HEATING USING HORSEPOWER - SWEBO Bioenergy AB

HEATING USING HORSEPOWER
BIOLOGICAL & ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ENERGY

MAJOR ECONOMIC SAVINGS!
Fact: horses are expensive. Feed, vet's fees, training and, of course,
premises for stables and riding schools all cost money.
Now it's time for horses to muck in and give something back, so to speak...
You can now burn straw bedding material and manure directly to gain many
precious kilowatt-hours.
The SWEBO BioTherm is a new innovation that is about to revolutionise the
entire horse industry by saving not only money, but also the environment.
Factors such as disposal costs, heating costs and management of environmentally
hazardous waste will soon be but a memory.
Manure management costs around 7,100 Swedish kronor (SEK) per year for
an average horse. Multiply this by 40 and you have the annual costs for an
average-sized riding school or trotting track.
With the SWEBO BioTherm, the above example would produce savings of
284,000 SEK. Add to this the savings on existing heating a SWEBO BioTherm
can give you, which are also credited to your account. The result is major savings
per year and a very short repayment period on investments.

Did you know that manure management for one horse costs around
7,100 SEK per year?

Did you know that a horse produces 4 kW of clean
power?

LOOK AFTER YOUR ENERGY RESOURCES!
Did you know that there is an energy producer standing in your stable
unused?
An average-sized horse produces manure which provides a continuous power
output of 4 kW when burnt as fuel. This energy source is often discarded
on the manure pile.
We believe this to be a serious waste of energy and resources.
An average horse establishment has around 40 horses, representing 160 kW
of clean power. This can be used to heat premises, stables, farm buildings and
residences with a total area of approximately 2,500 square metres. If you have
surplus energy, you can lay heating pipes out in the paddocks or around the
training tracks... After all, the heat is free!
With the SWEBO BioTherm, you can make use of the energy resources that
would normally end up on the manure pile and which are also expensive to
have removed!

EXTRAORDINARY BIOENERGY
The SWEBO BioTherm: the most extreme bioenergy solution on the
market with immediate benefits.
The current global trend is a realisation that we must look after our resources.
New, innovative energy solutions must not put pressure on the already highly-stressed
environment.
Bioenergy solutions have always been considered one of the most environmentally
friendly energy alternatives because they do not increase carbon
dioxide emissions. That is a fact.
The SWEBO BioTherm takes bioenergy a step further. All by-products, such as
straw bedding and manure, can be burnt to produce clean energy. Emissions
are far below the limit values, and the ash left over can be used as an excellent
fertiliser for the forestry industry.
With the SWEBO BioTherm, you not only save a lot of money – you also help
to save the environment!

Did you know that a horse produces around
22 m 3 of manure per year?

Did you know that you can become energy
self-sufficient?

LET'S TALK ABOUT ECONOMY...
The SWEBO BioTherm is not designed solely for burning horse manure;
it can be easily adapted to burn other fuels such as chips, sod peat, briquettes,
pellets and grain, among others.
What makes the BioTherm even more interesting is that it can be adapted
to burn other biological waste, for example animal slaughter products. The
SWEBO BioTherm is not designed solely for horse owners. It is also ideal for
slaughterhouse owners, animal breeders and those working in the forestry
industry.
The SWEBO BioTherm's adaptability to a wide variety of extreme fuels makes
it easy for users to become energy self-sufficient.
We believe that the SWEBO BioTherm is one of the most versatile and environmentally
friendly energy burners on the market.
The SWEBO BioTherm is available in versions from 80 kW to 1000 kW. We can
supply them to either fixed boiler rooms or as turnkey prefabricated heating
plants.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
• The SWEBO BioTherm is available in versions from 80 kW to 1000 kW.
• The burner is available in both single and double design versions.
• The SWEBO BioTherm double version is adapted for scalable operation.
• Examples of compatible fuels:
- Horse manure (moisture content up to 50%)
- Moist wood chips (moisture content up to 61%)
- Waste pellets
- Traditional pellets
- Harvesting residue
- Offal, etc.
• Extremely low emissions.
• Combustion temperature in the combustion chamber approx. 850 degrees
• Combustion temperature in the secondary pipes/SCC approx. 1,100 degrees

Secondary pipes/SCC
Secondary air is preheated to 400 degrees to
achieve maximum capacity.
Combustion chamber
The SWEBO BioTherm is available in single or
double module versions. Its flexible design allows
one of the modules to be serviced without
the need to shut down the system.
Ash removal
The SWEBO BioTherm uses a feed screw to transport
residues out of the burner and into a storage chamber,
usually located outside the installation for easy
emptying.

Bioenergy boiler
The SWEBO BioTherm is designed to operate
with most existing bioenergy boilers.
Ash feed screw
The ash feed screw is dimensioned for
industrial use to ensure long-lasting, safe
operation.

SWEDISH KR/YEAR (*)
The example above is based on the Timrå Riding Arena, which
installed a SWEBO BioTherm and saw a drop in its annual
consumption from 454,198 kWh to 289,877 kWh over 1 year.
(*) This figure includes savings on disposal (approx. 300 Swedish kr/
tonne) and transport costs.
