Typical <br />F F F Umn <br /> <br />Carbon Monoxide <br /> <br />Carbon Monoxide is the result of incomplete combustion. The auxiliary fuels <br />used to quicken the cremation (natural gas, LP gas or oil) as well as the <br />products of combustion given off during the cremation of the body and <br />container must be completely burned to avoid significant emissions of <br />carbon monoxide. <br /> <br />Both of these fuel sources, auxiliary fuel and products of combustion must <br />be combined with a proper amount of oxygen and then subjected to <br />sufficient temperature (14000F or above) and turbulence to mix them. The <br />end result is carbon dioxide (C02). If sufficient amounts of oxygen, <br />temperature or turbulence are not available, the result is less carbon <br />dioxide and more carbon monoxide. <br /> <br />Chart 3.

Typical cremation systems have no ability to reduce the <br />amount of hydrogen chloride emitted. For every pound of chlorinated <br />plastics introduced into a cremator, approximately 0.55 pound of gaseous <br />hydrogen chloride is emitted in the exhaust. <br /> <br />20f9 <br /> <br />8/1101 8:04 AM <br />
