The main burner pre-heats the chamber to receive you and your casket is automatically
loaded into the chamber.
|
Your casket bursts into flames and you burn up leaving a little ash behind. Your
ashes drop out of the chamber. A secondary burner reduces you to
even less ash. It's fully automatic - no one even rakes you out. The rest of you - now smoke and
gas - enters a postcombustion chamber which burns up your volatiles (smoke
and dioxins).
|
The flue gases from your cremation are cooled by flowing through the flue gas heat
exchanger. Maybe your heat is transferred into the crematorium heating system -
whose toes will you warm?
|
Next your gaseous remains go through a cyclone filter which works by using the force of gravity
separate out your larger dust particles. The gas leaves
the cyclone and is led to the bag filter. The bags usually have shaker arms that are used when the bags need to be
cleaned. So some your dust will be collected at the bottom of the
bag house and then thrown away.

Finally you come out of the chimney (mostly water and carbon dioxide) and are lost in the atmosphere.
