Agriculture is one of the most important industries in the world, and it is essential for ensuring food security and sustainable development. However, agricultural activities can also generate significant amounts of waste, including crop residues, animal manure, and other organic materials. In many cases, the waste product can be recycled or reused to benefit the environment and local communities. In some situations, the waste may need to be disposed of safely and effectively, and this is where an agriculture incinerator can be useful.
Even more so since Brexit are we aware of how much more our British farmers are doing for the UK.

M & S group can design, fabricate and install many different types of agricultural incinerators.
Types of Agriculture Incinerators
There are several types of agriculture incinerators available, each designed to meet specific needs and requirements. The most common types include:
Fixed hearth incinerators: These are the simplest type of incinerator and consist of a stationary combustion chamber where waste is burned. The heat generated is used to evaporate moisture and burn off organic materials, leaving behind ash and gases.
Multiple hearth incinerators: These incinerators have multiple chambers or "hearth" levels, each of which is designed to handle a specific type of waste. The waste is moved from one hearth level to the next using a mechanical system, allowing for more efficient combustion and heat recovery.
Fluidized bed incinerators: These incinerators use a fluidized bed of sand or other inert material to burn waste at high temperatures. The fluidized bed helps to promote mixing and turbulence, resulting in more complete combustion and reduced emissions.
Benefits of Agriculture Incinerators
There are several benefits to using an agriculture incinerator, including:
Safe disposal of waste: Agriculture incinerators provide a safe and effective way to dispose of waste materials that cannot be recycled or reused, helping to minimize the risk of disease transmission and environmental pollution.
Reduced volume of waste: Incineration can help to reduce the volume of waste, making it easier and more cost-effective to transport and dispose of.
Energy recovery: Some agriculture incinerators are designed to recover heat energy generated during the incineration process, which can be used to generate electricity or heat.
Compliance with regulations: Incineration may be required by local, county, or country regulations, and using an agriculture incinerator can help to ensure compliance with these regulations.
Challenges and Risks
While agriculture incinerators can provide many benefits, there are also some challenges and risks associated with their use. Some of the key challenges and risks include:
Emissions: Incinerators can generate emissions such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulphur dioxide, which can contribute to air pollution and affect local air quality.
Cost: Agriculture incinerators can be expensive to purchase and maintain, which may be a barrier to their use for some farmers or agricultural businesses.
Public perception: Incineration is often viewed as a controversial waste disposal method, and there may be concerns about its safety and impact on the environment.
M &S groups work collaboratively with Defra and follow DAERA and DAFM legislation, for all farming purpose incinerators.
