While wood burners are not a modern invention, they are becoming increasingly popular again and can be found in many homes in the 21st century, either as a fireplace or a stove. Wood burners, just as the name implies, burns wood in order to generate heat, and the unit usually consists of just a combustion chamber and chimney.

If we travel back in time to when wood burning fires were at the centre of the home, with the whole family crowded around the stove to warm up and cook, you can imagine the smoke filling the room!

Shortly after, a stove/chamber was designed to hold the fire in the corner of the room, followed by the invention of the chimney, to vent the smoke out of the room.

Even today with modern upgrades, it has been recorded how bad a wood burner can be for the environment, with the emissions released from using them, especially if multiple houses are using them for hours on end to heat their homes or cook their food.

Incineration and cremation may sound similar to wood burning, as both include burning items in a combustion chamber at high temperatures, but that is where the similarity ends.

While incinerators and cremators may not be as old as wood burners, we still have many years of development that has led to the most environmentally sustainable technology designed, throughout the whole Addfield range.

Let’s take pet cremation for example. Pet cremation as a business has boomed immensely over the years with many industries diversifying their business to include pet and horse cremation services. Many businesses will install a pet cremator in residential areas or on their own land if available. When people hear the word ‘cremator’ they may be concerned about what the process is doing to the environment, especially if they live near where the cremator is installed. We are often approached by concerned residents, and we are able to put their minds at ease.

A typical wood burner is a fairly simple system. It consists of one chamber and a chimney with logs and other materials being thrown in and ignited at temperatures fluctuating from 360°C/680°F to a peak of around 600°C/1112°F. These temperatures are not hot enough to produce clean gases. The gases, smoke and odours produced during combustion are released directly into the atmosphere without any cleaning. This is why you will see smoke billowing from chimneys and smell the distinct odour that comes from it in some residential areas.

In comparison, all Addfield incinerators and cremators are purposely built to handle a whole range of waste types safely and environmentally friendly. The pet and agricultural range burn at temperatures as high as 800°C/1470°F in the primary chamber, some equipped with additional hot hearth technology, heating the chamber from above and below to ensure full cremation of the animal. Whilst our medical and more complex machines burn as high as 850°C/1562°F. These temperatures are high enough to release cleaner gases into the secondary chamber.

Not included on a wood burner, the secondary chamber acts as a filtration gas cleaning system, with temperatures reaching 980°C/1800°F for the pets and animal machines, 1100°C/2012°F on the medical side. A 2 second retention time in the secondary chamber is the time the flue gases take to travel through the secondary chamber to ensure complete cleaning.

The secondary chamber always reaches operational temperature before anything in the primary chamber starts to burn, so any gases released from the cremation or incineration are treated from the very start of the process. The machine will never start the burning process until it can safely clean the gases.

Where a wood burner is designed to released heat out of the chamber, it is quite the opposite for an Addfield machine. Each chamber is lined with an advanced brick refractory, our alumina infused fire brick holds and releases the heat back into the chamber, behind the brick we have two further layers made up of insulation brick and board, these layers block the heat from escaping meaning it can only go one way from the fire brick and that’s back into the chamber. This means no heat is lost from the chamber, completing the cremation using 40% less fuel and is significantly safer to operate compared to alternative solutions.

This technology is what makes Addfield machines smoke and odour free, the most you are likely to see coming out of the chimney is a faint heat shimmer, which is very miniscule compared to the amount of smoke from a wood burner.

Even with the latest regulations that came into effect in 2022, meaning that all wood burners had to meet certain environmental standards and guidelines, Addfield incinerators and cremators are proven significantly more environmentally friendly due to the added filtration of the secondary chamber and brick lined refractory.

