Cremation flue gas abatement
When a crematorium performs a cremation. The cleaning of cremation emissions is for the environment, before they are released into the atmosphere. Cremation flue gas abatement is sometimes referred to a ‘flue gas filtration’ or ‘dry gas cleaning’, but fundamentally all are the same process that is employed to clean emissions before they are released into the air. This procedure to remove dangerous and noxious contaminants from flue gas emissions is absolutely vital if we are to protect our environment. It is also a crucial requirement if the incinerator plant is to comply with the world’s most stringent anti-pollutant legislation, standards and regulations. Read more about flue gas abatement
Flue gas abatement
The cremation filtration technology that is designed into our human cremators demands that all exhaust gases must be processed through a dry gas abatement system in order to thoroughly cleanse emissions prior to release. This cremation filter system, that is built into the final phase section of the crematorium, comprises either a specially manufactured filter together with a reagent storage/feed system.
Cremation energy recovery
As dry gases exit the energy recovery all gases are injected with lime or sodium bicarbonate, together with activated carbon. All these powerful filtration products are held in a special container that are sited near to the dry gas cleaning system. As the gas stream passes through the flue abatement system the lime or sodium bicarbonate will create a chemical reaction that effectively neutralizes any acid components such as sulphur dioxide or hydrogen chloride that are contained in the gas stream. Simultaneously the activated carbon will adsorb any heavy metals that may be present along with any dioxins. This cleansing stage is then followed up with a rigorous filtration procedure during which all residual dust from the combustion process, along with the spent lime, sodium bicarbonate and carbon will be captured on the abatement filter unit.
Cremation abatement disposal
At pre-programmed intervals, this residue is forced from the filters by compressed air into sealed containers that can then be safely transported for controlled and regulated disposal of the cremation flue gas abatement. Feel free to contact us for more information.
