Viessmann Biomass

June 15, 2009

In light of rising oil costs and the certainty of peak oil production, Vital Energy has been researching pellet and chip boiler systems for over 2 years. Our northern forest is a resource for reducing our dependence on foreign energy sources and for limiting our contributions to greenhouse gases and global climate change.

Therefore, we are pleased to announce that Vital Technologies Vital Energy Division has been appointed to represent Viessmann Biomass wood pellet and chip boilers in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. Developed over decades by Kob of Austria (today part of the Viessmann Group), these boilers are widely acknowledged as the state of the art for burning pellets and chips. Their reliable, proven, sophisticated approach to combustion results in high efficiency with the lowest possible emissions. Designed for hot water heating systems, these commercial boilers are available in North America in two ranges with capacities spanning 500,000 btuh to 4.2 million btuh. All Viessmann Biomass boilers are CSA certified for safety. The boiler vessels are rated in accordance with North American codes and bear the ASME "H" stamp.

Viessmann Biomass boilers are custom built to suit our customers needs, including complete controls, thermal storage, fuel handling and safety systems. Your wood boiler will perform as designed based on approved factory supplied cad drawings of the complete system. Remote visualization and building management system options are available to permit offsite monitoring and calibration of system parameters. These boilers can operate efficiently at approximately 1/4 of their rated capacity. Thermal storage extends this flexibility to provide efficient wood heat well into the shoulder seasons.
