Gas Crematorium how it works – Gas Cremation Process

Gas Cremation done in a Gas crematorium and the Gas crematorium designed to have one or two cremation furnaces. The Gas crematorium temperature is of 600 –1200 °C to cremate the body. Though the time required in Gas cremation varies from body to body, average of 45 minutes time is required to cremate a body in the gas crematorium. The gas crematorium is designed to cremate one human body at a time in one cremation furnace. The cremation chamber where the body is placed is called a retort and cremation furnace is constructed with heat-resistant refractory bricks and fire bricks. The furnace chamber is insulated with insulated bricks which is calcium silicate in nature and the outer most of furnace will have anti heat radiation objects. Automated gas burners are fixed in the Gas cremation furnace to effectively cremate the body at a lesser time compare to electric cremation furnace which require a normal time of 1 hour.

During the gas cremation process, maximum of the body (the organs and tissues) is vaporized and oxidized by the intense fire and heat; gases released are discharged to Gas Cleaning System where it is properly treated and the smoke exhaust through the stack chimney and the water discharged to the effluent treatment plant.
