The computer controller will not allow the cremator to be charged unless the
temperature in the secondary chamber reaches 650°C and a two-second residence time
is achieved. Data on residence time, emission levels, furnace pressure and rates of
temperature change are used to continuously check and adjust controls to ensure
maximum efficiency.
A feature of the Newton cremator is a water curtain charging system. This spray
system retards the start of the cremation

• We have used t-tests to determine whether two percentages are different from each other. With each t-test that is done, we incur a probability of a Type I error (rejection of a true
null hypothesis or in other words ‘false positive’). The probability of committing a Type I error is the significance level of the test, which is set to 5%. When doing multiple tests, the
Type I error rate is inflated. We have used the false discovery rate (FDR) method to control the expected proportion

isolation valves have been installed on the disposal lines for use should it
be necessary to remove the disposal line valves for maintenance. An accessible

that at the current rate of accumulation, sludge removal would not be required for
another 11 years.
