From page 56... ... The effluent, if defined as hazardous waste, is managed in accordance with state and federal requirements and the system is prepared for the next munition. The EDS, shown graphically in Figure 1-1, includes the following major components: � the trailer on which the entire system is mounted � the explosive containment vessel that contains the blast, fragments, and chemicals � the explosive accessing system that cuts the munition with a linear shaped charge and attacks the burster with two conical shaped charges � the fragment suppression system that protects the containment vessel from high-velocity fragments � the firing system that fires the detonators on the shaped charges � the chemical storage and feed system that supplies reagents and water to the containment vessel � the waste handling system that drains the treated effluent and vents vapors from the containment vessel (includes vapor sampling and carbon filtration of effluent vapors) Read the entire page →
From page 57... ... EXPLOSIVE CONTAINMENT VESSEL The purpose of the explosive containment vessel is, first, to contain the explosive shock, fragments, and chemical agent during the munition opening process and then to serve as a process vessel for the subsequent chemical treatment of the agent. The 189-liter cylindrical vessel and door were fabricated from two 316 stainless steel forgings. Read the entire page →
From page 58... ... Liquid effluent is collected in the drums, while gaseous overpressure is vented through a silica gel/ASZM-TEDA carbon filter. The waste handling system includes secondary spill containment for the drums, scales to measure liquid content, and pressure relief rupture disks. Read the entire page →
