The specific objectives were to: <br /> <br /> <br />· Measure polychlorinated dibenzodioxin (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF), <br />total particulate matter (PM), hydrogen chloride (HCI), cadmium (Cd). mercury (fIg). lead <br />(Pb). sulfur dioxide (502). oxides of nitrogen (NO".) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions <br />simultaneously at the inlet and outlet of the wet scrnbber along with observations of opacity <br />at the chimney during three operating conditions. where the secondary combustion chamber <br />temperature would be varied. <br /> <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 /> <br />Testing for the pollutants specified in the work assignment and also those contracted by CANA <br />was done during three operating or test conditions where the secondary chamber was maintained <br />at approximately 1,4000. 1,6000, and l,8000F for each condition. The unit was heated to the <br />operating temperature before testing. Testing for each rnn was started when the chamber door <br />was closed following insertion ofthe body container. Testing for each run was stopped when the <br />operator determined that cremation was completed. Sampling was not conducted during any <br />portion ofa warm-up or cool.down period. <br /> <br />Measured emission parameters were identical at the scrubber inJetand outlet locations. Opacity <br />readings were taken outside at the chimney during all three tests. All sample analysis for target <br />ponutants, except HCI, were performed at MID's laboratories in Kansas City, Missouri, <br />Samples to be analyzed for HCI were transferred to Galbraith Laboratories, Inc., in Knoxville, <br />TeMessee. fot analysis. ETS, Inc. of Roanoke, Virginia, performed the EPA instrumental <br />analyzer methods for CO2, 02, SOz. NOx. and CO as wen as opacity observations. Process <br />operating data were collected by CANA during each test run. <br /> <br />5 <br />
