As the principal by-product from incineration is heat, which in most cases just flows harmlessly out of the chimney and into the air.  However hot air has many valuable uses when properly managed. The Addfield Farm-50 is an innovative approach to helping you to convert ‘Waste ‘ to ‘Energy’ which in turn saves you money.  In brief, the Farm-50 enables you to produce clean and more importantly free energy as a direct result of processing your dead/fallen stock.

The Farm 50 is a compact unit that fits onto an A30 incinerator (other models are also connectable).  The energy is created externally to the incinerator by a heat exchanger to ensure a fully safe and green energy source.  The heat exchanger draws it’s heat externally from around the flue/stack drawing the heat into an accumulator which connects to a traditional heating system that can then be used to produce a steady flow of hot water or hot air. This can then be utilised in the heating of external buildings, barns, sheds, farms and other spaces.

The Farm 50 is primarily designed for use within the poultry industry however other variants are available for other forms of waste.  With the benefits for the poultry industry beyond being able to generate up to 4000 litres of hot water an hour just from processing fallen stock.  Being able to manage your own fallen stock has multiple benefits from the pure financial element where external waste collection agencies are no longer charging weekly for collections, the unit can quickly pay for itself.  More essential is the increased biosecurity and reduction in risk of Avian Flu and other outbreaks.  Being able to quickly manage any waste as well as restrict the number of visitors on site massively reduces the chance of cross-contamination from visitors which has been found to be a high risk during Bird Flu outbreaks.

With more than 30 years experience producing some of the strongest machines available Addfield prides itself on consistently being at the forefront of Thermal Treatment and believe it will only be a matter of time before more farmers realise the potential returns available from managing their own waste.

With no additional permits required and farmers across the UK able to access RHI ( Renewable Heat Incentive) grant funding as well as the potential for additional income from a tariff payback from the Farm Energy Centre based in Stoneleigh.  Add that into the standard 40% reduction in operating costs down to the advanced thermally efficient construction of all of the Addfield Incineration range and you should think about how much you could be losing by not managing your waste more effectively.

Is it time to ask yourself why not, to a safer farm, smaller carbon footprint and lower costs.  To find out more about the opportunities available to you from ‘Waste to Energy’ call James Grant on +44 (0)1543 571 280

recovery from waste is the conversion of non-recyclable waste materials into usable heat, electricity, through a variety of processes, including combustion, gasification, pyrolization, and Incineration ATTS (Advanced Thermal Solution. This process is often called (WtE) waste to energy or (WfW) wealth from Waste.

Energy Recovery from Combustion

Confined and controlled burning, known as combustion, can not only decrease the volume of solid waste destined for landfills but can also recover energy from the waste burning process. This generates a renewable energy source and reduces carbon emissions by offsetting the need for energy from fossil sources and reduces methane generation from landfills.

The heat released from burning is then converted to Hot Water, Hot Air and in some cases steam, which is then sent to a turbine generator to produce electricity.

As the gas stream travels through these filters, more than 99 percent of particulate matter is removed. Captured fly ash particles fall into hoppers (funnel-shaped receptacles) and are transported by an enclosed conveyor system to the ash discharger.

At addfield, our ATTS (Advanced Thermal Treatment Solutions) and CHP (Combined Heat and Power) energy recovery systems are at the forefront of the modern technological breakthrough. Generating 1 Megawatt of electricity per hour (dependant on engine size)

Addfield has a continual re-investment policy into research and development when offering innovative solutions for both waste and power. Our waste to energy systems allows the user to be more efficient with managing the waste at the source whilst generating thermal and electrical power from the waste which typically would have been sent to landfill.

The systems that we supply can be stand alone or fully modular for future expansion, return on investment can be less than 12 months dependent on the waste stream being treated. All of our systems can be retrofitted onto most of our equipment whether it be batch loaded or a continuous system.

This creates a number of benefits such as:

•         Revenue generated from selling energy back to the grid
•         Reduction in waste disposal gate fees
•         Offsets the government climate change levy
•         Government incentives – ROC’s and RHI

The payback for a yearly waste disposal of 350 tonnes can be between 2-3 years; this is a fantastic payback as many Addfield incinerators are still in operation over 20 years.

Many areas of the world have an issue in managing waste, stabilising electrical energy, with using our waste to energy system you could potentially power a small village.

The energy recovery system has a record of 85% efficient exhaust gas recirculation technology. This assures optimum efficiency, prevents ash build up and only takes 5 litres of fuel to operate a two stage burn. A ‘blasting’ cycle of superheated steam also limits any corrosion.

Addfield have previously used our TBAB with this system because it is the largest low capacity machine on the market with a chamber size of 4.18m³. This includes the Addfield standard Computational Fluid System (to ensure complete combustion) along with excess air and rapid cooling systems (aiding a cleaner burn and a quicker cooldown).
