Dry Ice Blasting From Glacier Blast

What is dry ice blasting?  

Dry ice blasting is the use of solid CO2 (carbon dioxide) pellets accelerated by compressed air to clean or strip industrial  equipment, machinery, tanks, facilities etc. of unwanted contaminates. Dry ice pellets impact the surface and expand instantly into a gaseous state hundreds of times greater than their original solid volume, creating tiny explosions on the surface being cleaned. The tiny explosions, velocity and impact of the dry ice pellets (kinetic energy) and thermal shock (dry ice is -109 F) are the forces that remove the unwanted contaminates.

What are the disadvantages of conventional industrial cleaning methods?

Cleaning chemicals and solutions pose environmental hazards to employees and the environment.  When used they leave behind a secondary waste stream, rags, absorbent pads, used solution and/or chemicals etc., which in many cases increases the volume of hazardous waste that is subject to costly disposal fees and transportation costs. If the chemicals and/or solutions are not properly cleaned up they can cause unwanted corrosion and rot, increasing damage and long term maintenance costs.

High pressure water blasting leaves behind  a secondary waste stream which in many cases increases the volume of hazardous waste that is subject to costly disposal fees and transportation costs.  Water gets left in electrical components, equipment and machinery.  If the water is not properly removed it will cause unwanted corrosion and rot, increasing damage and long term maintenance costs.

Soda blasting leaves behind a secondary waste stream which in many cases increases the volume of hazardous waste that is subject to costly disposal fees and transportation costs. It leaves water and soda behind, if not properly removed will cause unwanted corrosion and rot, increasing damage and long term maintenance costs.

Sand blasting leaves behind a secondary waste stream which in many cases increases the volume of hazardous waste that is subject to costly disposal fees and transportation costs.  It leaves behind an abrasive blast media which if not cleaned up properly continues to cause damage in electrical components, gears, bearings etc.  It continues to fall from horizontal surfaces, cracks and beams years after the job is done, increasing cleanup, damage and long term maintenance costs.

What are the advantages of industrial cleaning by dry ice blasting?

Dry ice blasting is the ultimate industrial cleaning process, it leaves no secondary waste stream, no abrasive blast media, no water, no corrosive cleaning solutions or chemicals to get into critical areas.  Dry ice blasting has no negative long term effect on maintenance.  Dry ice blasting minimizes disposal fees and transportation costs.

Dry ice blasting is safe and environmentally friendly.  Dry ice passes from a solid state to a gaseous state, it has no liquid state.  Dry ice is pure CO2 in its solid state, it is in a gaseous state in the air around us.  When we inhale our bodies use the oxygen and we exhale CO2. Green plants take CO2 from the air and give off oxygen.

Dry ice blasting is non-toxic, non-conductive, non-corrosive and there is no employee exposure to hazardous cleaning chemicals or solutions.  Dry ice blasting sterilizes as it cleans, dry ice is -109 F, the extreme temperature kills germs and bacteria.  Dry ice blasting meets the guidelines of the USDA, EPA, and the FDA.

PRESS OF DANDO COMPANY PHILADELPHIA Copyright, 1911 E. I. du Pont de Nemours Powder Co. Wilmington, Del. Foreword LTHOUGH the explosive itself very naturally demands first consideration when blasting is to be done, the fact must not be overlooked that it cannot be properly exploded without certain materials and appliances especially designed for the purpose, and which are commonly known as Blasting Supplies. In addition to those articles necessary to develop the energy of a charge of explosives, there are other devices which, although they may not be absolutely requisite, contribute to safety, certainty and economy in the use of explosives, and these are also included in the category of Blasting Supplies. The importance of keeping Blasting Supplies up to the highest standard in every respect cannot be over- estimated, for the very best grade costs but a trifle in comparison with the charge of explosives with which they are used. It is poor economy to attempt to deto- nate explosives with an inferior article, for this always results in a considerable waste of the value of the explos- ives. More than a hundred years experience in the manufacture, sale and use of all kinds of explosives has taught us that the popularity of our products depends entirely on the results which consumers have with them. With this in view, we must, from a standpoint of good business, if from no other, recommend only a high quality of Blasting Supplies.251752 INDEX ADVANTAGES OF STRONG DETONATORS - 85 BLASTING BY ELECTRICITY - - - . . 5 BLASTING CAPS - - . - . - - 63 BLASTING MACHINES - . - . 29 BLASTING MATS - ... - - 82 BLASTING SUPPLIES AND THEIR USE - ... 1 CAP CRIMPERS - . . . - . .

They consist of a copper capsule, or shell, containing a detonating charge surrounding a fine platinum bridge, which joins the tips of two insulated copper wires of various lengths. The ends of the copper wires are secured in the copper shell by a composition plug, which also serves to keep moisture and water away from the charge. The Electric Fuzes . electric fuze is detonated when sufficient current is passed through the 5 copper wires, and across the ill platinum bridge, to heat the lat

Rock Blasting $103.56 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rock blasting is the controlled use of explosives (or other methods such as gas pressure pyrotechnics or plasma processess) to excavate, break down or remove rock. It is practised most often in mining, quarrying and civil engineering such as dam construction. The use of explosives in mining goes back to the year 1627, when gunpowder was first used in place of mechanical tools in the Hungarian (now Slovakian) town of Bansk tiavnica. The innovation spread quickly throughout Europe and the Americas. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Various blasthole priming techniques are described. Blasthole loading of various explosive types is covered. Blast design, including geologic considerations, for both surface and underground blasting is detailed. Environmental effects of blasting such as flyrock and air and ground vibrations are discussed along with techniques of measuring and alleviating these undesirable side effects. Blasting safety procedures are detailed in the chronological order of the blasting process. The various Federal blasting regulations are enumerated along with their Code of Federal Regulations citations. An extensive glossary of blasting related terms is included along with references to articles providing more detailed information on the aforementioned items.
