Resomation® is an environmentally responsible, flameless, water based "biocremationTM"
process which sympathetically returns the body to its constituent elements. It utilises and advances a naturally occuring alkaline
hydrolysis reaction to rapidly "Bio-cremateTM " the body leaving behind a
pure white bone ash which can be returned to loved ones.The overall process is "patent applied."
Alkaline Hydrolysis takes place in the natural environment when bodies are buried in a shallow grave in the soil. Here,
although the reaction is propagated by soil bacteria, the process is slow taking sometimes years to complete. Resomation® greatly speeds up the process using an alkali/water mixture
and a temperature of around 170 Celcius.Think of it as accelerating natural decomposition.
The biocremationTM process takes place in a Resomator®
What is left after the process?
After Resomation® the body is broken down into 2 constituents. The first of these is an innocuous liquid containing the building
blocks of life - amino acids, small peptides, sugars and salts. This liquid contains no DNA and has no analytically detectable
link to the original body. The second constituent is bone ash'. The ash is pure calcium phosphate and although they maintain
the structure of the bone they are very soft and easily crushed into powder or "ash'. This ash can be returned to relatives
as in cremation.
Is Resomation® a proven
technology?
There are already two similar systems installed in medical schools in the US, one of which is located in a very prestigious
clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Between them they have processed over one thousand bodies to date. Operators of the system
are very happy with the performance of the technology. The question is not does the process
work but rather do you want it to work for you?
