Wood Gasifaction Boilers

The Firebird Bio-Tec wood gasification boiler represents the very latest in high-efficiency wood burning. Built to Firebird exacting standards the Bio-Tec can deliver central heating and hot water to domestic homes or small commercial premises with the minimum of effort and cleaning. 

Gasification is achieved in wood burning when gases released from the combusting wood are mixed with a regulated supply of oxygen to create a complete oxidation process.

This results in extremely high combustion efficencies and minimal of ash waste.


What fuels can I burn?
Only wood or wood briquettes with a maximum humidity of 20% can be burnt in the Bio-Tec boiler. And the lower the humidity the better the combustion efficiency.

Easy to load
The large combustion chamber and access door means that logs up to 500 mm in length can be used on standard domestic boilers. Log sizes of up to 700mm and 930mm can be used on higher capacity models.

Simple to start
All you’ll need to start the Bio-Tec is a fire lighter and some light sticks. The Bio-Tec controller manages the rest of the start-up procedure making sure that the fire builds up as quickly and efficiently as possible. 

Minimum of cleaning
In wood gasification most of the wood is combusted so that very little ash remains in the combustion chamber or flue. If the boiler ran at full power continuously it would only need to be cleaned every three to four days. In most cases the boiler will only be fired-up every few days so that cleaning will only be required every few weeks
