Promession

Promession is a newly developed method funeral by freeze-drying and subsequent composting of the granules.

The terms Promession for the procedure and Promator for the plant have no descriptive meaning, but are made-up words based on the English " Promise" ( promise, promise, hope ).

History

The method is based on the research of the Swedish biologist Susanne Wiigh - Mäsak and has been patented in 36 countries in 2002. The method was further developed under the leadership of Promessa Organic AB in Nösund (Sweden) and made ​​ready for production.

The legal requirements are in some places already given, is authorized by the Authority, Lower Saxony funeral Act of 8 December 2005, as a burial cryogenic treatment, followed by burial in a cemetery in a coffin compostable allow.

Currently it is decided in Sweden on the planning application for a first investment.

Method

The Promession accelerates the decay, ie the conversion of organic to inorganic substances by previous cryotechnical granulating and drying the corpse.

The body is pre-cooled to -18 ° C given in the Promator said device and brought there with liquid nitrogen bath at -196 ° C. The body is then so brittle that tissue and bone can be broken by vibration to a fine, odorless granules. This water is removed by subsequent freeze-drying, so that only left about 30% of initial body weight. Dental fillings, crowns and implants remain intact and are screened out. The granules are then placed in a coffin and buried in compostable about 50 cm depth. Within a period of 6-12 months, both are converted into humus.
