The job
A greenhouse range this size needs a lot of heat, all winter, every night. Vanderveens used to heat it with natural gas.
Now four SCW boilers burn wood chips side by side, out of one boiler building.
The greenhouse range on a cold December morning.
One boiler building, four stacks.
One boiler building
All four boilers sit in one building at the edge of the greenhouse range, each with its own stack.
Wood chips replaced natural gas for the whole range.
“Four boilers, one building, and our heating bill is about half what gas cost us.”

The result
Heating cost is about 50% lower than it was on natural gas.
