Described is a method of removing explosive agents from the interior of explosive agent filled bodies such as munitions shells. A rotating nozzle is inserted into an opening cut into the shell. Ultra-high pressure fluidjets (i.e. above 40,000 psi) are projected from orifices in the nozzle onto the explosive agent in the shell. Explosive agent and explosive agent laden fluid is contained and carried away from the shell for recycle or disposal.

High pressure washout of explosives agents

Described is a method to recycle laden fluid containing explosives or neutralized chemical agents. For example, the explosive laden fluid is passed through four filtering stages; a clarifier, a filter press, a sand filter and, ultimately, a reverse osmosis device. The feed water to the reverse osmosis device is a saturated solution of explosive or neutralizing chemical agent. The resulting permeate is about 10 ppm of explosive or neutralizing chemical agent.
