Abstract

A process for cremation of animal remains includes the steps of inserting animal remains into a primary combustion chamber of a cremator and igniting a primary burner in the primary combustion chamber. An oxygen content of gas leaving the primary combustion chamber is measured. The oxygen content is represented by an oxygen level information signal. A temperature of the primary combustion chamber is also measured and the temperature measured is represented by a primary temperature signal. Volatilization of animal remains is determined dependent upon at least one of the oxygen level information signal, the primary temperature signal and the passage of a predetermined amount of time. Upon determining volatilization of the animal remains, a volumetric flow rate of gas or fuel fed into the primary burner is adjusted. Further, the quantity of air being introduced into the primary combustion chamber is adjusted dependent upon the oxygen level information signal.

Dependent claims

A process for the cremation of animal remains, the process comprising the steps of:

a) inserting the animal remains into a primary combustion chamber of a cremation device;
b) igniting a primary burner in said primary combustion chamber of said cremation device;
c) measuring an oxygen content value of a gas leaving said primary combustion chamber, said oxygen content value being represented by an oxygen level information signal;
d) measuring a temperature of said primary combustion chamber, the temperature measured being represented by a primary temperature signal;
e) sensing volatilization of the animal remains dependent upon said oxygen level information signal and said primary temperature signal;
f) adjusting a volumetric flow rate of a gas fed into said primary burner;
g) adjusting a quantity of air being introduced into said primary combustion chamber dependent upon said oxygen level information signal and said primary temperature signal;
h) determining a degree of completion of cremation of the animal remains based upon said oxygen content value and expiration of a predetermined period of combustion time;
and
i) extinguishing said primary burner when said oxygen content value exceeds a predetermined oxygen content value after said expiration of said predetermined period of combustion time.
