The specific objectives were to: <br /> � Measure polychlorinated dibenxodioxin (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofumn (PCDF), <br /> total particulate matter (PM), hydrogen chloride (RCI), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), lead <br /> (Pb). sulfur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NO,) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions <br /> simultaneously at the inlet and outlet of the wet scrubber along with observations of opacity <br /> at the chimney during three operating conditions where the secondary combustion chamber <br /> temperature would be varied. <br /> • Monitor and record primary and secondary chamber temperatures, presence of outdoor <br /> ambient odors, charge weights, body container descriptions, batch cycle times, fuel flow <br /> rates, outdoor ambient temperatures, outdoor relative humidity, and outdoor barometric <br /> pressure during each test run. <br /> Testing for the pollutants specified in the work assignment and also those COgtt3CtCd by CANA <br /> was done during three operating or test conditions where the secondary chamber was maintained <br /> at approximately 1,400°, 1,600°, and i*8Q0°F for each condition. The unit was heated to the <br /> operating temperature before testing. Testing for each run was started when the chamber door <br /> was closed following insertion of the body container. Testing for each NA was stopped when the <br /> operator determined that cremation was completed. Sampling was not conducted during any <br /> portion of a warm-up or cool-down period. <br /> Measured emission parameters were identical at the scrubber inlet and outlet locations. Opacity <br /> readings were taken outside at the chimney during all three tests. All sample analysis for target <br /> Pollutants, except HC1, were performed at MRi's laboratories in Kansas City, Missouri, <br /> Samples to be analyzed for HCI were transferred to Galbraith Laboratories, Inc., in Knoxville, <br /> Tennessee. for analysis. ETS, Inc. of Roanoke. Virginia, performed the EPA instrumental <br /> analyzer methods for CO2, Oz, SO=, NO, and CO as well as opacity observations. Proccss <br /> operating data were collected by CANA during each test run. <br /> 5 <br />
