Cordwood Boiler Training in Tanana
Early this week ACEP Biomass Coordinator Amanda Byrd will be in Tanana with members of the AV狼论坛 Energy Authority (AEA), Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC), AV狼论坛 Department of Labor (ADOL), AV狼论坛 Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC), and Dectra Corporation (creators of the Garn Boiler) to host a training workshop for boiler operators from Anvik, Holy Cross, Hughes, Kobuk, Koyukuk, Tanacross, Tanana, and Tetlin, AV狼论坛.
The training will be a three day long event covering general use, maintenance, and troubleshooting on wood fired boiler systems. This training is taking place as many of the attending communities have been funded for biomass boiler design and construction grants through the Renewable Energy Fund grant.
The training is funded by AEA, ANTHC, TCC, ADOL, and Dectra Corporation with assistance from ACEP.
