COMPENDIUM OF POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVE
TECHNOLOGIES TO OPEN BURNING AND OPEN
DETONATION OF HAZARDOUS WASTE EXPLOSIVES
As of January 3,2025
EPA 530-R-25-002
-------
This compendium is intended for use by open burning/open detonation (OB/OD) facility owners and operators as a starting point in their literature search for
potential alternatives to the use of OB/OD for the destruction of explosive hazardous waste (e.g., munitions, fireworks, flares). This is not an all-inclusive list
of potentially available technologies, nor does it substitute for an alternative technology evaluation for a specific explosive hazardous waste stream. There are
other technologies that may be considered during the initial literature gathering phase. Additionally, users of this compendium must recognize that (1)
alternative technologies are site- and explosive hazardous waste stream-specific; and (2) there are several criteria, data, and studies that must be assessed and
considered when determining if an alternative technology is safe and available for a specific explosive hazardous waste stream. While a technology may have
been implemented for a particular explosive hazardous waste stream at one facility, it may not be determined to be safe or available for use at another facility
with a larger demilitarization or treatment requirement or a different or similar explosive hazardous waste stream. This compendium includes technologies
that have been implemented as well as those that have not.
Please note, technologies presented in the following tables that were implemented at Department of Defense (DoD) facilities were approved only for use at
the specific facility and for the specific explosive hazardous waste stream. The DoD Explosives Safety Board (DDESB) is required under federal law (10
U.S.C. § 172) to develop, implement, and oversee the DoD explosives safety program. In addition to its oversight and approval authorities, the DDESB is the
recognized explosives safety expert for all of DoD's munitions-related operations including treatment of hazardous waste explosives and munitions. As such,
the DDESB must approve any alternative technology to OB or OD to be used by DoD for a specific explosive hazardous waste stream and at a specific
location.
The compendium is a living document and may be updated in the future as more information or additional potential technologies are identified.
Alternative Technology Compendium—January 3, 2025

-------
The following tables are organized according to the explosive hazardous waste that either has a documented identified technology or an implemented technology.
For the tables, the column header notes are as follows:
Treatment TechnologyA where A = Technology vendor and manufacturer names are included when available in the source documents.
Waste Type may include reference numbers where 12 3 =
1 — Pyrotechnic substance or article containing both an explosive substance and an illuminating, incendiary, tear-producing, or smoke-producing substance. Flares or signals.
2—Propellant explosive substance or other deflagrating explosive substance or article containing such explosive substance.
3 —Secondary detonating explosive substance or black powder article without a means of initiation and without a propelling charge. Typically contains nitroglycerine,
dichloromethane, or nitrodiphenylamine.

Versatile and proven, variants of ESD's Mobile Response Unit©
(MRU) system are widely used for safely decontaminating
explosive contaminated materials, thermal destruction of small
arms ammunition (SAA), and disposal of combustible energetic
contaminated materials.
The system is designed for decontaminating explosives
contaminated material and destruction of SAA by direct heating
for sufficient time and temperature to render the discharged
materials to be inert and safe for general release and recycling
(material documented as safe {MDAS}). The MRU's emissions are
more environmentally-friendly and provide superior control and
reliability versus "open burning".

Unexploded Ordnance (UXO), munitions, and discarded
military munitions (DMM) may be encountered at nearly all
active DoD military installations and former DoD military
installations that have been transfered from DoD control that
had live-fire training, testing ranges, or munitions operating
facilities (e.g., production, demilitarization, research and
development). DoD has transferred many closed installations to
other government agencies or back to the general public. To help
ensure the safe use of properties that are being or have been
transferred from DoD control, a munitions response (clean up) is
often required.
Gradient Technology developed a mobile technology package to
assist with the safe and efficient processing of munitions and
UXO at these sites. The system uses High Pressure Waterjet
Technology to (1) aid in accessing the munitions to determine
whether they pose an explosive hazard; and (2) process those
munitions determined to pose an explosive hazard. The
equipment package includes all of the required tooling, utilities,
control network, and hazardous material collection and
containment equipment to enable safe operations by the site
personnel from remote control locations.

PIKA is always searching for safer, more effective methods of
dealing with the many explosive contaminants and hazards. One
of the processes PIKA has designed and successfully
implemented is the thermal processing of explosives
contaminated structures and equipment by using PIKA's one-of-
kind Thermal Convection System (TCS). The TCS allows PIKA to
remotely desensitize and decontaminate structures and
equipment rendering them safe to demolish, reuse or recycle.

Operations involving (1) removal of munitions and UXO; (2)
remediation of explosive processing buildings; and (3) handling
military live-fire training and test range target debris, often
produce metal parts with explosive residue contamination. Such
material is considered MPPEH and must be managed, inspected,
and processed to avoid its release to the public until it can be
documented as safe (MDAS). EDE's flashing furnace thermally
decontaminates explosives contaminated material so it can be
documented as safe and sent to metal recyclers. Up to 10,000
pounds of contaminated metal can be flashed per hour. The
furnace can be installed in a fixed location or can be trailer
mounted for field applications such as munitions response
actions or in support of munitions operating facilities.

eMACS produces clean separation and retrieval of recyclable
lead and brass providing significant cost recovery, and also
eliminates storage problems while addressing any health and
safety concerns.
The eMACS was designed as a compact, affordable and portable
burner capable of disposing 60 lbs of ammunition per hour.
Current best practice for disposal of pyrotechnics and commercial
explosives is accomplished by incineration. This method consists
of burning small quantities of single-type explosives over a bed of
combustible material, such as wood chips, in a screen covered pit.
The enclosed design of eMACS not only introduces enhanced
safety features during the incineration process, but also ensures
that any particulate released during the burning inside the
chamber is consumed before venting to the outside atmosphere,
thereby addressing environmental concerns.

MuniRem is a portable, versatile chemical that safely neutralizes
and destroys civil and military explosives into non-hazardous
end products. MuniRem reagents also destroy bulk chemical
warfare agents and remediate heavy metals in soil and
groundwater. Applications include demilitarization,
decontamination of explosive-contaminated building fixtures
and equipment, and remediation of explosive-contaminated soil,
sediment, sludge, spent carbon media, and water.
MuniRem products are shipped worldwide in powder form by
road, air, and ocean cargo freight. Information on the types and
applications is available at MuniRem Environmental's website:

Munitions are safely shredded in zero-emissions enclosed tanks
under a water solution of MuniRem reagent, where the
propellant and primer are destroyed upon contact with the
solution of MuniRem®. The by-products are recyclable scrap
metal and nonhazardous wastewater. Another portable model
uses the same process to destroy fireworks and flares.
Sensitive Asset Solution and MuniRem Environmental offer
mobile ammunition destruction equipment as a safe, portable
solution for small arms, fireworks, flares, and similar energetic
materials.
