Dr. Jack Calareso president of Anna Maria College sign a agreement with the American College & University President Climate Commitment to move forward for Climate Neutrality and Sustainability.
We look at a few idea's one was purchasing a new oil/propane boiler that had a better efficiency rating or go with a biomass system. We decided to look into a biomass boiler system. We called a couple of companies that install biomass systems so we could start to educate our self on how these systems work.educate our self on how these systems work.
We were also concern about the effect on the environment. We then visited a sight that has a bi h k i f ibiomass system to check it out from operation to maintenance as well as COST.
Project CostProject CostThe total project cost was $832,000.00This included removal of the old boiler and connecting it to the management system.
Year one savings: $174,125 (projected)
Payback < 5 years

• Cost for one gallon of #2 fuel oil December 2012 was
Wood Pellets• How many ton would equal
105,000 gallons of # 2 fuel oil.
$3.25.
• The oil boiler consumed 105 000 gallons of #2 fuel
• By taken 105,000 and divided by 120 equal tonage.
• 120/105 000 = 875 tons105,000 gallons of #2 fuel oil each heating season.
• Total expense $341,250.00
120/105,000 875 tons
• Cost per ton $191.00 per 30 ton delivery.p
• Cost for pellets 875 tons X $191.00 = $167,125.00
Environmental EffectsEnvironmental EffectsWe had the stack test per DEP regulation and the system with aregulation and the system with a cyclone exhaust we had 0.1 part per million total particulate going i t th iinto the air.
We are not releasing 1120 tons per of carbon dioxide from #2 oil use
These are all good reasons but theThese are all good reasons but the one I like the most was the sustainable forestry that makes up the wood pellet fuelthe wood pellet fuel.
