A 2.9MW steam-raising woodchip boiler was installed at Pilgrims Hospital in Lincolnshire. Firing on woodchip, which is stored in newly constructed storage sheds, the boiler meets the heating and hot water requirements of the main hospital building. Working on a sub-contract agreement, ESP undertook design work associated with the steam and condensate installation, as well providing consultancy support on boiler specification.
