White Pine County, NV Public School System Biomass Conversion Heating Project.

DE2006861531

Publication Date	2006
Page Count	10
Abstract	The White Pine County School District and the Nevada Division of Forestry agreed to develop a pilot project for Nevada using wood chips to heat the David E. Norman Elementary School in Ely, Nevada. Consideration of the project was triggered by a Fuels for Schools grant that was brought to the attention of the School District. The biomass project, that was part of a district-wide energy retrofit, called for the installation of a biomass heating system to be used as the primary heating system for the school while the current fuel oil system remained as back-up. This project was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy as the result of Congressional direction. The system proposed consisted of a biomass steam boiler, storage facility, and an area for unloading and handling equipment necessary to deliver and load fuel. This was the first project of its kind in Nevada. The scope of work for this project was limited to design, purchase, and construction of the system and did not include scope or budget related to the acquisition of fuel, source(s) of the fuel, or the operation of the equipment.
