HMX Compounded Products:

HMX Compounded Products viz. OCTOL, SOKFOL AND SOMA is manufactured with mixing of TNT

or HMX and wax/polymer/ aluminium powder/graphite in the water medium at a temperature of

90-95 0C . When HMX is coated, the material is cooled, filtered and dried.

2. RDX:

Hexamine is nitrated with Nitric acid and Ammonium nitrate in Acetic acid medium. Acetic Anhydride

absorbs water released during reaction to convert to Acetic acid. The process is similar to HMX

manufacture except the reaction temperatures.

RDX Compounded Products:

RDX and TNT or RDX and wax/polymer are mixed in water at a temperature of 90-95oC when RDX

gets coated, the material is cooled, filtered and dried.

3. TNT Explosives:

TNT is explosives which required for manufacturing of initiating explosives viz. cast booster and

Defence compositions. Toluene is nitrated in two stages to get ONT, DNT and finally Tri nitro Toluene

(TNT) at high temperature. Further processes involves like washing, drying, flaking and finishing.

4. Slurry Emulsion Explosives :

These cartridge shaped explosives vary in size and diameter, depending on the blasting requirement.

These are mostly used in construction sites for building of roads and houses, quarrying, tunnelling,

small mines, underground work and for seismic exploration.

The production of emulsion explosives involves preparation of mother liquor solution made by chiefly

ammonium and sodium nitrate for use in the process is stored in insulated agitation tanks. For making

a batch, a measured quantity of mother liquor solution is transferred in to the mixing blender and

required quantity of fuel ingredients are added apart from emulsifiers. The slurry explosives

manufactured by mixing of ammonium nitrate and calcium nitrate mix apart from fuel like sulphate

and aluminium powder and at the prescribed time set, gaur gum and starch thickening agents are

added which increases the viscosity of the slurry matrix After developing the desired viscosity, the

cross linkers and gassing agents are added. The mix from the batch mixer is taken in to hopper

where it is cartridged in plastic leyflats / BMP tubes and finally packed in fiber board boxes and stored

at magazines for further use/ dispatch.

5. Bulk Emulsion:

These are essentially non explosives systems which are used for large scale blasting operations

where large quantity need to be charged every day viz. Open cast mines of Coal, Iron ore,

Manganese, Lime stone and Zinc among others.

Manufacturing of bulk emulsion process involves major three steps as manufacture of Emulsion

matrix (non explosive), preparation of Gassing agent and mixing of Emulsion matrix and Gassing

agent. The bulk matrix is transported to mining sites through bulk matrix delivery vehicles and

pumped down to the bore holes as per mining strata followed by chemicals mixing wherein it

becomes an explosive.



3.6 Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area of

final product/s, Mode of transport of raw Material and Finished Product.

The water and waste water management describes as below:

Drinking and industrial water requirement of the factory is fulfilled by bore wells /dug wells located

within the factory. Bore well water is treated via softener, RO and DM plants as per process

requirements otherwise fed directly to the process tanks. Water purification units and water coolers

are provided for drinking water in respective process buildings.

In all of the process plants effluent collection tanks have been provided to collect and recycle the

effluent within the plant. The Softener’s and DM plant regeneration waste water and RO reject water

is recycled fully in the plants.

The processes wise effluent treatment plants are located in the factory premises are described below:

3.9.1.1 ETP for Emulsion/Slurry, PETN, Cast Booster effluents:

In the manufacture process of slurry/emulsion explosives, periodic floor washing are necessary. This

gives rise to effluent generation from the process buildings. Effluents streams of all the processes are

connected via RCC/PVC pipe lines to the separate ETP tanks located in the respective plants. The

effluents from utilities area and laboratory are collected in the collections cum equalization tank.

i. Slurry plant effluents:

Effluent is pumped to central collection tank, from where it is pumped to aeration tank and then to

flash mixer where flocculating solution is added to the effluent. Subsequently, effluent is admitted to

flocculation tank. Thereafter, effluent flows to sand filter by gravity. Sludge from the bottom of the

settling tank is taken on sludge drying beds for solar drying. Filtrate of the sludge drying beds is

taken to the collection/equalization tank. Treated effluent allowed pumping for land application.



