1. INTRODUCTION The two cremators and associated flue gas abatement system at Parndon Wood Crematorium, Harlow Essex, CM19 4SF were monitored on the 15th March 2016 to the requirements given in Process Guidance Note PG5/2 (2012) for emission releases to atmosphere. The work was carried out on site by the following staff of Davies & Co (Engineering) Limited: Mr J L Boyce EA MCertS Level 2 + TE1,2,3,4 MM 06 707 Davies & Co does not hold company UKAS / MCertS accreditation at this time, as the company specialises in cremator and incinerator testing that are Part B processes. Air Quality Guidance Note AQ12 (04) states that UKAS / MCertS accreditation is not a mandatory requirement for the testing of Part B processes. Davies & Co are members of the Source Testing Association, and have extensive knowledge of crematoria testing. All analysis was conducted using UKAS approved laboratories, methods and calibrated equipment. The work on site involved monitoring the flue gas components after the flue gas abatement system fitted to the cremator with the plant operating normally. The plant being tested comprises two cremators, No 1 of model type FTIII with a wider hearth and No 2 of model type FTII, both fitted with two nozzle mix burners utilising natural gas as the support fuel. The waste gases from both cremators combine and are ducted to a flue gas treatment plant. The treatment plant comprises of a shell and tube boiler to cool the flue gases, a reagent feeder station that introduces a blend of activated carbon/sodium bicarbonate to react with the cooled gases, and a bag filter to clean the treated gases. The waste heat from the boilers in the form of warm water is dissipated to atmosphere via a finned tube air blast cooler situated outside the crematory. The plant operates under full microprocessor based automatic control that requires little manual intervention. The cremators and flue gas abatement system were manufactured, installed and commissioned by Facultatieve Technologies Limited to meet the requirements of the Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2010 (EPR 2010) as relevant to new crematoria installations, summarised in Process Guidance Note PG5/2 (2012). The flue ducting and test points were in accordance with the requirements of EA TGN M1. Measurements were undertaken to enable comparisons to be made of the operation of the cremators and associated abatement system with the requirements of the Guidance Note in terms of emission releases to air.

2. PROCEDURES 2.1 Total Particulate Matter A flue gas sample was extracted and filtered to collect total particulate matter. A Whatman QM-A filter paper was used with a particle retention of not less than 99.5% at a particle size of 0.3 micron. The flue gas extraction employed techniques given in BS EN 13284 Part 1. The method employed was BS EN 13284 Part 1.

The sampling was conducted using apparatus in accordance with the requirements of BS EN 13284 Part 1. This consisted of a heated known dimension Pyrex glass nozzle, heated Pyrex glass probe liner, heated Pyrex glass filter housing with Titanium frit containing quartz microfibre filter (all heaters set to 160°C), PTFE sample line, dreschel absorption bottles, gas dryer (silica gel), sample line to pump, pump, gas meter, rotameter, pitot and impulse lines, electronic manometer, type K thermocouple, balance (for gravimetric moisture) and datalogger. Settings tables were pre-prepared to enable isokinetic flow to be maintained (based on online measurements of flue gas velocity and temperature to set nozzle flow / pump rate (l/min)). Particulate matter analysis was carried out by weighing the filter and probe rinse collection on a calibrated balance, with the media being dried and weighed prior to and following the test. Standard BS EN 13284 Part 1 was deviated from only in so far as a consequence of conducting tests in accordance with the requirements of PG5/2(12) that requires total particulate matter to be sampled for one hour of cremation. This therefore implies that only one sampling line can be used for each test run as sampling on 2 lines would require a stop half way through the test to move the probe out of one port and into another thus losing a period within the allotted one hour needed to obtain an hourly average as required by PG5/2(12). This is contrary to BS EN 13284 Part 1 that requires 2 sample lines to be used during an isokinetic test i.e. four point sampling (2 points x 2 lines) for a duct of this diameter.

