Wood Pellet Boiler Reduces Oil Usage by 85% at Mascoma Reg. HS

Mascoma High School was burning 22,600 gallons of fuel oil per year in their huge old boilers which had a gross output of over 2 million BTUs per hour. It was high time to replace them with 3 Fröling P4-100 pellet boilers with a total output of just over 1 million BTUs per hour.

Their new fuel consumption is about 108 tons of premium wood pellets and 3400 gallons of oil (in a new Buderus boiler). The exterior silo can hold 28 tons of pellets.
