Alkaline Hydrolysis / Tissue Digester

What is Alkaline Hydrolysis?

Alkaline hydrolysis (AH) is the process used to sterilize and reduce tissue wastes. Our AH systems create the ideal environment for this process to occur through system design, water flow, heat, and alkalinity. The result is a sterile solution of amino acids, small peptides, sugars, nutrients, and soap, along with the inorganic minerals of the bones and teeth (calcium phosphate).

Benefits:

  • Easy installation into an existing facility.
  • Clean Operation.
  • Easy Validation.
  • Increases Biosecurity.
  • Decreases Liability.
  • Any size.
  • Steam or electric.
  • High or low temp.

A Clean Technology

  • No smoke, burning, rebricking, or emissions.
  • No EPA Air Quality permits.
  • Destruction of cytotoxic drugs and euthanasia chemicals.

Biosecurity Delivered

  • No transporting of mortalities to third-party disposers.
  • No aerosolizing or spreading of airborne diseases.
  • Thorough treatment of all material.
  • Complete pathogen kill and prion inactivation .

A Easy Solution

  • Quick, sanitary, on-site management.
  • Load the machine, start the cycle, and the process is complete in less than 1 day.
  • Easy to use and cost-effective.
  • Affordable and reliable.

 

  • Available in low temperature (~93-98°C/200-208F°) and high temperature (150°C/302°F) versions.
  • Both versions produce the same end product: 100% sterile, and free of prion proteins (MALDI-TOF and Amino Acid Assay confirmed).
  • High-temperature versions operate at 4 bar pressure and produce shorter cycle times (2 or more cycles per day).
  • Low-temperature versions operate at atmospheric pressure but require longer cycle times (1-2 cycles per day depending on system size).
  • Low-temperature systems represent a tremendous advantage in equipment life, safety, equipment costs, operation costs, and sustainability.
  • Steam or electrically heated.
  • A wide variety of sizes is available, ranging from 65 to 10,000lb (30 to 4,500kg) in capacity.
  • Containment systems with pass-through capability are available.
  • Combination EDS/Alkaline Hydrolysis systems are available.
  • Can be easily integrated into modular labs or mobile systems.
  • All systems feature Bio-Response’s exclusively superior propeller agitation, no agitation pumps, and no troublesome submerged seals — making these systems a joy to own, operate, and maintain over the long haul.
  • We ship more alkaline hydrolysis systems than all other manufacturers combined.
