Low-Emission Thermal Processing of Munitions Constituents: Safe Operating Procedure for Propane-Fueled MPPEH Flashing Unit
Abstract
This report explains how to safely operate the propane fueled burner at Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) China Lakes Mini Deck facility. The operational procedures will be the same for demonstration at Indian Heads Caffee Road Thermal Decontamination Area (CRTDA), though some specifics such as the fuel tank, points of contact, emergency contacts, and specific safety procedures set by CRTDA will differ. Fire Science has designed and built a large, modular, propane fueled burner designed to thermally decontaminate largescale MPPEH (material potentially presenting an explosive hazard). Testing of this device will be performed at China Lakes Mini Deck facility in order to demonstrate that the technology can meet the requirements for large scale MPPEH thermal decontamination (i.e., safety flashing) and also to understand the energy and costs savings of this technology.