The effect on uncertainty of using only one sample line is not considered to be significant and assumed to be within the calculated uncertainties stated in this report. These assumptions are on the basis that the preliminary pitot traverses confirmed the gas velocity profiles were well within required limits, and the duct diameter was relatively small (350 mm diameter) considering the scope of BS EN 13284 Part 1. The duct was compliant with the requirements of the Standard in terms of duct diameter and length measurements as well as meeting all requirements of Environment Agency Technical Guidance Note M1. In accordance with the Standard flue gas was sampled at 2 representative points along the sample line and as such there is no reason to suspect that the gas sampled from only one sampling line is not representative of the duct as a whole. This recommended deviation is a reflection that cremation is a batch process, and that changing sampling ports part-way through a cremation could introduce more errors due to fact that a period of each cremation would not be sampled during the changeover process. The tests reported herein were conducted to prove the performance of the cremators relative to PG5/2(2012).

JB/DEM0909/15.03.15 /Page6

The tests reported herein were conducted to prove the performance of the cremators relative to PG5/2(2012). 2.2 Hydrogen Chloride A flue gas sample was extracted and filtered. A Whatman QM-A filter paper was used with a particle retention of not less than 99.5% at a particle size of 0.3 micron. The flue gas extraction employed techniques given in BS EN 13284 Part 1. The sampling was conducted using apparatus in accordance with the requirements of BS EN 13284 Part 1. The method employed was BS EN 1911 Parts 1-3. Laboratory analysis for hydrogen chloride was carried out on the absorption medium using Ion Chromatography (IC). 2.3 Mercury A flue gas sample was extracted and filtered to collect solid phase mercury. A Whatman QM-A filter paper was used with a particle retention of not less than 99.5% at a particle size of 0.3 micron. The flue gas extraction employed techniques given in BS EN 13284 Part 1. The gas sample was then passed through an absorption medium of acidified potassium dichromate to collect vapour phase mercury. The method employed was BS EN 13211. Laboratory analysis for solid and vapour phase mercury was carried out on the filter and absorption medium using Inductively Cold Vapour Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy (CVAFS). 2.4 Carbon Monoxide A flue gas sample was continuously extracted, filtered and dried before being passed through a pre-calibrated Siemens Ultramat 23 infrared analyser for the on-line measurement of carbon monoxide. The method employed was BS EN 15058. The analyser has a fixed range of 0-1250 mg/Nm3 and was zeroed with air and calibrated with a nominal 800 ppmv carbon monoxide in balance nitrogen gas. The analyser output was continuously recorded using a Grant 'Squirrel' data logger.

JB/DEM0909/15.03.15 /Page7

For these tests a relatively high range analyser was used due to the typical pattern of carbon monoxide concentration emissions from cremators being very low (often indicated as zero) for most of the cycle, but with occasional, high, short duration spikes of CO being emitted. The convention since non-continuous emissions monitoring became a mandatory requirement for cremators during 1990, has been to attempt to monitor the magnitude of spikes, as these are often the main contributor to total CO emissions. If, for example, a mean one minute emission of CO was say 100 mg/Nm³, it would be expected that the peak concentration during that one minute averaging period would be considerably higher than this. It follows that utilising a lower range analyser would frequently understate CO emissions, despite increasing sensitivity at low CO concentrations. 2.5 Total Organic Compounds A flue gas sample was continuously extracted and filtered before being passed via a heated line through a pre-calibrated Signal 3030PM Flame Ionisation Detection (FID) analyser for the on-line measurement of volatile organic compounds. The analyser was ranged 0-100 ppmv total hydrocarbons and was zeroed with air passed through a catalytic converter and calibrated with a nominal 50 ppmv propane in balance air gas. The method employed was BS EN 12619. The analyser output was continuously recorded using a Grant 'Squirrel' data logger. Similar comments apply to TOC’s as CO, in that the analyser scaling is set to quantify the peaks that are the nature of the emission. 2.6 Oxygen A flue gas sample was continuously extracted from the same position in the flue as the hydrogen chloride extraction, filtered and dried before being passed through a pre-calibrated Siemens Ultramat 23 electrochemical cell analyser for the on-line measurement of flue oxygen. The method employed was BS EN 14789. The analyser was calibrated using a standard reference gas in the laboratory before and after the site visit, and with nitrogen “zero” gas and air at the start and end of each day’s testing on site. It was assumed that calibration linearity was maintained during sampling, and the post checks indicated that this was the case. The output of the analyser was continuously recorded using a Grant 'Squirrel' data logger. 2.7 Moisture A flue gas sample was extracted and filtered. The gas sample was then passed through an absorption medium to collect any water vapour. The method employed was BS EN 14790.

