Institutional - Campbellton Regional Hospital (Campbellton, NB)

Campbellton Regional Hospital was constructed during the mid 1980's. The provincial government was keen on reducing operational costs as well as promoting the use of biomass energy, which prompted their decision to install a KMW bioenergy system at the hospital.

The high-pressure steam boiler was installed in 1987 with a heat capacity of 10 million Btu/hr (3 MWt). and oil fired boilers were installed to assist during peak demand. The biomass system consumes approximately 40 wet tons of wood residues per day that the hospital purchases from a nearby sawmill. The control system was upgraded in 2000 to increase boiler efficiency and further reduce operating costs.

The steam demand remains constant throughout the year, which provides an excellent return on their investment. A large number of institutions including hospitals and schools have successfully incorporated KMW Bioeneregy Systems into their existing steam plants.
