World's First, commercial alkaline hydrolysis centre opens July 2010 in Gold Coast Australia

THE ULTIMATE GREEN/ ECO FUNERAL HAS ARRIVED.

An Australian company has achieved the world's first centre for the revolutionary WATER CREMATION alternative to cremation and burial

THE WORLD'S FIRST AQUAMATION CENTRE HAS OPENED ON THE GOLD COAST IN QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA

August 10, 2010 (MMD Newswire) -- Much has been written about alkaline hydrolysis or Aquamation. However, the industry has settled on Aquamation as the generic term. In future, funeral directors will offer their clients an ABC choice, Aquamation, Burial or Cremation.

This project is the result of an AUSTRALIAN firm based in Melbourne (Aquamation Industries) whose team of engineers and biochemists has fine tuned and simplified the process with a radical new concept. A dramatic improvement from the older type equipment, which used extreme pressure and temperature as in the experimental unit at the Mayo Clinic in the USA.

This new design has cut over a third off the cost of the equipment. The simplified design has made it virtually maintenance free, and is a much safer workplace for operators. Aquamation Industries already have 43 orders for their equipment in Australia, Canada and the USA and will have more than 20 centers operating in Australia within 12 months.

Aquamation Industries have manufacturing facilities in the USA and Queensland. And are currently considering forming a public company

Equipment is currently being manufactured for installation in almost every State in Australia. Many funeral directors have been offering this process to their clients for some months now in anticipation of the Queensland installation. In excess of 60 pre-paid funerals have already nominated Aquamation as their choice for their final journey and if equipment is not already installed in Victoria, SA or NSW when the need arises, these people have chosen to be taken to Queensland for their final journey.

The process has been hailed by environmentalists and governments keen to reduce pollution. This process will eliminate the millions of tons of greenhouse gases and mercury pollution spewed into the atmosphere each year from cremations.

The bones will be returned to the client's family as ashes in the same way that bones are returned as ashes after a cremation.

The facility which is NOW available for use by all funeral directors throughout Australia, and operated by Aquamation Industries is located on the Gold Coast.

Aquamation is a more natural, ethical and environmentally friendly alternative to cremations. It uses water instead of fire to return a body to nature. The process is called Alkaline Hydrolysis which is the same natural way in which a human or animal returns to nature if buried without a coffin in the soil, or placed in a flowing stream of water. The same natural breakdown of tissue occurs with Aquamation, just at a faster rate.

Marketing Director, Mark Bishop said that Aquamation Industries is clearly the world leader in alkaline-hydrolysis equipment . With a radical new approach, that will leave the funeral industry wondering what happened, that so many big players have been left behind. With a small Melbourne firm responsible for introduvcing this equipment to the world, and a small family run crematorium having the foresight to be the leaders in installing it in their facility.
