MuniRem® › What it treats
Nitroglycerine
What Nitroglycerine is, and how MuniRem® treats it, in plain language.
What it is
Nitroglycerine (NG) is a liquid explosive used in dynamite and double-base formulations. It is very sensitive to shock and can seep from old dynamite, or soak into wood and concrete in old process buildings.
How MuniRem® treats it
MuniRem states its reagent neutralizes nitroglycerine on contact, converting it to non-hazardous wastewater. MuniRem lists NG among explosives it treats in manufacturing clean-up.
- MuniRem solution is sprayed on or mixed with the NG-containing material.
- NG is neutralized on contact.
- The nitrate ester groups are reduced by the sulfur-based reagent.
- An EPA-certified laboratory tests the treated material before any disposal decision.
What it becomes
Non-hazardous wastewater, Nitrogen gas / nitrite, Sulfate.
Where it's found
Old dynamite, NG process buildings, drains and sumps.