Ii. Emulsion plant effluent:

The streams of ammonium nitrate rich effluent is collected in the respective process buildings. This is

further taken to ETP through concealed pipes and processed in the vacuum distillation unit for

recovery of distillate water. Both distillate and ccondensate water is recycled in the boiler. Residual

containing mainly ammonium nitrate is used in the process.

iii. PETN Plant effluent:

The PETN plant effluent is collected in the effluent collection tank. The effluent is neutralized by

mixing soda ash solution and send to the main ETP via counseled PVC pipe line. This is then passed

through tube settler and sand filter before sending to UF and RO. Treated water permeates is

recycled and RO reject water is further sent to vacuum distillation units.

iv. PETN Drying & Cast Booster plants effluent:

PETN drying plants and Cast booster plants generating effluents due to wetting of the floor for

maintaining humidity. These waters are collect in the ETP through counseled pipes / network of the

drains.

The entire effluents collected in the dedicated sintex tanks. From where it is transferred to aeration

tank and supernatant send to mixer cum settler where pH is adjusted by addition of MOL/Alum.

Effluent is treated by addition of coagulant and flocculent chemicals followed by sludge separation

and allowed to settle. The settled water from the settler overflows by gravity to the sand filter and

collected in treated water tank. The sludge collected from gravity sand filters and sludge drying beds

packed in the LDPE lined bags and send to CHWTSDF (MEPL) Butibori, Nagpur.

v. COB and Bulk Plant effluent:

The effluents from ammonium nitrate melt storage area and centralized oxidiser blend (COB) and

Bulk emulsion plant are mainly condensate water and floor washing contaminated with ammonium

nitrates. The condensate water is collected in SS collection tank and sending to boiler. Other waste

water is collected separately in a SS tank and recycled for dissolution of solid ammonium nitrate (AN)

and distillate in the ETP vacuum distillation units.

3.9.1.2 ETP for Chemicals plant LA/LS/ASA

The effluent arises from the lead azide, lead styphnate and ASA drying mainly during washing of the

explosives material and floor in the respective process. These effluents contaminated with residual

explosives and specific chemicals used for explosives destruction.Then effluent allowed draining via

counseled stainless steel pipe line to the respective collection tanks of the ETP.

The effluents are treated following the neutralization, settling and RO treatment. The RO treated

water is recycled in the process and rejects water send to the Multi effect evaporation system (MEES)

for distillation. Distillate water from MEES is recovered and sent to the boilers. The residual

concentrated sludge is disposed to CHWTSDF (MEPL) Butibori, Nagpur

3.9.1.3 ETP for SMO, PIBSA & CFB plant

In the manufacture process of SMO, PIBSA the reactors required periodic washing. This washed

water is collected in the oil removals cum collections tank. Then water is pumped to flash mixer where

flocculating solutions are added to the effluent. Subsequently, water flows to sand filter by gravity.

Sludge from the bottom of the settling tank is taken on sludge drying beds for solar drying. Filtrate of

the sludge drying beds is taken back to the collection/ aeration tank. Treated water is further treated



through aeration, clarification, UF and RO treatment in the STP. The treated water is used for

plantation.

3.9.1.4 HMX plant effluent

The effluent from HMX plant is neutralized in the reactor by soda ash and allowed to settle prior to

sending for vacuum distillation unit (VDU). Distilled water is used in the process. Concentrated waste

recovered from VDU is used suitably for dissolution of liquor in the slurry manufacturing process.

Spent acetic acid generated from the process is sold.

3.9.2 Total water balance

Total water requirement for the existing and proposed expansion is estimated to be 753 KLD. Total

water balance is shown in below Table 7 and water balance diagram presented in Figure 4.
