The Launch of Bio Cremationby matthewscremation Today, we live in a world that encourages us to protect and preserve our natural resources. We are developing lifestyle trends that encourage behavior to lower the individuals carbon footprint while at the same time reducing greenhouse gases and stabilizing climate change. In addition to lifestyle changes, we must consider what happens at the end of life and that transition back to earth. Environmentally focused end of life practices are growing in popularity and whether its a greener burial or greener cremation, we are all called to play a supportive role within our families and communities.Since we at Matthews launched Bio Cremation (also known as Alkali Hydrolysis), I am always asked what exactly it is? Bio Cremation is an environmentally focused alternative that replaces the use of flame with the utilization of water, blended with an alkali solution of Potassium Hydroxide (KOH ). The Human body is placed into a specially designed cremation chamber where water and alkali are added, heated and gently circulated over the body, initiating the cremation process. The use of Alkali Hydrolysis is a proven technology, newly introduced into funeral service as an environmental alternative to traditional flame cremation. Alkali Hydrolysis uses 95% water and 5% potassium hydroxide (KOH). KOH is an alkali (not acid), inorganic compound that is used in numerous health and beauty cosmetics, soft soaps and cleaning suppl ies you would commonly find at home. This sterile process prevents the release of emissions (carbon monoxide, particulates, mercury). This more eco-friendly process offers distinct environmental advantages even beyond traditional flame cremation.

Mantener eses tres factores en el adecuado alinamiento es critico para la prevencion de los humos y olores, o sea, la polucion. Adicionalmente, el control de eses elementos conducira a un largo camino para la alta eficiencia y para bajos indices de problemas de mantenimiento. La TemperaturaSostener un intervalo apropiado de temperatura opera un papel principal en la operacion adecuada y en la eficiencia del equipo de cremacion. Muchas unidades de cremacion son proyectadas para operar con mayor eficiencia cuando la camara secundaria mantiene la temperatura entre 800 C hasta 1000 C. Arriba o debajo de ese intervalo puede resultar en problemas de polucion no deseados. Por su puesto que usted va preferir la conferencia de las especificaciones con su fabricante para obtener el intervalo mas apropiado de temperatura para su equipo.El TiempoIgualmente importante como la temperatura es el tiempo de retencion. El tiempo de retencion se refiere al tiempo necesario para que los gases sean expuestos a la temperatura adecuada. Eso garantiza la total combustion de los humos y del olor antes de que los gases sean descargados a traves de la chimenea. Las autoridades ambientales en las tres