Addfield has always prided itself on its accessibility and dedication so if you have any question on the real world impact of one of our machines in your neighbourhood, please feel free to reach out to us at sales@addfield.com

The first day focussed on the High Capacity and Waste to Energy approaches to sustainable waste incineration delivered by the team at Addfield Projects. The second day presented a number of exciting innovations coming to the world of pet cremation from AES that are launching this spring. Welcoming visitors from the 27th to 28th March the two days were an incredible success keeping both teams busy as visitors travelled internationally and nationally to see the future of waste management and cremation.

“This was a great opportunity for us to celebrate not only the opening of our new facility for Addfield Projects, that they only moved into a few months ago. This new site enables them to build these massive plants from start to finish all in one place which is a real boost to the business. It was also a great opportunity to invite and meet with so many new and expanding pet cremation businesses to show them the latest upgrades that we have been working on behind the scenes, and help them to choose the perfect cremator for their business needs. This was a really impressive turn out over both days and the two teams did a tremendous job putting the days together.” Derek Carr – Managing Director, Addfield.

Addfield has always prided itself on quality, continuously reinvesting to develop new and more sustainable approaches to thermal treatment that ultimately benefit the end user and the environment, no matter what industry they are in.

Having made incredible progress in the past decade, from a business and operational perspective achieving record growth in 2024 for both AES and Addfield Projects, it was agreed that there was no better time than the start of Spring to celebrate the future opportunities that lay ahead.

The feedback from the visitors reflected how seeing the facilities up close was incredibly useful when thinking of their own project.

Kicking off the first day, Addfield Projects exhibited a completed, high-capacity waste to energy facility ready to be tested before shipping to Guernsey to manage the islands general waste. Being able to take a tour around a completed facility is not an opportunity that comes up often and so attendees came from across the country from councils, consultants and private businesses. As large as it was the team are set to begin work on a machine two and a half times larger very soon. Visitors had the opportunity to speak with the many experts at Addfield Projects who will be designing and building their projects, and learned about previous installations that may be similar to their needs.

The second day, the team focussed on some of Addfield’s more compact solutions in comparison. Showcasing two new approaches to pet cremation. An industry achieving enormous growth in the past 5 years from private and individual businesses. Beginning with the newly redesigned PET200 one of the worlds most popular solutions for pet crematoriums displaying for the first time a number of updates to increase performance and operational comfort. Alongside that was the A50 IC 2 a four chambered pet cremator for the larger operator which in this instance was fitted for the first time with a number of additional options which can lead to an increase in throughput of more than 30% in operation. Attended by existing and start up customers some flying all the way from the Middle East for this opportunity to see what’s new.

This was a perfect way to welcome in Spring and the new financial year. The success of the events have reinforced the decision to continue to organise more in the future. It was great opportunity for the two companies to come together to share the celebration of the combined success over the years and commitment to providing the most robust, reliable and efficient incinerators and cremators. Dedicated to our customer values, the open days allowed Addfield to present several 1-2-1 sessions simultaneously ensuring every customer need and question was met – another reason why they say that Addfield is Simply Built Better.

Since 1982, Addfield has evolved hugely through dedication and teamwork, pushing itself to become global leaders in the sustainable waste management industry. The Addfield name can be found in more than 150 countries, showing the worldwide reach that the companies have reached.

Many farmers know the stressful time of year that is lambing season, there are many things to plan and prepare for months ahead. You need to factor in the possibility of diseases that could potentially devastate your farm during this period, making biosecurity a key focus.

Common diseases during lambing season.

Watery Mouth Disease (WMD) is a severe bacterial infection that can affect lambs at the very start of their life, with most cases of WMD occurring in the 6 to 48 hours of being born. The causes of WMD can be due to many things, from the ewe’s milk lacking nutrients like colostrum, stress, weather conditions or infection from contaminated tools or bedding.

The symptoms of WMD can be identified by the lamb showing signs of drooling, this is the most common symptom to look out for. The lamb may also appear more sluggish and more reluctant to feed.

If left untreated, WMD can cause malnutrition or death of the lamb.

Due to infection, if you have a lamb showing these signs, fast action is required to prevent putting the rest of your livestock at risk.