JB/DEM0909/15.03.15 /Page8

Flue gas moisture was determined gravimetrically by weighing the absorption medium and final gas drier prior to and following the test. This was carried out alongside testing for hydrogen chloride. 2.8 Temperature Flue gas temperature was measured by the use of a calibrated Type K thermocouple. The method employed was BS EN 13284 Part 1. The flue gas temperature was continuously recorded using a Grant 'Squirrel' data logger. 2.9 Velocity and Volumetric Flow Flue gas velocity was found from inserting a calibrated s-type pitot tube into the flue. The pitot head pressure was then measured using a calibrated electronic manometer. The method employed was BS EN 13284 Part 1. The electronic manometer output was continuously recorded using a Grant 'Squirrel' data logger. Flue gas velocity was then calculated from Bernoulli's equation as the density of the flue gas was known (from measurements of flue gas moisture and temperature). Flue gas volumetric flow rate was found from the measurement of the flue duct size and hence its area and corrected to normalised conditions (again from measurements of flue gas moisture and temperature).

4. COMMENTS The results obtained from this monitoring test work show compliance with the requirements given in Process Guidance Note PG5/2 (2012) for the cremators and abatement system. The cremators and flue gas clean up system operated satisfactorily during testing without any failure or alarm events. No unusual charges were cremated during these tests. They were of all standard materials. No visible chimney emissions, other than the expected steam plume during pre-heat, were observed throughout the test work. PG5/2 (2012) states that the continuous emission monitors (CEMs) should be periodically checked (calibrated) to ensure that the readings being reported are correct. The CEM’s on site are regularly maintained, checked and calibrated in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations, and were functional at the time of the tests. The PCME particulate monitor primarily functions as a filter leak detector rather than being calibrated to give qualitative results. This instrument is more than capable of satisfying this function. Limited similarity of carbon monoxide emissions was evident although levels were low throughout these tests therefore supplying insufficient data for an effective comparison. 5. QUALITY CONTROL All the tests performed were carried out to the methods given in the appropriate listed Standards using calibrated equipment. The gas analyser was calibrated prior to use using suitable calibration gases. Analysis of the absorber solutions was carried out at an external UKAS laboratory following UKAS approved analysis methods. For this test work the following external laboratory was used for the given determination: Scientific Analysis Laboratories (SAL) } Hydrogen Chloride Mercury

Explanation of Data Logs

Data is taken from a Grant Squirrel data logger. Time is from logger clock. Flue Gas Temp is direct from test flue thermocouple. Meter Temp is direct from gas meter. (The stated meter temperature is that of the sampled gas at the meter, and is not the room ambient temperature. The temperature always increases during a test due to the heat gain from the sample pump that is contained in an enclosed box along with the gas meter, and this is quite normal). Flue O2 is from the Siemens Ultramat 23 analyser. CO is from the Siemens Ultramat 23 analyser. TOC is from the Signal 3030PM FID analyser expressed as carbon equivalent. Sample Point Pa is from the pitot tube to a Furness Controls FCO12 electronic manometer. The room temperature was typically 20°C, and there were no issues with the analysers overheating. Functional and calibration checks at the start and end of each test confirmed correct operation of the analysers. All values in the tables are corrected to the reference conditions of 273K, 101.3kPa, 11%v/v oxygen and dry gas as given in PG5/2(12) where required.
