Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system for burning off and burning explosives such as explosives, propellant powder, rocket fuels, igniters, igniters and pyrotechnic substances, propellants and objects associated therewith, and a method for operating this system.
  • explosives such as explosives, propellant powder, rocket fuels, igniters, igniters and pyrotechnic substances, propellants and objects associated therewith, and a method for operating this system.
  • 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 resulting waste products.
  • 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. Insofar as the term "burning” is used in the following, this should always also include “burning”.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a system for burning off explosives, propellants and objects afflicted with them, while observing and complying with the applicable regulations and while maintaining the character of an open fire place for the fire site an environmentally friendly and environmentally friendly destruction of explosives enables a safe and economical way.
  • a system for burning off and burning explosives, propellants and objects afflicted therewith which is characterized by a security building 1 provided with a partially open construction discharge wall 2, a fire site 3 formed therein as a fixed fire place, a plurality of portable explosive carriers 5, a loading station 4 for the explosive carriers separated from the fire site 3 by a safety device, one downstream of the fire site 3 by a safety device from this separate cooling zone 19 for the explosive carriers, a device downstream of the cooling zone and preceding the loading zone 4 for emptying and cleaning the explosive carriers, a device for extracting the exhaust gases produced during combustion and an associated device for cleaning the exhaust gases.
  • Advantageous further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims 2 to 13.
  • the present invention furthermore relates to a method for operating the system according to the invention explained above, in which the explosives to be burned and the objects afflicted with them are successively transported in parts to the fire site, ignited and burned there, the combustion exhaust gases are sucked off and the impurities contained therein are removed and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner and the cleaned exhaust gases are discharged into the atmosphere.
  • the process is preferably carried out in such a way that the exhaust gases are subjected to post-combustion before the cleaning is carried out and the ashes obtained are disposed of.
  • Another preferred embodiment of this method is that the exhaust gas flow is connected to a fresh air source 33 and the volume flow of exhaust gas and fresh air is controlled so that it has a constant value for all operating conditions.
  • the system and the method used to operate the system according to the invention ensure that all the advantages of the closed combustion of explosives in a fluidized bed or in furnaces, in particular in rotary kilns, namely the detection of the pollutants occurring, in particular the cleaning the exhaust gases generated during combustion, in conjunction with the particularly simple, inexpensive and very safe type of combustion outdoors, ie in an open fire place, can be achieved, so that it is now possible to carry out the combustion of explosives of all kinds in an environmentally friendly manner.
  • the security building 1 is provided with the partially open construction discharge wall 2, so that for the fire site 3 the character of a open fire place is preserved.
  • the arrangement and design can be made, for example, so that a sufficiently high open slot is present over the entire length of the outlet wall 2 between the latter and the roof, not shown, and the roof projects so far beyond the outlet wall that it is ensured that the interior of the building is against Weather influences are protected. 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 quantities on explosive carriers 5, preferably tubs made of steel, and transported there by the circulating transport device 6 to the fire site 3.
  • the explosive carriers 5 preferably pass individually 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 additional 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. After closing the door 9, the explosive located on the explosive carriers 5 is ignited and burned off by means of preferably remote-controlled burners or the like, not shown, or the like.
  • the hood 11 is preferably arranged for collecting and extracting the exhaust gases released during the combustion. This is connected to the exhaust gas afterburner 13 via the exhaust pipe 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 explosive carrier 5 is transported into the cooling area 19, passing the remote-controlled security door 18, where the explosive carrier 5 is cooled, if necessary, by spraying with cooling water or air on the underside.
  • the explosive carrier 5 then passes the further security door 20 to the emptying area 21, where the combustion residues remaining in the explosive carrier 5 are emptied into the container 22.
  • the cleaning device 23 the explosive carrier 5 is cleanly cleaned 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 explosive carriers 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 Explosive carrier 5, which allows loading and burning of explosive in a relatively dense sequence.
  • the cycle time to the Burning 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 now an open Fire place with conditioned conditions has become.
  • the hood 11 is designed such that there are preferably several explosive carriers 5 in its area at the same time. In coordination with the selected cycle time, it can be achieved that there is at least one currently in the process of being burned out, one in full fire and one in the process of being burned in the area of the extractor hood 11, thereby equalizing the amount of combustion gas.
  • an arrangement and design can also be made independently of this in such a way that there are only a few explosive carriers 5 in the individual areas, particularly preferably only one single explosive carrier 5 at the fire site 3.
  • the extractor hood 11 extends sufficiently far laterally beyond the explosive carrier 5 and also relatively far down to the explosive carrier 5, so that a reliable detection of all exhaust gases by the extractor hood 11, but also sufficient access to 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 explosive carriers 5 are arranged on the circulation transport device 6, the explosive carriers 5 preferably being transported individually to the fire site 3.
  • the chimney or exhaust hood 11 is arranged, which is preferably connected to the afterburning furnace 13 via the line 14. This is provided on its underside for the removal of ash with the flap 32.
  • the afterburning furnace 13 is connected to the exhaust gas cleaning device or 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.
  • the scrubber 15 is supplied near its lower end via line 34 with fresh water and, via line 35, tap water provided with excretions from the exhaust gas and fed to 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 washer 15 from the container 38 via the line 37 and is mixed with fresh water at several different level heights and sprayed into the washer 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 also monitored by means of the line 49 on the one hand and with the Pump 39, on the other hand, connected to a signaling control device 45 controlled 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 post-combustion 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) in order to improve the economy.
  • the entire system is preferably provided with a video device, in particular for monitoring the burning process, so that it is possible at any time to intervene in the operating sequence in the desired or required manner.
