Understanding Alkaline Hydrolysis:
Alkaline hydrolysis was originally patented in the United States Patent Office by Amos Herbert Hobson of Middlesex, England. His patent No. 394,982 was issued on December 25, 1888.
While Amos was concentrating on the removal of nitrogenous materials from the bones to make a suitable fertilizer and byproducts, he saw the benefits of alkaline hydrolysis as a process to treat animal carcass materials. More importantly, he literally defined the process of low temperature alkaline hydrolysis in great detail. The alkaline hydrolysis process converts animal remains and microbial tissues into a sterile, EPA neutral, water solution suitable for disposal into a sanitary sewer. The process will reduce the body volume and weight by more than 95% and will destroy any and all pathogens. The alkaline hydrolysis process can be completed in a more efficient manner than that of a flame-based process and, it releases no dangerous emissions into the atmosphere. This is a very environmentally friendly process. Its best described as accelerated natural decomposition of a body.
