TTCDP Operations
M77 Grenade Thermal Treatment Closed Disposal Process (TTCDP) - Automated operations to dismantle the grenade - Thermally treats energetics in the grenades and fuses - Results in empty grenade bodies and copper cones for scrap recycling - Design processing rate of 2,300 grenades per hour
The TTCDP consists of the following Stations: • Shear Off Station • Grenade Inverting Station • Press Station • Copper Cone Removal Station • Grenade Transfer Device • Grenade Ignition Station • Explosive Inspection Station • Off Gas Treatment • Scrap Collection

Grenade Ignition
Grenade Ignition Station • Grenade ignition is done by electric
heated coils that are moved into the grenades.
• A set of 9 grenades is ignited simultaneously
• The off gasses are processed through a HEPA filtration system

Why OB/OD?
OB and OD will continue to be required for certain munitions and situations:
1. Some munitions items are too large for closed disposal systems
2. Many older/larger munitions were not manufactured in a manner that facilitates disassembly for treatment of individual components
3. Some explosive compounds and munitions may be too unstable for transport
4. Some disposal alternatives do not provide sufficient worker safety

Summary
Alabama strongly supports alternatives to OB/OD and continues to collaborate with the DoD on permitting alternative treatment technologies as they are identified and developed. Alabama recognized that OB/OD will continue to be necessary for use in some circumstances where alternative technology is not available or is impracticable, and has developed permitting requirements to ensure protection of human health and the environment.