Bluetongue Virus has spread this year.

Bluetongue Virus (BTV) is a virus transmitted by Ceratopogonidae (biting midges) which is a family of insects that are usually around Europe in the Autumn season. You are probably wondering how this can affect lambing season which usually takes place around Spring time. BTV can infect lambs before they’re born if the ewe is infected while pregnant.

Farmers have been advised that if their lambs are born small or with deformities or are stillborn, there could be a chance that they were infected with BTV in utero.

Although BTV cannot affect humans, outbreaks of the virus on many UK farms can cause problems with trade restrictions. This highlights the importance of biosecurity not just during lambing season but year-round.

2024 saw an increase of the virus spreading across many British farms, and not only affecting lambs or sheep, but also cattle, goats, deer, and even alpacas.

Prepare yourself.

There are many other diseases that can cause issues during lambing season, and while every farm will have their own obstacles to overcome, it’s in everyone’s best interest to be prepared and bio secure. Make sure supplies have been stocked and easily accessible. Provide clean and disinfected lambing sheds and pens to minimise bacterial infections like WMD.

Act quick when disposing of contaminated materials or carcasses, to reduce the risk of spreading diseases, keep your farm clean and saving you time in the long run.

Addfield have worked with many farmers in over 40 years of being in the industry, and we understand the importance of being organised when it comes to lambing season. Many farmers opt for onsite incineration with an Addfield agricultural incinerator when disposing of lamb carcasses, as it offers them convenience, savings on cost & up to 40% on fuel and gives them more time to focus on their remaining livestock.

We love to shout out about Addfield being an international name and how we’re helping so many countries with their waste disposal needs, but none of that would be possible without our international representatives, who are dotted around the map and have the knowledge about their specific region to help Addfield make a global impact from our factory in the heart of the United Kingdom.

Romeo, of Waste Incinerators Canada/HealthCeuticals, is our Canadian representative who has been working with Addfield for over a decade and has supported on many projects that have been installed in Canada.

Although Romeo has been in collaboration with Addfield for around 12 years, he only recently had the opportunity to fly to the UK, and visit our factory in Burntwood, Staffordshire. Accompanied by his wife Sara, he spent a few days touring our factory, attending meetings about the exciting future for Addfield in Canada, sightseeing in Lichfield, and even had the time for a short interview.

During this interview Romeo talked about the different types of industries Addfield support in Canada, from pet cremation to cannabis incinerators, and spoke about Addfield Projects who are a separate entity from Addfield Environmental Systems, that focus on the high capacity, complex waste disposal.

He also discusses his visit to Addfield, seeing firsthand the engineers working on the machines, Romeo says, “You can see every section of the process, and how they are mostly handcrafted and I believe it’s the most dedicated technology and the most robust incinerators right now on the globe.”

Agriculture is one of the biggest sectors in Canada, with biosecurity being very important for regulations, Romeo recognises that Addfield craft the most compliant and bio secure agricultural incinerators in the world to meet the Canadian regulations.

Romeo is also excited for the future between Addfield and Waste Incinerators Canada, and is very optimistic about the projects that we have in the pipeline.

Similar to the COVID-19 outbreak, MPOX has travelled across continents, infecting many countries and causing a strain on the hospitals and healthcare system, and as of late 2024, has now reach the United Kingdom, with hundreds of confirmed cases. In DRC, many young children have contracted the disease and doctors & nurses are working tirelessly to see to every patient. Vaccines have been donated from many disease control foundations. One thing the healthcare system shouldn’t have to worry about is the medical waste created that could potentially spread the disease to more people.

The safest and most effective way to dispose of medical waste, and ensure that no germs will be spread is through incineration. Addfield’s medical waste incinerator range, particularly the MP machines, ensure that complete incineration has taken place and eliminates any disease that gloves, syringes or masks may have carried.

We have been helping tackle global problems just like this for many years and worked with many different international aid agencies to provide the most sustainable incineration technology to developing countries, just like the MP200 medical pathological waste incinerators that we are producing for the DRC specifically to help deal with this growing problem.

