The unit by Resomation Ltd is billed as a green alternative to cremation and works by dissolving the body in heated alkaline water.
The makers claim the process produces a third less greenhouse gas than cremation, uses a seventh of the energy, and allows for the complete separation of dental amalgam for safe disposal.
Mercury from amalgam vaporised in crematoria is blamed for up to 16% of UK airborne mercury emissions, and many UK crematoria are currently fitting mercury filtration systems to meet reduced emission targets.
Body tissue is dissolved and the liquid poured into the municipal water system.
Mr Sullivan,
a biochemist by training,
says tests have proven the effluent is sterile and contains no DNA,
and poses no environmental risk.
