Situation
H-6 (1.1D) explosives contamination was present in bulk and residual form on a Melter/Flaker machine within a building, as well as at fixtures within the building. After review of multiple solutions, the client specified the use of MuniRem® Reagent for safe recovery and neutralization of the bulk explosives to remove the explosion hazard for safe disassembly of all equipment and decontamination of the Bay area building fixtures. The photo below shows the small footprint of MRE’s decontamination set-up next to the building of interest.
Solution
An initial spray application of MuniRem® solution in hallways and the Bay containing the Melter/Flaker machine neutralized H-6 contaminated surfaces and provided safe ingress/egress for staff. The sprayed MuniRem® solution successfully neutralized, soaked, and cleaned loose materials in the Bay. The sprayed walls, ceiling, hood, and all equipment surfaces were rinsed after confirmation of complete explosives neutralization and destruction. Applied MuniRem® solution on the floor progressively dissolved and destroyed the explosives in cracks during equipment and Bay decontamination.
