MuniRem® › What it treats

HME, e.g. TATP

What HME, e.g. TATP is, and how we evaluate it with MuniRem®.

What it is

HME means homemade explosives. TATP (triacetone triperoxide) is an organic peroxide explosive made from common chemicals. It is extremely sensitive to heat, shock and friction, and is often found in improvised devices or illegal labs.

How MuniRem® treats it

MuniRem lists TATP and organic peroxides among the energetics it treats. Homemade explosives vary widely, so each one is evaluated case by case with a treatability study.

  1. Tell us the material, amount and where it is.
  2. A sample is bench-tested in a treatability study.
  3. An EPA-certified laboratory analyzes the results.
  4. Full-scale work is planned only if the results support it.
This material is evaluated case by case with a treatability study before any full-scale work.

What it becomes

Determined by treatability study.

Every site is different. The dose depends on the material, the amount and the site conditions.
