→ THE CORE TECHNOLOGY

The right furnace.
For the right facility.

We start with the site, the expected workload and the local permit. Then we specify the furnace, heat source, controls and flue-gas treatment as one working system.

Energy options for GreenCrema cremation furnaces: electric, gas, hybrid and bio-oil

FIXED INSTALLATIONS / HUMAN + PET

More than one route to a lower-impact operation.

Electric operation can be paired with renewable electricity. Gas-fired and hybrid configurations may be better suited to some sites or existing infrastructure. The best choice depends on energy supply, usage pattern, capacity and lifecycle impact.

ElectricPrecise power control and a route to renewable electricity.
Gas / LPGA practical option where electrical capacity is limited.
HybridProject-specific flexibility when more than one energy source is appropriate.

Fuel choice alone does not establish environmental performance. Emissions, energy use and operating costs require project-specific assessment.

PLC / HMI controls support monitored operation.
CONTROLLED COMBUSTION

One process, carefully watched.

Primary and secondary chambers, controlled air supply and operator-facing controls help create repeatable operating conditions. A properly designed secondary chamber treats combustion gases before the cleaning stages. Temperature, residence time and oxygen are set for the permit and verified at commissioning.

  • Operator control and process alarms
  • Afterburning and measured operating conditions
  • Emissions monitoring specified for the site

PET & LARGER ANIMAL CREMATION

Care matters at every scale.

Cremation systems for pets and larger animals can be configured for fixed facilities. Chamber size, loading and remains-processing equipment are tailored to the animal species, body size and expected workload, with attention to safe handling, dependable operation and locally applicable emissions requirements.

→ ENGINEERED FOR LOCAL LIMITS

Technology for controlled emissions

Modern facilities pair good combustion with cooling, sorbents, filtration and measurement. The final sequence depends on the required pollutants, available space, heat-recovery plan and permit conditions.

CombustionPrimary + secondary chambersControlled temperature, oxygen and residence time
TemperatureRapid gas coolingPrepares gas for downstream treatment; heat recovery may be designed here
CaptureDry sorbent dosingActivated carbon for mercury/dioxins; lime or bicarbonate for acid gases
Targeted optionNOₓ reductionSNCR or SCR where required and technically appropriate
FiltrationBag or ceramic filterCaptures dust and spent reagent before the monitored stack
PROJECT-SPECIFIC TREATMENT & MONITORING

More ways to configure a cleaner process.

These options can be selected and combined where the emissions target, operating conditions and local permit call for them.

Wet scrubber

Cools and washes flue gas to remove selected particles and soluble acid gases. Water treatment and maintenance are planned for the site.

Cyclone separator

Spins out coarser dust ahead of finer cleaning stages. Its size and place in the system depend on the gas flow.

Emissions monitoring

Project-selected sensors, alarms and records help operators follow the conditions set by the permit.

Continuous monitoring (CEMS)

Calibrated instruments and data logging can continuously measure specified stack pollutants where required.

DESIGNED AGAINST A REAL PERMIT

Different countries. Different numbers.

There is no single EU or US limit table for every crematorium. We specify each system to meet the applicable emissions rules and site permit, with the furnace, controls and gas cleaning engineered together. The values below are regulatory examples, not a performance claim for an untested model.

Regulatory references reviewed September 2026. We monitor changes and recheck the applicable rules and permit conditions for each quotation and before shipment. The treatment sequence above is illustrative; a NOₓ catalyst and its operating temperature require project-specific engineering.

Compliance planned, then verified.For each order, we will agree a written specification covering the applicable requirements, test methods and acceptance criteria. Agreed documentation and factory checks are completed before shipment; independent pre-shipment emissions testing can be arranged when included in the project scope. Final site-permit compliance is confirmed after installation through commissioning and any authority-required stack tests.

→ FLEXIBLE FORMATS

When you need relocatable
units built to demanding requirements

The furnace stays central. The building or transport format follows the service you want to offer, with layout, utilities and permissions defined for the site.

Exterior finishes and farewell areas can be tailored to the surrounding community. The image illustrates a design direction; dimensions and construction are agreed for the project.

MOBILE / PET

Mobile and compact

Trailer or vehicle-based pet systems can support services across approved locations. Weight, fuel, access, power and chimney arrangements are assessed before the transport solution is specified.

→ RELATED SOLUTIONS

Specialised treatment beyond cremation.

Our partner network can discuss systems for biomedical and healthcare waste, including controlled incineration solutions for demanding waste streams. These projects need a separate assessment of waste classification, handling, permits, emissions treatment and operator safety.
