Its a nice looking system, I have been thinking about a bio boiler for a while, however for me the big attraction is the RHI payments, it makes no sense without. Why not sell the units and make your money that way?

 

LogPro makes sense for the firewood producer without the RHI payments in that is solves very real problems without cash outlay (kiln dry to order for less than £10 a ton in days).

 

On the basis we are currently offering LogPro the RHI is how we make our money (after about three years). I want to be absolutely transparent on the LogPro. It has cost us £250K to develop this and get accreditation. Each unit costs us £50K and we get the RHI income from it's use. If someone has the cash to run the risk of developing their own kiln then, if it works, in the long term , they would be better off doing just that and claiming the RHI themselves.

 

For those that cannot do this then LogPro is a great solution.

In the next four weeks probably not. Thereafter yes.

very interesting ,

I see it is like the much maligned "rent a roof schemes" for solar panels then?

Seems a bit silly burning wood when you can still get the RHI on a solar kiln. Especially with wood supplies becoming scarce.

Sunderland is further north than Cumbria though?

A solar kiln wont dry 14 tons of wood in under 3 days and there are few other uses for waste wood and so as a fuel for the kiln it makes perfect sense

Not at all. It is totally different . The Logpro solves a number of real problems that firewood producers have ( cash and space tied up in stock, inability to react quickly to changes in demand etc). The firewood processor receives no income and there is no cost to them in us providing the kiln.

Sorry but all my waste wood I sell for £100 m3. As for 14 tons in under 3 days what is the point in that if your only splitting 7 tonne in 3 days. I worked out a steady manageable production of an IBC container (1.2 m3) per hour therefore 40 IBC containers per week which will fit into one shipping container to give a weekly batch cycle. Simples.
