Farms produce an estimated one billion tons of waste each year, including crop residues. Dry liquid waste generation is estimated to be one million gallons. Thus, economical waste treatment technologies that will minimize negative impacts on the environment are especially important to the farming community. Propane incineration is one such technology.
Most professionals in the poultry industry agree that cremation is the most biologically safe and sanitary method for disposing of small dead animals and poultry Propane-fueled incinerators offer a safe and cost-effective option for disposing of animal wastes. They are much simpler, more sanitary, and less costly than compost facilities.
A typical propane incinerator will have the following features:
- Single burner
- Stainless steel exterior
- Propane gas burner with spark ignition and flame safety shut-off
- Manual timer
