Press Release: 25 April 03

BULKAN TIMBER WORKS, Guyana install

British Made Talbott CM3 System as part of their eco-friendly, natural re-generation policy.

BULKAN TIMBER WORKS, Guyana supply a stock range of mouldings and profiles as well as custom machined parts for assembly in building sites and furniture factories in a number of countries from the Caribbean and North America. Their typical product lines are architectural and construction mouldings.

Guyana's National Forestry Policy regulates management of pristine forests to maximise natural regeneration while selectively harvesting a sustainable yield of beautiful and durable hardwoods. Tropical hardwoods provide builders and furniture makers with people-friendly materials made by natural processes, using only a fraction of the non-renewable energy needed to produce steel, aluminium, concrete and plastics.

Bulkan Timber Works are leading the field, adding value to Guyana's sustainable forestry by kiln drying and machining building and furniture components from selected lumber produced in managed forests.

Careful kiln drying of their timber, with heat provided by a British Made Talbott CM3 150kW wood waste fired boiler system, adds to the eco-friendly, natural re-generation policy they have in place.

The Talbott CM3 is a hand fed system so offers a cost effective, easy to transport and simply to install solution to a developing market. This enabling such companies to be at the cutting edge of renewable energy technology, ensuring viable rates of regeneration whilst contributing to economic development.

Talbotts has a similar installation in Belize where the company makes low cost hurricane proof housing and uses the wood waste produced for the kiln drying of their pine. The unit they have there is a Talbott CM4 300kW Hand Fed unit.

Talbott’s Heating Ltd, Stafford, UK offer a range of British made biomass / wood-fired combustors which have been designed to form the key component in renewable energy schemes, sustainable management programmes and remote thermal energy supplies.

A modern biomass / wood chip combuster will not add to the carbon dioxide levels, will produce no soot, and the ash which is less than about 1%, is a valuable source of fertiliser for growing plants.
