DEFRA Compliance Support

Operational and servicing guidance to keep your AIS Cyclone aligned with DEFRA's expectations for on-farm incineration.

DEFRA Compliance Support

AIS Cyclone agricultural incinerators are engineered around the requirements set out for on-farm incineration of Animal By-Products in the UK. We support customers with the operational documentation, scheduled servicing and parts availability needed to keep that compliance current.

This page summarises the day-to-day practices that help operators maintain a clean compliance posture. It is general guidance only — operators should consult DEFRA or their local authority for formal regulatory advice on their specific site.

What good DEFRA-aligned operation looks like

  • Operating an approved on-farm incinerator built to ABP standards
  • Maintaining cycle logs for each disposal
  • Annual servicing by a competent engineer
  • Replacing thermocouples and burner consumables on schedule
  • Keeping refractory and seals inspected
  • Storing carcasses in line with biosecurity expectations prior to disposal

How AIS supports compliance

Every Cyclone is hand-built to meet the secondary-chamber temperature and residence-time expectations DEFRA sets out for on-farm incinerators. Each unit ships with operator documentation, commissioning records and a maintenance schedule.

Our UK service network provides annual servicing, thermocouple replacement, burner servicing and emergency support — all of which contribute to maintaining the audit trail your inspector will look for.
