Rostec State Corporation opened a new plant in Tuva to produce components for emulsion explosives. The products are required for drilling and blasting operations and will be supplied to the republic's largest mining companies. The total cost of the project amounted to more than 400 million rubles. Its realization is supported by the Ministry of Economic Development and Industry of the Republic of Tyva.
The new production complex will produce non-explosive components for the manufacture of emulsion explosives. The products are used in drilling and blasting operations. The products can be used in wells of any degree of water cut. The explosion is initiated by means of detonators. Non-explosive components of industrial explosives are transported in mixing and charging and delivery machines, which automatically control the depth of charging the well, the mass of the charge and the composition of the mixture depending on the conditions.
"More than 140 mineral deposits have been explored on the territory of Tuva. The annual demand of mining companies for explosives is growing. This is due to the increase in mining volumes and plans to put new deposits - gold, copper, zinc and other valuable minerals - into circulation. Rostec, as a driver of the country's industrial development, is opening new plants that will be able to cover the growing needs of domestic production. In addition, the deployment of the plant will create new jobs. The capacity of the plant will allow to produce more than five thousand tons of emulsion explosives per year, with the possibility of increasing the volume. We are also considering the possibility of exporting explosive products," said Bekkhan Ozdoyev, industrial director of the complex of conventional weapons, ammunition and special chemicals of Rostec State Corporation.
Special technological equipment, as well as a system of quality control of raw materials, final product and process parameters will ensure the safety of production and application. In the future the plant will expand the range of manufactured products - it is planned to produce sulfide-free emulsions of "A" type and sulfide emulsions of "B" type.
Emulsion explosives have significant advantages over traditional TNT explosives. They are more environmentally friendly and provide fewer emissions into the atmosphere.
