled to receive specific regional subsidies. Inquire promptly about time limits and procedures for handling subsidy applications. Comply with the dimension specifications in the installation examples and technical specifications. Without laying claim to an exhaustive treatment of the issue at hand and without suspension of any conditions imposed by the authorities, based on the Austrian directive TRVB H 118 and ÖKL technical bulletin No. 56 and No. 66, we recommend the configuration described below.
Boiler roomConcrete flooring, plain or tiled; height-adjustable system feet can be used to compensate minor irregularities. All materials for floors, walls, ceilings to be fire resistant F90*¹; boiler room door (see table Boiler dimensions for installing the boiler) to be executed as an automatically closing fire door (T30*²) that opens in the direction of escape, connection door to the fuel storage room to be executed as an automatically closing fire door (T30*²). Boiler room window non-opening G30*³; non-closing intake air opening 5 cm² per kW rated power of the heating system, but not less than 400 cm². For boiler output > 60 kW it is necessary to integrate one ventilation opening near the floor and another ventilation opening near the ceiling; the supply air ducting must be routed directly into the open; if it crosses other rooms, the air duct must feature an F90*¹ envelope; a protective grille with a mesh width < 5 mm must be fitted on the outside of ventilation openings into the open. Permanently installed lighting and electrical supply to the heating system; light and labelled emergency stop switch of the heating system in an easily accessible location outside the boiler room in the vicinity of the boiler room door. A portable fire extinguisher (6 kg filling weight, EN3 standard) must be installed outside the boiler room near the boiler room door. The boiler room as well as water lines and district heating pipes must be frost-resistant. No storage of inflammable materials in the boiler room outside the boiler system, storage container or hopper; no direct connection to rooms where inflammable gases or liquids (garage) are stored. Comply with the installation guidelines.
Fuel storage roomThe constructional on-site requirements for the boiler room also apply to the fuel storage room. The stirrer is installed in the middle of the storage room and is fastened to the concrete floor with anchor bolts. A rear-ventilated false floor/inclined floor should be installed at the same level as the top edge of the fuel extractor. The wall opening (width 50 cm, height 60 cm) for the screw trough between storage room and boiler room should be partitioned in a fireproof way (e. g. with mineral wool). If a pumping car is used to fill the fuel
storage room with wood chips or pellets, it is necessary to mount hose couplings and pipelines (to be earthed). These are available from KWB. If this filling method is chosen, dustproof sealing of the fuel storage room is required. The escaping air is removed through a second earthed pipeline and hose coupling, or it is blown off into the open air after having passed through a filtering section. Suction removal or filtration of the transport air is the responsibility of the fuel supplier. The walls, windows and doors must withstand the overpressure created during the filling process. No electrical installations are permissible in the fuel storage room since they pose a risk of ignition. KWB biomass boilers are supplied with all the necessary fire-protection equipment included. Depending on the local installation situation, type of fuel and amount of storage, a manually triggered fire extinguisher and/or the built-in fire extinguisher may have to be connected to a pressurised water line. The fire extinguisher with manual release featuring a frost-proof connection (from the boiler room) is to be fitted at least ¾“ or as DN 20 directly above the conduit of the fuel-extractor trough leading into the fuel storage room in the form of empty piping. The shut-off device that is to be installed in the boiler room must be marked with the following sign: “Fire extinguisher - fuel storage room”. A fire extinguisher with manual release must be installed in storage systems containing 50 to 200 m³ of wood chips for systems up to and including 400 kW. If such a fuel-storage room is built onto fire-resistant parts without openings, it is not necessary to enclose it with F90*¹ sheathing/execution. In the case of wood chip storage rooms in utility outbuildings with a fire wall facing the living quarters, an F90*¹ design/sheathing of the fuel-storage room is not necessary if the fire section is smaller than 500 m². Fuel must be stored separately from other goods (e. g. by means of wooden planking). A manual-release extinguisher and an integrated extinguishing system must be installed. In the case of storing up to (and including) 200 m³ of other wood materials (with dust) in systems up to and including 400 kW, an integrated extinguisher must be installed in addition to a manual-release extinguisher. For systems greater than 400 kW or stored quantities greater than 200 m³, both (a manual-release extinguisher and an integrated extinguisher) are necessary (see TRVB H 118). Additional statutory safety and acceptance conditions apply to storage rooms and silos that are continuously suction-fed with shavings or sanding dust. If you have any questions, please contact your KWB factory representative. Above-ground fuel stores must be accessible to the outside by means of a door with at least 1.80 m cross-section, and must be planked to prevent the fuel from pouring out should the door be opened by mistake. The planking should be removable from the outside. An inspection opening (F90*¹) must be installed above the fuel extractor trough. Please refer to the installation examples.
