RHI payments on Solar Drying

I used this as my guide for adopting a high temperature kiln

That's a nice brief paper, I hadn't seen it and it pre dates our offering by 10 years.

 

The thing is once you invest vast sums in the structure you must have a high throughput and the limiting factor is getting the water to move out of the wood rather than passing enough dry air over the surface.

 

Otherwise 20 days in the summer will do the job with no artificial heat input but that's no good if you have no dry wood now.

Thats the thing with solar rhi the initial cost is affordable and you have a guaranteed income for 20 years which is only dependent on the amount of sunshine not on the volume of kiln dried timber produced.

As for dry timber in the winter I have changed my processing so that processor size timber is cut and split during the summer and put in the solar kilns for winter sales. The over processor size just split during the summer into billets and put into the solar kilns ready for processing in winter when the split logs run out.

How much can you fit in it your whole supply for the season.

Total internal IBC capacity is 1724 made up of 24 in solar container 200 in solar kilns and 1500 in agri building. Further 400 pre drying external storage under pointed lids.

Could you PM any contacts you have for IBC's? Can send an arctic up for 52. Thanks

With bottle if non toxic use

Plastic or metal

Sides don't mind - mesh is nice

tap or no tap

 

Thanks

How much do you want to pay with and without bottle.

 

Mesh is like hens teeth although I do have a standing order for any that turn up.

10-12 with non-toxic use bottle. Can take 52 every 6 weeks. Thanks

How are you going to get 52 on an artic?
