The breakthrough technology of Water Resolution™ delivers an environmentally
responsible alternative to cremation. Now, adjustments to the vessel design bring the price in line with a retort while preserving Water Resolution’s clear-cut advantages over cremation. 

Water Resolution, from BioSAFE Engineering, accelerates the natural decomposition process through alkaline hydrolysis, sympathetically producing a natural, contaminant-free by-product and returning the body to ash. Unlike cremation, an individual body is gently placed in a standard, sanitary, nonporous vessel, preventing any commingling of residual remains. The completely automated process, operated by a single button, then utilizes a combination of water pressure, high temperature and alkalinity to accelerate the natural course of tissue hydrolysis. 

“While embracing the superior features of the Water Resolution process, we recognize that a competitive price is an equally compelling feature,” observes Brad Crain, CEO of BioSAFE.  “In preparing for our product launch, we were able to finetune the Water  Resolution design to reduce the cost while maintaining its many benefits.” 

There are significant advantages to choosing Water Resolution as an alternative to cremation, because of its environmental component as well as its measurable cost savings.
 

As the eco-responsible choice, Water Resolution:

• Creates no air pollution and emits no greenhouse gases;
• Emits twenty times less CO2 than with a typical cremation;
• Uses only half as much energy  per body as cremation, making it the energy-efficient option;
• Neutralizes embalming fluid and  cytotoxins, protecting soil and water;
• Results in organic elements safely released to the ecosystem.

While Water Resolution provides responsible stewardship of the environment, its economic conservation is an important factor, too.

• Operation and maintenance costs are less expensive than cremation.
• By using only half the energy needed for cremation, it both conserves energy and protects against spiraling energy costs.
• The Water Resolution machine requires minimal maintenance and has a lifespan of 20-30 years.
• No air permits are required to operate the Water Resolution process.

Internationally, alkaline hydrolysis has become the standard, replacing incineration, so adapting the technology for use in the United States with human bodies is a breakthrough step. The technology of BioSAFE’s alkaline hydrolysis process is patented in 23 countries for cadavers and used worldwide in laboratory and research applications. U.S.-based research facilities and medical schools, including the prestigious Mayo Clinic, successfully utilize BioSAFE’s innovative technology.

“During my professional career I’ve owned a dozen businesses and have developed an ability to accurately assess a product’s potential,” notes Crain. “Water Resolution will, I predict, have a powerful impact on the way the funeral industry disposes of cadavers.”
