Chapter - 8 Crematoria8.4 FIELD INVESTIGATIONSThe proposal may comprise either new facility or upgradation of existing facility or acombination of both.8.5 DESIGN AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS(A)Projects of electric/gas based crematoria should have the following components:Electric(a) Furnace(i) Furnace with appurtenant components with specifications as given below.(ii) The number of furnaces should be decided on the basis of expected cremation loadassessed through field investigations. Furnace having power rating of 51 KW Transformer-150 KVA LT Panel, HT switchgear, Heating elements Chimney – 30 m long as per norms of SPCB/CPCB Blower of 2800 rpm and 10 HP motor for flue gases Fresh air blower with servo motors Door motor for door lifting Charging trolley Pollution control equipment for cleaning flue gases like cyclone separator, waterspray tank and slurry tank(b) Building(i) Provision of a proper sized building should be made for housing cremation furnaceincluding sitting space for mourners, toilets, washrooms, drinking water etc.(ii) Even if only one furnace is proposed, provision of building should be made for twofurnaces keeping in view the future load.(iii) The optimum size for housing two furnaces and other facilities is 30 m x 20 m(B)Gas(a)FurnaceGas based crematoria may be operated on either CNG or LPG. Gas furnace with appurtenantcomponents should have the following specifications.Like electric crematoria, the number of furnaces should be decided on the basis of expectedcremation load assessed through field investigations.Furnace: With necessary burners generally four burners are provided in each furnaceFuel:CNG or LPGIgnition: Direct spark ignition 7300-volt ignition transformerMotor:3450-220 V-2.4 ABlower: 2800 rpm and 10 HP motor for flue gasesChimney: 30 m long as per norms of SPCB/CPCB68
