Addfield Projects

Addfield Projects designs and builds bespoke thermal treatment plants for the waste streams that off-the-shelf equipment cannot handle. We are the sister company of Addfield Environmental Systems, one of the world's leading incinerator manufacturers, with machines installed in over 160 countries since 1982. Both businesses share one management team and one manufacturing home in Burntwood, Staffordshire, in the heart of the UK.

Our engineers have delivered cyanidation solutions in Saudi Arabia, petrochemical site treatment in Central Africa, fully abated high capacity plant in South America, and a sustainable solution for one of the world's largest gold mines in Papua New Guinea, each designed around the specific waste, site and regulations involved.

We understand how a remote mine site can be a self-contained town. Camps housing hundreds of workers generate food waste, general waste, clinical waste from on-site medical centres, oily rags, used filters and contaminated packaging, often hundreds of kilometres from the nearest licensed disposal facility. Trucking that waste off site is expensive, adds road risk and emissions, and relies on disposal routes that may not stand up to a future audit. On-site landfill is increasingly hard to justify to regulators, investors and the communities operators depend on.

Controlled incineration solves that problem at source. Our systems burn waste cleanly, delivering smoke and odour free results and leaving only a small volume of sterile ash.

For larger operations we can go even further. Energy recovery can turn waste heat into hot water or power for accommodation, processing or site services. Our waste to energy plant for an NHS hospital near our factory now saves over £200,000 a year on energy bills. HVO biofuel burners and solar power options offer further routes to lower carbon footprints.

As a UN Global Compact signatory, we build to EU emission standards wherever we work, whether or not local rules require it. For operators reporting against ESG commitments, that provides a reliable, documented disposal route for every waste stream on site.
