Aquamation works:
"Aquamation", commonly known as Alkaline Hydrolysis is a gentle and more responsible alternative in pet cremation. It allows you to honor the loss of your companion without harming the environment. It uses a water-based alkaline solution instead of flame. Aquamation is similar to that of Mother Nature when compared to high temperature flame based pet cremation. With Aquamation, your pet is placed in a private stainless steel cradle, which is then lowered in a stainless steel vessel. A gentle flow of warm water combined with alkali is used to accelerate the natural process of tissue hydrolysis. At the end of the process, the only solids remaining are the mineral deposits of the bone. While heat is used to accelerate the process, the temperature is below the boiling point of water (which is 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Celsius.) The Aquamation hydrolysis alkaline process uses alkali, which is the chemical opposite of an acid. The alkaline hydrolysis process uses 95% water and 5% alkali. The alkali used in this process are the same alkali used in common cosmetic products, body washes, shaving creams and even food preparation. At the end of the process, the chemical has been completely used and no longer remains in the water solution. The end result is a completely sterile solution of amino acids, sugars, nutrients, salts and soap in a water solution. Which can then be safely flush back into the sewer system or used as a 100% natural organic fertilizer for crops, flowers, fruits, vegetable, yards, Etc....
Differences between Aquamation and traditional flame-based pet cremation:
The impact on the environment is dramatically different between flame based pet cremation and Aquamation:
• In flame based pet cremation, the first pet cremation of the day, even a small animal like a cat, can consume up to 2 million BTU´s of energy. This is equivalent to the energy required to heat an average home for almost 3 days in the middle of a very cold winter day (-15 C) for example assuming an average hourly consumption of 30,000 BTU´s
• Low temperature alkaline hydrolysis (Aquamation) systems exhibit 1/10 the carbon footprint of a flame based pet cremation system. This is a dramatic difference. To put this into perspective, this would be the equivalent of running your household dishwasher once.
• With Aquamation, there is no smoke stack emission (fly-ash particulate pollution) nor any hydrocarbon emissions that can come from plastic bags and other synthetic items like collars, toys and blankets that are often burned with the pets. Therefore, people living in the vicinity of the Aquamation process are not negatively impacted by the accumulation of ash residues or breathing harmful compounds common to flame based pet cremation systems.
