CNI Drum Burning Tests

In addition to key Shell experimental work, controlled drum burning tests have been carried out, their conclusions are that:        

  • 2EHN does not detonate but high pressure (pneumatic) bursting of drum occurs

  • High energy release (2,100 J/g)

  • 200 Litre CNI drum: pneumatic explosion after 12 minutes

  • Heavy pieces thrown up and carried considerable distances – One metallic piece (4.7 kg) thrown 36 m

  • Fire ball formation and high thermal radiation
