Alkaline hydrolysis (also called biocremation, resomation, [1] [2] flameless cremation, [3] aquamation [4] or water cremation [5]) is a process for the disposal of human and pet remains using lye and heat; it is alternative to burial, cremation, or sky burial.

A new type of cremation has emerged: hydro cremation. Hydro cremation is accomplished by using hot water and a highly basic additive for the cremation process, as opposed to the traditional flame-based method. Hydro cremation is a process that promises to be more environmentally friendly, but also generates some concern.

Also called water cremation, biocremation, and green cremation, alkaline hydrolysis is an alternative to traditional, flame-based cremation with a distinctly different process using water, alkaline chemicals, and a combination of heat, pressure, and/or agitation.

2024年8月13日 · Water cremation or aquamation is a chemical process more formally called "alkaline hydrolysis." The chemical process uses a solution of 95% water and 5% potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide to reduce a body to components of liquid and bone.

2014年3月4日 · The hydro cremation is an environmentally focused cremation alternative that is both dignified and effective. The process uses 95% water and 5% alkali instead of direct flame and fossil fuels to cremate human remains.

2024年3月12日 · Alkaline hydrolysis—also called water cremation—is an alternative method of disposing of a human body. Because it uses water and lower temperatures than traditional cremation, it produces fewer emissions and is less energy-intensive than traditional cremation.

Water cremation, or alkaline hydrolysis, is a human disposition method where water, heat, and an alkaline solution accelerate tissue breakdown, eventually resulting in dry, fine cremated remains (ashes) which are returned to the family.

Eco-Friendly: Aquamation uses significantly less energy than flame-based cremation, making it a more sustainable option for families concerned about environmental impact.; Gentle and Respectful: The aquamation process is delicate and natural, offering a peaceful and respectful way to say goodbye to your loved one.; Non-Toxic: The process uses water and a natural alkali solution, without ...

2024年3月10日 · Hydro cremation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis, is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional flame cremation and burial, using water and potassium hydroxide to accelerate the natural decomposition process, leading to the body being reduced to bone ash and a sterile liquid.

2019年10月9日 · Alkaline hydrolysis goes by many names, including “water cremation,” to help people understand the process. Instead of a flame-based process that reduces bodies down to bones, alkaline hydrolysis uses a solution of water and …
