In 2007 Resomation Ltd developed an award winning and patented design of an old technology that could for the first time be safely used to routinely and fully resolve a human body commercially to pure white ash. It was designed specifically to be used in a very automated manner ,unattended whilst operating in funeral homes and crematoria and be fast, safe and reliable. The Resomator S750 achieves this.   

Resomation Ltd developed the first commercial High Pressure Alkaline Hydrolysis System as an alternative to cremation and burial in response to a growing public desire for greater choice and increasing environmental awareness.

The deceased person in a special biodegradable enclosure is placed into the Resomator capsule and instead of fire, uses a water and alkali based method at high temperature and pressure – also known as high pressure alkaline hydrolysis to chemically reduce the body rapidly to white ash. The pure white sterile ash is returned to the relatives at the end just as with flame cremation.

Resomation Ltd believes absolutely based on published data that HIGH PRESSURE is needed to ensure pure white sterile ash is produced every time. The totally sealed pressurised chamber during operation ensures that all bones and ultimately ash within the chamber are treated to sterilising temperatures even in the air above the liquid  to guarantee relatives of the deceased only get white sterile ash returned to them from a safety standpoint. As important it is also microbiolgically safe for the operator and surounding environment
