Nitroglycerin and Nitroglycols are produced from the respective alcohols with anhydrous mixed acids by means of the MEISSNER injector process and are used for military purposes (propellants) as well as in the civil explosives industry (dynamite).

MEISSNER injector plants are characterized by on-line mixing of the acids (mixed acid store not necessary), small production quantities in the nitration cycle, dynamic separation of the product from the spent acid, and automatic discharging in case of power outage or shutdown.

Along with the complete injector plant, MEISSNER offers the corresponding equipment for the transport of Nitroglycerin/Nitroglycol (emulsion transport), for the storage (emulsion store), and for the weighing process.

Together with plants for the production of Nitroglycerin and Nitroglycols, MEISSNER as main contractor also offers acid regeneration plants.


MEISSNER also supplies plants for the production of dynamite and propellants.