As we face future health threats, sustainable medical waste disposal will be a crucial part of global healthcare. By using efficient technologies like Addfield’s MP200, countries can better protect their populations and prevent diseases from spreading further.

June marked a significant milestone for the team as we were awarded the Express and Star Business Awards for 2024 (ESBA24) award for ‘Small to Medium Business of the Year’. This year held at the Wolverhampton’s Civic, the event was a night to remember as we celebrated in the company of a number of other outstanding businesses.

The night started with a reception prior held at the Wulfrun Hall, with a black-tie dress code, an electric atmosphere and the team letting their hair down with a lot of selfies to show for it. The main ceremony included a diverse range of companies in their own fields and it was an honour to be recognised amongst other distinguished winners of the night.

The SME of the Year award recognises small to medium businesses who demonstrate ongoing success, and as a company with its roots in a small town in the West Midlands, that now has installations across more than 150 countries this is fantastic recognition of the success we have recently achieved.

“It was a wonderful evening and a real privilege to have been able to bring our team together from across all departments to celebrate our success together. Whether we had won or not it was going to be a celebration just being shortlisted but when we heard our name read out as the winner it was just the icing on the cake of a great evening. We are really proud of the impact we have been able to have on a global scale from our head office in Burntwood Staffordshire.” Ian Gilbert, Sales and Marketing Manager

As we reflect on this recent achievement, we really could not have done it without every single member of the team, from in-house employees to our international distributors. This award is not just about celebrating our past achievements, but to also inspire us to strive for further excellence in the future.

As winter begins to settle the dangers of Avian Flu really hit home across the UK.

A state of emergency has been declared across the UK this winter by the UK Chief veterinary Office Christine Middlemiss as Avian Flu continues to spread across the country, affecting wild and captive birds alike.

Poultry farmers are being warned to be vigilant and to be prepared for what could be a potentially devastating endemic of the latest mutated strain of the H5N8 virus, which has been causing major difficulties across Europe recently.

The dangers of infection and the spread of this disease are becoming apparent through the clear impact that it is having on the wild bird population. Which are being noticeably affected and reports are increasing of multiple swan deaths being linked to this latest virulent strain of Bird flu that is sweeping across the UK.

Where are the latest Avian Flu outbreaks?

In Worcestershire, rescuers have taken care of dozens of dying birds and in Blackpool, many Swans and Cygnets have been found dead in Stanley Park. In Dawlish in Devon, postmortems have been completed on several swans and cygnets which confirmed the worst fears that the latest strain of Avian Flu H5N8 was responsible.

All of the sites affected in the UK are hundreds of miles apart, highlighting the ferocity of this latest strain. It’s believed to have been brought in by migrating wild birds travelling across Europe. This strain was responsible for the mass and widespread deaths of birds during 2016 and 2017.

To combat the fears that this virus could potentially wipe out massive numbers of chickens, turkeys, and other poultry stock across the UK, the government has declared a special Avian Influenza Prevention Zone in England, Scotland, and Wales. This zone coincides with the increase in responsibilities for farmers to manage their own biosecurity measures.

Avian Flu Outbreaks in chicken farms and broiler houses are being monitored and already tens of thousands of birds have been culled in broiler houses in Cheshire, Kent, Leicestershire, and Herefordshire.

Although most noticeable in the wild swan population this latest strain of Bird Flu has also been responsible for deaths in Pink Footed Geese, Buzzards, Curlews, Greylag Geese, and Canadian Geese, indicating just how virulent the disease can be crossing from species to species.

Although Wild birds often get the blame for spreading the disease, in most instances they are infected with the virus from coming into contact with infected poultry, which in many instances are being moved from region to region.

As always the importance of following strict biosecurity measures is a priority to poultry farmers. It’s required for farmers to keep strict distancing measures in place to prevent mixing between wildfowl and captive birds.

