Salling Efterskole

Salling Boarding School, known for its commitment to education and community values, is, with the investment in the new straw boiler system, a living example of responsible and sustainable environmental management from the school leadership.

The installation of Linka Energy’s new straw boiler system, replacing the traditional energy source of natural gas in the school, now heats the school’s buildings and provides hot water for both students and staff.

The brand-new biomass plant, a 400 kW LINKA H 400 model with a hot water boiler featuring a movable step grate and equipped with Linka’s patented combustion technology, ensures maximum utilization of the fuel.

The straw boiler system was established in 2023.

The straw is delivered on an 18-meter-long straw conveyor and transported to a Linka® string remover, type 070, where the reeling drum pulls the straw upwards. Subsequently, Linka’s straw suction system transports the straw to our cell lock, where the straw is fed into the straw conveyor and then into the boiler.

A multi-cyclone and bag filter ensure the purification of the flue gas before being released through the new 12-meter-high steel chimney. The ash system ensures, via ash conveyors and screws, that the ash is deposited in an ash container of approximately 2.4m³.

The control of the system is managed through a PLC control system that monitors the system and sends alarms via the internet and SMS. It will also be possible to monitor the system via smartphones, tablets, and/or PCs.
