Biomass CHP Systems Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited designs biomass combined heat and power using the Atmos wood and pellet fuelled boiler range, integrated with heat recovery, cooling and controls through combination fuelled plantrooms.
Biomass CHP Systems Belfast reflects BSH Limited's combined heat and power capability built on biomass fuel. BSH represents boiler manufacturer Atmos across the UK, Ireland, and the East Coast of the United States, and the Atmos range extends from wood fuelled to pellet fuelled, hybrid or conventional boilers — giving the equipment basis for a biomass-fuelled heating and power system.
Biomass CHP uses a wood or pellet fuelled boiler as the heat source for on-site generation, capturing the heat produced for heating, hot water or process loads while generating electricity. Because BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power and control systems, the biomass CHP is integrated with the building's services rather than running as a standalone biomass boiler.
All Atmos boilers comply with latest EU legislations for energy efficiency and emissions, and BSH can supply products for self-assembly on-site and skid or kit versions for assembly (plug and play). That equipment basis is what makes a biomass CHP system a genuine option rather than a concept.
Atmos biomass boilers as the heat source
BSH represents Atmos across the UK, Ireland and the East Coast of the United States. The Atmos range extends from wood fuelled to pellet fuelled, hybrid or conventional boilers, and all comply with latest EU legislations for energy efficiency and emissions. That range gives the heat source for a biomass CHP system — a fuelled boiler that can also be hybrid or conventional, so the biomass CHP can sit within a multi-fuel plantroom.
On-site generation from biomass heat
Biomass CHP uses the biomass boiler as the heat source for on-site generation, capturing the heat produced for heating, hot water or process loads while generating electricity. Because the heat and the power come from the same fuel, both are used rather than the heat being wasted — the combined heat and power principle applied to a biomass fuel source. BSH's consultancy specialisms include fuel cell, co- and trigeneration systems, reflecting the depth behind that integrated approach.
Integrated with cooling and controls
Where a building has a simultaneous cooling demand, the recovered heat from the biomass CHP can drive absorption chilling, extending the installation to trigeneration — combined cooling, heat and power from one fuel source. The range is supported by SFL flue systems and Copper Industries thermal storage, so the biomass CHP is integrated with the building's heating, cooling, controls and thermal storage rather than running as a standalone biomass boiler.

Problem · Reaction · Solution
How BSH can help
Problem
A biomass boiler installed for heat alone wastes the opportunity to generate electricity from the same fuel, while a biomass CHP specified without reference to the building's heat load — or without a use for the recovered heat — runs part-loaded or vents the heat it captures, so the efficiency the installation was meant to deliver never appears. Where the biomass boiler is procured separately from the generation and cooling, the integration that makes a biomass CHP system work is lost.
Reaction
Unintegrated biomass plant misses the on-site generation opportunity, wastes recovered heat, and can leave a building with a biomass boiler that runs inefficiently because it was sized for heat output alone. Consultants and facilities managers need an engineering partner who designs the biomass CHP as a combination fuelled system, using the recovered heat and integrating the cooling.
Solution
BSH designs biomass CHP systems using the Atmos wood and pellet fuelled boiler range, integrated with heat recovery, cooling and controls through combination fuelled plantrooms. Because the right biomass CHP depends on your fuel supply and loads, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your biomass CHP systems project.