Across the UK in 2020, new regulations have recently been implemented affecting all poultry farmers. Regardless of whether they have hundreds or thousands of birds, all farmers are now legally required to adhere to the new biosecurity measures to protect themselves and their livestock.

Avian Influenza Exclusion zone

The most notable points of the New Avian Influenza Exclusion zone include:

• Keepers with more than 500 birds must restrict access to their site for non-essential visitors.
• Workers’ clothing and footwear must be changed before entering bird enclosures.
• Site vehicles must be cleaned and disinfected regularly.
• Make areas, where birds are kept, are uninviting to wild birds, for example removing wild bird food sources and placing netting over ponds.
• All livestock must be fed in enclosed areas
• Movement between enclosures must be kept to a minimum.
• Clean and Disinfect any contaminated areas.

In fact, if you are aware of the biosecurity measure in place on pig farms, you will see the similarity in many elements of the guidelines.

To maintain biosecurity, we would always recommend installing a dedicated agricultural incinerator onsite to ensure that farmers are able to complete many of these steps easily. By handling and disposing of fallen stock onsite rather than waiting for a collection agency removes risks of contamination spreading. Incinerating onsite removes the need for collection agencies, which can potentially bring infection onto your farms.

As such, we have already been in discussion with several of our regular customers on how to enforce biosecurity measures on-site alongside installing additional machines across more sites. In doing so, we aim to help them reduce the number of visitors and increase the speed and efficiency of disposing of any infected, fallen, and culled animals.

If you believe that you may have come into contact with or witnessed a bird with Avian Flu you must either contact DEFRA as a member of the public on 03459 335577. Alternatively, if you are a keeper of birds you should notify the APHA on 03000 200 301 as soon as possible.

The recent announcement of the cross-contamination of a human with Swine Flu has raised discussions once again about the importance of biosecurity. Although this isolated case in the UK has made the news, is it something that you really need to be worried about?

African Swine Fever (AFSV) is a very serious disease that decimates livestock globally and sadly there is currently no cure. It can spread rapidly from wild pigs and boar into agricultural swine and decimate industries.

The Pig Flu that has crossed over into humans is not Swine Fever it is in fact A(H1N2)v which is a subtype of the influenza A virus that can infect you and is commonly just referred to as the Flu.

‘A’ types of influenza are the only type that can cause pandemics as they are capable of mutating and infecting various species, which is the case with A(H1N2), which can also infect pigs. In fact, the H1N2 variant contains genes from human, swine and avian influenza viruses, which makes it particularly potent and adaptable.

Should I be worried about Pig Flu?

According to the evidence, the answer is simple. No, not really. Autumn and Winter are commonly referred to as Flu season, and the H1N2 variant is just one of many that are floating around. The one person infected in the UK only suffered mild symptoms and recovered fully in only a couple of days.

In this instance it is nothing to worry about but what about next time? you may ask yourself.

How to Prevent a Pandemic

The agricultural industry is in a continuous war with viruses, and with all wars, there are often changes in which side is winning. In recent years, we have seen livestock and even countries decimated by African Swine Fever and Avian Flu; a small number of bird flu variants have crossed over into humans, resulting in minor illnesses. However, as we saw with the recent COVID-19 pandemic, it does not take long for a mutated virus to wreak havoc globally.

There is an old saying that goes, ‘Prevention is better than the cure’, which seems to be an approach that an increasing number of international governments are taking note of and are getting prepared for.

Biosecurity is the answer.

When a biosecurity crisis breaks out, it is often too late to order a solution that could take weeks or even months to deliver, depending upon the remoteness of the country. As such, in recent years, we have been supplying several countries with a number of our Rapid 1000 incinerators. These are our largest traditional machines, and when you need to dispose of infected livestock rapidly and securely, they are often the only option capable of handling up to 1000kg at a time.

