The Bio-Burner is a multi-fuel, multi-day biomass heating system. It is a hydronic, non-pressurized boiler that can be attached to any existing heating system. The Bio-Burner is also non-catalytic the burn takes place in a single burn chamber. The Bio-Burner has a unique computer controlled combustion process which results in a highly efficient and clean burn. The Bio-Burner has also passed all UL & CSA safety standards required for indoor & outdoor use. Typical biomass fuels used in this system include: - Wood chips - Sawdust - Pellets - Animal bedding - Grains - Grasses - Other crops & more.

1 - Biomass Fuel Input

Functionality

The process begins by filling the fuel bin for The Bio-Burner with approved biomass fuel. The computer controls on The Bio-Burner automatically meter fuel into the combustion chamber when there is a call for heat.

2 - Combustion Process
Once biomass fuel is metered into the combustion chamber, the ignition cycle begins with either natural gas or propane. The typical cold ignition cycle is between 5 and 10 minutes. Once the combustion chamber reaches a stable temperature, the gas shuts off and the unit maintains heat output on biomass. The combustion process for The Bio-Burner is closely managed by its sophisticated yet simple computer controls. With constant control over the precise fuel & air ratios & fuel agitation, The Bio-Burner is capable of achieving a complete burn in a single burn chamber with little to no smoke & emissions from start up to shut down. Because of the low levels of smoke & emissions, The Bio-Burner will never accumulate creosote.

3 - Heat Output
Hot air exits the combustion chamber making its way to the decoupled water heat exchanger. The hot water heat exchanger has 10 heat exchange tubes which allow air to flow through the exhanger an out through the exhaust. Inside of each of the heat exchanger tubes are turbulators which assist in extremely efficient heat transfer. The turbulators also act as cleaners for the heat exchanger tubes. The Bio-Burner allows for tooless entry to the top of each of the turbulators for easy access & cleaning of the heat exchanger. Once heat has been transfered to create water, the hot water is then delivered to provide heat to any number of heating applications. Hot water can be used in radiant and forced air heating applications as well as to heat domestic hot water.

4 - Clean & Green

The emissions from The Bio-Burner are extremely clean. Due to the precise fuel and air ratio controls, highly efficient combustion process, highly efficient heat exchange & the fly ash collection system, The Bio-Burner is as green as it gets. You will never see creosote build up & will never see a single spark escape through the exhaust of The Bio-Burner.

5 - Easy Maintenance
Ash Removal Every model of The Bio-Burner comes equipped with automatic combustion chamber ash removal. Ash removal for The Bio-Burner is as simple as checking to see if your bucket is full. grease points All grease points are easily accessable and accept standard inexpensive low temp grease. HX Tube Cleaning Each heat exchanger tubes is equipped with a turbulator/cleaner. The BioBurner is designed to allow toolless entry for cleaning each tube by simply spinning all 10 turbulators with a cordless drill or wrench. Any ash build up then falls into the ash removal pan at the base of the unit for easy removal.

1 - Multiple Biomass Fuel Capabilities

The Bio-Burner is capable of burning multiple biomass fuel types such as: - Wood chips - Sawdust - Pellets - Animal bedding - Grains & more. The Bio-Burner is designed to utilize inexpensive & locally available fuels. Cheap heat is the key ingredient for the sucess of The Bio-Burner. To effectively lower heating costs, unprocessed & readily available biomass fuels should be used.

Flexibility

2 - Multiple Heating Applications

The Bio-Burner can be used in a variety of heating applications such as:

- Structural heating - Domestic hot water - Dr ying applications

- Green houses - Poultr y farms - Equine applications

1 - Fuel Handeling

Automation
Each of the fuel bin options for The Bio-Burner are completely automated. Once fuel has been loaded into the fuel storage bin, it is then automatically metered into The Bio-Burners combustion chamber as the unit calls for heat. The fuel is auger fed from the floor of the fuel storage bin to the fuel input tube at the upper portion of the combustion chamber. The fuel is then gravity fed and falls to the combustion chamber floor to begin the combustion process assisted by injected air & agitation. No physical adjustments are required when changing fuel types. The Bio-Burner is able to achieve multiple days or even weeks of run time between bin refills.

2 - Computer Controls
Simple yet sophisticated computer controls are the brains behind The Bio-Burner. The computer controls monitor temperatures at 3 different points thru-out the unit: Combustion Chamber - Water Heat Exchanger - Flu Exhaust Other automated features include:

- Fuel Input Speed - Air Injection Speed

- Fuel Ignition & Re -Lite - Gas Backup Heat

Combined, these automated features result in clean, efficient & consistant heat output.

For more information on features such as remote control access, see the product owners manual.

3 - Ash Removal
Every one of The Bio-Burner models are equipped with automatic combustion chamber ash removal. Removing combustion chamber ash from The Bio-Burner is as simple as periodically emptying the ash container. All other ash removal ports & cleanouts enable the user to completely clean out the unit through easy access points with minimal effort.

The Bio-Burner has been approved with CSA & UL safety standards for indoor & outdoor use. There are a combination of computer controlled & mechanical safety features included with all of The Bio-Burner models. For a detailed list of saftey features, see The Bio-Burner owners manual.

Option 1 - Fuel Bin Size and Configuration

The Bio-Burner has 2 fuel bin options. The Standard 2 Yard Bin or the Bulk Bin Kit for up to 22 yards of storage capacity. 2yd standard bin bulk bin kit

Product Options

The 2 Cubic Yard Standard Bin is the smallest fuel bin option for The Bio-Burner. It is weatherproof and safe for use indoors & outdoors. The Bio-Burners computer controls automatically meter fuel from the bin into the boilers combustion chamber as needed. No physical adjustments are needed when switching between approved fuel types. This fuel bin option is available for any of The Bio-Burner models.

The Bulk Bin Kit for The Bio-Burner is configurable up to 22 cubic yards of fuel. The storage bin is available in 2 different configurations: 7ft diameter or 9ft diameter and up to 8ft in height. The Bio-Burners computer controls automatically meter fuel from the bin into the boilers combustion chamber as needed. No physical adjustments are needed when switching between approved fuel types. This fuel bin option is available for any of The Bio-Burner models. *NOTE: The floor & side walls are priced separately

Option 2 - Gas Backup :: Natural Gas or Propane (LP)

The Bio-Burner uses gas for ignition with the added bonus of gas backup heat. Natural Gas If natural gas is available, it is typicaly the leist expensive gas backup option. Propane (LP) Propane, in most cases, is more expensive than natural gas. However, it does have its benefits. Portable tanks can be used with no need for trenching or running hard lines. Model BB-100 The Bio-Burner model BB-100 is capable of burning multiple types of biomass. Due to this ability it is not EPA Phase II approved. The BB-100s design is the same as that of the EPA Phase II model (MBB-100) with the exception of the EPA Phase II Hang Tag.

Option 3 - EPA Phase II Hang Tag

Model MBB-100 The Bio-Burner model MBB-100 is EPA Phase II approved for burning wood pellets only. To maintain the EPA Phase II rating, no other biomass fuels should be used in this model.
