Process Technology and Environmental Awareness

A major thrust of the EMTC is to develop and implement affordable manufacturing processes for energetic materials, formulations, components and systems that are integrated with environmental considerations. It is essential to unite manufacturing processes with environmental protection. We promote innovative technologies and processes to prevent pollution or clean up existing manufacturing methods.

Our goal is to reduce manufacturing costs while improving product quality and reliability by implementing the following:

  • Manufacturing Techniques: Developing new or improving existing methods of manufacturing energetics.
  • Process Analysis: Analyzing and modeling processes to reduce cycle time, improve quality, and minimize variability.
  • Process Controls: Improving methods for process analysis and data collection to decrease product variability and increase production yields.
  • Safety: Evaluating novel processing tools to reduce known hazards to minimize operator exposure during processing.
  • Pollution Prevention: Promoting environmentally conscious manufacturing that produces minimal or no hazardous waste or pollution.
