 Those explosives which, due to economic reasons, are not suitable for recovery, such as for instance mixtures of explosives, wastes from production, detonators, fuses and other initiating devices, pyrotechnic mixtures, propellants, etc. have to be completely destroyed by blasting or incineration.Meissner has developed an extensive disposal concept for a wide range of applications. Besides of the destruction of explosives and propellants by burning the charges as practised on open burning places, the Meissner technology also comprises the removal of explosive traces from shells and other metal parts by means of thermal treatment in an annealing furnace. Moreover, it covers the disposal of explosive-containing bodies, such as for instance detonators, fuzes, pyrotechnic objects and ammunition of small calibres with and without explosive (weight of explosive up to 200 g per charge), by blasting or annealing in a blasting chamber provided with a scrap metal bed. All waste gases which result from incineration of explosives, the thermal treatment of metal parts contaminated with explosives and the destruction of small calibre ammunition, fuses and other explosives containing small objects in the blasting chamber, are treated in a waste gas purification plant (working without waste water generation) in such a way that the required off-gas values can be kept. |