In the same way, you will find fire engines parked up and waiting to jump into action at a moment’s notice to prevent the spread of fire. These trailer-mounted incinerators have been positioned in critical locations inland and near ports able to roll out and handle the disposal of the culled livestock within hours, dramatically reducing the risk to health and to industry.

Biosecurity has been a key factor within the farming industry for many years. An increasing number of countries now require every farm to have an onsite incinerator, and the benefits are clear. Beyond providing a cost-effective and timely way to dispose of fallen livestock and waste throughout the year, if an infection occurs, they can save their business with swift action, removing the virus at its source before it spreads across their grounds.

Addfield has been supporting the agricultural industry for over 40 years and have worked with farmers throughout multiple outbreaks as such we are experts in the field and available to answer any further questions you have.

Here at Addfield, we have supported dozens of successful pet cremation businesses to launch and grow over the years. Most commonly installing our PET200 or A50 IC 1 household pet cremators. However, occasionally we will install something a little larger the TB AB Equine.
Not as widely discussed as household pet cremation due to the misconception of its demand however in recent years and with the change of regulations across many horse-owning countries, the demand for something larger has grown considerably.

In no small part, simply due to the size of the animals but also to do with how they are considered amongst different communities. To some, a horse is a work animal, the same as cattle to others, a beloved pet, the same as your cat and dog would be. This is where the regulations can become a little muddied. In most countries, working horses cannot be buried, whereas Pet Horses can, for now, assuming you have the space.

Once again, the benefit of cremation comes in as even the smallest of gardens could provide big enough for the average household pet if the owner chose that option; however, having the ability to move and bury a horse on your own land is not likely to be available for most.

The majority of horse owners keep their horses on other people’s land or in privately owned stables renting the space. Once their horse has passed it may not be a location that they will return to and is not likely one that will want to become a horse graveyard.

The market is currently untapped, and the potential is great. Globally the number of horses owned as pets is phenomenal, with the USA leading having 1,600,000 million households owning (7,250,000) horses compared to 374,000 (847,000 horses) in the UK. Followed by personal horse ownership in the millions across Mexico, Brazil, China, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand.

Although not widely publicised, the opportunity for a full-service Equine Crematorium to provide collection and return of ashes is potentially the next stage in the global growth of pet cremation as a business.

Horse Cremation is a side of Pet cremation that not everyone will be able to fulfil however, if you have the land and the opportunity, it can be incredibly rewarding.

At first appearance, horse cremation could appear to be more complicated than traditional pet cremation however it really is very similar. Agreed, the size of the animal is going to be closer to 500kg than your average 15kg dog. The process will still be the same.

Instead of a lifting table, you can choose a winch system or forklift truck to load the horse. The TB AB Equine is a top-loading individual cremator with reinforced heat and impact-resistant loading zones. Its loading chamber is more than 4m3 and capable of holding even the largest of horses without additional processing.

Once in operation, the TB AB Equine will run in the background for the day, before cooling overnight, ready for deashing the next day. The ashes, once removed, can be loaded into our special equine cremulator for final preparation before returning to the owners.

A very similar process to our traditional pet cremation. One of the most significant differences is income generation. Based on our customer feedback, we understand that the average cost of a pet cremation in the UK is generally between £150 -£200, depending upon location. The fee for a horse is consistently around the £1000 figure. Combining low operational costs and high-profit margins, the return on investment on a TB AB Equine can be very quick, and as they are built to the same standard as our traditional agricultural range, they come with an expected life expectancy of over 20 years with regular servicing.

We keep in touch with our customers and hear many stories the most incredible that we have heard yet is from one of our customers based just a few miles from a local Zoo, while we never intended for the machine to cremate a full-grown adult Rhino, in this instance it was the only option available. The machine was once described by one customer as being built like a tank that cremated the closest animal to a tank.

As with all pet crematoriums, having a strong business plan at the start is essential. If you have any questions about setting up an equine crematorium in your region, we have a team of experts available to help guide you through your regulations, expectations and opportunities to begin what could be a very lucrative next business venture.
