How Does the Process Work?
The individual corpse contained in a dissolvable coffin is placed into a horizontal stainless steel pressure vessel and the door is closed. The operator simply presses a single button on the touch screen to begin the fully automated process. The integral load cells weigh the body and the appropriate amount of water and alkali are added automatically to the vessel. The vessel is quickly heated via steam to around 150˚C (~300˚F) and the body will be resolved into its component elements.
The entire process is complete in 2-3 hours. The size of the body is not a critical factor as the largest body will be resolved in the same time as the smallest. All embalming fluid is neutralized into a harmless chemical compound.
