Bulk munitions contain agent but no energetics. Therefore, they bypass the explosion-containment room and are conveyed into the upper munitions corridor of the munitions processing building to a bulk drain station.

A robot unloads the shells onto another rotating table called the multipurpose demilitarization machine, where they are milled to cut through burster tube welds, if necessary. Then the burster tubes are removed, and the agent is drained.

For smaller items, it operates at 1,600°F. Contaminated items are conveyed semicontinuously through a charge air lock into the first of three heating zones, each of which has an air-lock door.

The exhaust from the primary chamber goes into a similar, refractory-lined secondary chamber, in which the temperature is maintained at 2,050°F by burning natural gas. Spent decontamination solution is atomized and injected into the second combustion chamber.

Agent dispersion in the air stream is another major safety concern. Avoiding contamination is accomplished by pressure cascading the air flow throughout the plant from areas with low contamination probability through 69 Induced draft blower Demister vessel To common stack areas with increasing contamination probability.

The furnace outlet gases enter a quench tower in which a caustic solution is sprayed. The cooled gases exit into a venturi scrubber where they are again in contact with caustic brine.
