Manufacturing Plants for Industrial and Military Applications
Continuous Plant for the Manufacture of Nitroglycerine
Nitration possibilities
With almost the same basic equipment, the nitration process used in this plant allows not only the production of Nitroglycerine (NG)
but also:
- Ethyleneglycoldinitrate (EGDN) for dynamites,
- Diethyleneglycoldinitrate (DEGN) for propellants,
- Mixtures of any desired ratio of NG and EGDN or of NG and DEGN.
Process
The nitration process is based on the injection by metering pumps of a precise proportion of acid and organic mixtures into a nitrator with a strong stirring.
The process temperature ist automatically controlled by a very large cooling surface. The separation of blasting oil in the separator occurs by gravity without any dangerous mechanical movements.
The washing and neutralization with intermediate and final pH control guaranties an absolutely neutral blasting oil.