ChimneyDue to the high boiler efficiency, the chimney design should be resistant to moisture. A moisture-resistant chimney design means that there will be no moisture penetration or damage to the brickwork although the temperature level in the flue-gas path is permanently below the flue-gas dew point (see DIN 18160)! The approximate values for the chimney diameter are stated in the specifications. They are valid for the applicable system size, given average constructional conditions, i.e.: Effective chimney height 8 – 10 m, 1.5 m smoke pipe length, 2 segment bends at 90° each, 1 contraction, 1 T-connection with 90°. Comply with the specifications in the cross-section diagrams provided by the
*¹ F90 in accordance with ÖNORM B 3800, REI90 in accordance with ÖNORM EN 13501*² T30 in accordance with ÖNORM B 3800, EI2 30-C in accordance with ÖNORM EN 13501*³ G30 in accordance with ÖNORM B 3800, E30 in accordance with ÖNORM EN 13501

chimney manufacturer. If conditions differ or are less favourable in terms of space, it is necessary to carry out a chimney calculation according to EN 13384. A data entry sheet as an electronic form is available from KWB. Upon request, KWB will provide the chimney calculation based on the information provided on the form. This is a chargeable service. The local expert for these issues is your responsible chimney sweep. It is advisable to involve your chimney sweep during the planning phase as it is he who will have to issue the acceptance certificate for the flue gas system.
Installing the heating systemSetting up the heating systemTo be performed exclusively by qualified, trained personnel of KWB or KWB associates. The heating system is assembled and installed ready to plug in, site conditions permitting, otherwise it is dismantled before installation and then assembled ready to plug in, in the boiler room. Licensed heating and electrical fitters must connect the heating system to the chimney, water and electrical system; this must be verified for numerous reasons, e. g. in order to be eligible for subsidies.
Smoke pipe connection on the chimneyIf not required by local regulations, we nonetheless recommend that a draft limiter and a detonation damper be built into the smoke pipe or chimney flank and arranged in such a manner as to exclude any danger of injury. Keep the smoke pipe as short as possible. The smoke pipe must be insulated and connected, and should at least ascend slightly towards the chimney, preferably with an inclination of less than 45°. The smoke pipe should be thermally insulated and feature suitable, easily accessible cleaning openings. The chimney connection should be 20 mm larger than the smoke pipe diameter. In this way, it is possible to integrate a suitable acoustic transmission decoupler between the smoke pipe and the chimney. The KWB system is equipped with a negative-pressure controlled induced-draught fan as standard.
Water connectionWhen using wood chips, the return-flow inlet temperature into the boiler must be at least 55 °C, when using pellets at least 50 °C, otherwise there is an increased risk of corrosion, which also has the effect of voiding the warranty. To increase the temperature of the return flow, the boiler control unit can drive a mixing controller
or a mixing pump. For systems to 60 kW the return flow boost can also be executed via a thermal control valve. Suitable fittings to increase the return flow temperature are available from KWB. With the exception of cases where the return flow temperature is maintained by a mixing pump, the heating system must feature a pressureless distribution system (switch, distributor, load-balancing tank, buffer, thermal regulator, etc.) and a safety group that complies with the relevant regulations (e. g. according to ÖNORM EN 12828 or, EN 303). A load-balancing tank or buffer tank is not required, but it is useful in some cases, for instance if a solar system or a unit load boiler is included or if there is a need to achieve a very low permanent heating output during the summer months. Consult your heating engineer for specific details! Components of acoustically-insulated water connections must be impermeable to oxygen, otherwise there is an increased risk of corrosion, which also has the effect of voiding the warranty. If plastic pipes for floor heating systems or district heating pipes are connected, it is necessary to integrate a limiting thermostat for the boiler circuit pumps to provide additional protection against excessive temperatures. With respect to the condition of the boiler water, VDI 2035 and ÖNORM H 5195 T1 and T2 must be unconditionally adhered to, otherwise there is a risk of corrosion, which may void the warranty.
Electrical connections of the KWB Multifire systemThe entire system-internal wiring is executed in the factory or is executed plug-ready by installation personnel. On site, only a licensed electrical installation company should execute the mains connection and the boiler-external cabling, and in the case of a network, the bus cabling of the heating circuit expansion modules and for the digital room control units.
