The Hotchkiss School, a private (and very wealthy) prep school in the next town over has just put their new biomass boiler plant on-line. They have two Messersmith steam boilers making steam for all the buildings on campus with low-pressure steam. The estimate an annual fuel consumption of 5400 tons of wood chips! Thought you guys would get a kick out of it. If you're nearby, they offer tours of the plant. I need to get over there and check it out one of these days.
