Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for the destruction of explosives such as explosives, propellant powder, rocket fuels, igniters, igniters and pyrotechnic substances as well as objects with explosives by open burning or burning.
  • explosives such as explosives, propellant powder, rocket fuels, igniters, igniters and pyrotechnic substances as well as objects with explosives by open burning or burning.
  • Destruction by chemical means is only possible to a limited extent and involves a relatively large amount of effort, in particular for the disposal of the waste products obtained in the process.
  • When destroyed by blasting there are relatively large environmental impacts from noise and, above all, this type of destruction is associated with considerable risks.
  • In the preferred and most widespread manner of destroying explosives, propellants, rocket propellants or the like, as well as equipment, tools, etc. contaminated with them by burning or burning it is known to carry them out in furnaces or outdoors.
  • the destruction of explosives by fire can be either without the aid of a fuel, ie burning, as well as with the aid of a fuel, i.e. burning.
  • burning is used in the following, this should always also include “burning”.
  • the burning of explosives outdoors i.e. in an open fire place, which is also permissible according to the valid guidelines of the professional association, enables their economical disposal even in small and very small quantities, whereby expensive devices can advantageously be dispensed with, as well as the need for special preparation the explosives, for example in a meterable slurry, is not present.
  • the explosive Separating species, as well as the other relevant provisions such as determining the quantities per fire and area, maintaining certain safety distances between several fire places of a fire place and between it and systems, buildings, houses, traffic routes etc. inside and outside the company premises, results here in batches Business. This enables optimal adaptation to the type, quantity and preparation of the explosives to be destroyed. Batch-based combustion therefore allows extraordinary flexibility in handling explosives and offers a high degree of handling safety. In particular, batch-wise combustion enables economical and simple destruction of explosives that cannot be handled without danger.
  • the invention therefore makes it its task to provide a method and a device which, while observing and complying with the applicable regulations and while maintaining the character of an open fire place for the fire site, is an environmentally friendly and environmentally friendly destruction of explosives on safe and enables economical way.
  • the security building 1 is provided with the partially open construction discharge wall 2, so that the character of an open fire place is preserved for the fire site 3.
  • the order and training can for example be such that there is a sufficiently high open slot along the entire length of the outlet wall 2 between this and the roof, not shown, and the roof protrudes so far beyond the outlet wall that it is ensured that the interior of the building is protected against the weather is. Numerous other embodiments are conceivable.
  • the explosive to be destroyed for example a rocket propellant, is placed in the area of the covered feed 4 in suitable and permissible partial quantities onto the tubs 5, which are preferably made of steel, and is transported there to the fire site 3 by the circulation transport device 6.
  • the troughs 5 loaded with explosive individually pass through the security door 7, which can be operated by remote control, and first reach the standby position 8, from where, after the door 7 has been closed and the further security door 9 has been opened, which thus form a lock with one another, through the remote-controlled operating device , namely the hydraulic cylinder 10 of the fire site 3 are supplied.
  • the explosive located on the tub 5 is ignited and burned off by means of remote-controlled burners or the like, not shown.
  • the hood 11 for collecting and extracting the exhaust gases released during combustion is arranged, which is connected to the exhaust gas afterburner 13 via the exhaust line 12. Via the pipe 14, this is connected to the scrubber 15, which in turn is connected to the exhaust stack 17 via the fan 16.
  • the fan 16 could be arranged in front of the scrubber 15 in the line 14 and an exhaust connection or the like could be fitted on the scrubber 15.
  • the trough 5 is transported into the cooling area 19, passing the remote-controlled security door 18, where the trough 5 is cooled, if necessary, by spraying with cooling water or air on the underside.
  • the trough 5 then passes the further security door 20 to the emptying area 21, where the combustion residues remaining in the trough 5 are emptied into the container 22.
  • the trough 5 is cleaned cleanly with the cleaning device 23 and then returned to the loading area 4 for refilling by means of the circulation transport device 6, passing through the opening 25 provided in the partition 24.
  • a large number of trays 5 are arranged on the circulating transport device 6 and there are several each in the loading area 4, at the fire site 3, the cooling area 19 and the emptying and cleaning areas 21 and 23 Troughs 5, which allows loading and burning of explosive in relatively close succession.
  • the cycle time to the burn time can be achieved that a quasi-continuous process takes place.
  • the power of the energy and flue gas release can be regulated, so that from the conventional open fire place with more or less uncontrolled flue gas and energy release by the measures according to the invention an open one Fire place with conditioned conditions has become.
  • the hood 11 is designed in such a way that there are several trays 5 in its area at the same time. In coordination with the selected cycle time, it can be achieved that at least one is in the process of being burned out, one is in full fire and one is in the process of being burnt in the area of the hood 11, thereby achieving a more uniform combustion gas quantity.
  • an arrangement and design can also be made independently of this in such a way that there are only a few troughs 5 in the individual areas, in particular only one single trough 5 at the fire site 3, for example.
  • the hood 11 extends sufficiently far laterally beyond the troughs 5 and also relatively far down to the troughs 5, so that a reliable detection of all the exhaust gases by the hood 11 but also sufficient access of the items required for the combustion Atmospheric oxygen is ensured.
  • the height or the volume of the hood 11 is of course chosen so that it can safely absorb the released volume of exhaust gas when burning any kind of explosives.
  • the tubs 5 are arranged on the circulation transport device 6.
  • the stove or exhaust hood 11 is arranged, which is connected via line 12 to the afterburner 13, which is provided on its underside for the removal of ash with the flap 32.
  • the afterburner 13 is connected to the scrubber 15 via the line 14.
  • the automatically regulated fresh air flap 33 is installed between the afterburning chamber 13 and the scrubber 15, so that the volume flow of exhaust gas and fresh air is constant for all operating conditions. This has the advantage of minimal energy costs for the afterburning chamber in the case of discontinuous operation, optimal conditions on the scrubber as a result of constant exhaust gas flow and low susceptibility to faults, since the fan 16 does not need to be regulated.
  • the scrubber 15 is supplied near its lower end via the line 34 with fresh water and, via line 35, tap water provided with excretions from the exhaust gas and fed into the settling tank 31, from which the settled sludge can be removed via the flap 36 located at the lower end.
  • a neutralizing agent for example sodium hydroxide solution, is fed to the scrubber 15 from the container 38 via the line 37 and is mixed with fresh water at several different level heights and sprayed into the scrubber 15 via the pump 40 arranged in the line 49.
  • the exhaust gas freed from the impurities still present is removed from the scrubber 15 at its upper end via the line 41 and, via the fan 16, to the exhaust gas chimney 17 near its lower end and discharged into the atmosphere via its upper end.
  • the temperatures in the lines 12, 14 and 41 are monitored by means of the control devices 42, 43 and 44, and the pH value of the washing liquid sprayed into the washer is monitored by means of the line 49 on the one hand and with the Pump 39, on the other hand, is connected to the control device 45, which is provided with a signal transmitter, is regulated in the required manner.
  • the liquid levels in the scrubber 15, in the settling tank 31 and in the sodium hydroxide tank 38 are also monitored and regulated by means of the level controllers 46, 47 and 48, which are again provided with signal transmitters if necessary.
  • the ash removed from the afterburning furnace 13 and the sludge removed from the settling tank 31, as well as the washing water discharged from the settling tank 31 via line 50, must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable regulations.
  • the system can be equipped with a waste heat recovery device (not shown) for the purpose of improving economy.
  • the entire system is expediently provided with a video device for monitoring the burning process, so that it is possible at any time to intervene in the operating procedure in the desired or required manner.
