The Establishment of a Tri-Service Ammunition Demilitarisation Facility by the UK Ministry of Defence

Abstract

The advent of more stringent environmental legislation and the loss of Crown Immunity from such legislation has forced the Ministry of Defence to adopt a "Green" approach to the demilitarisation of ammunition surpluses. As part of its strategy for the future, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) intends to establish a Tri Service Ammunition Demilitarisation Facility based on rotary kiln incineration technology. This presentation provides an insight into the proposed design of the facility.
