    A team of engineers and technicians spent two months inerting 170 Dahlgren and 6.4-inch Brooke projectiles that Navy divers recovered from the CSS Georgia this summer.

    After remotely drilling holes in each projectile, the team used high-pressure hot water and MuniRem to remove the bulk explosives.

    MuniRem is a solution that chemically neutralizes explosives, and was invented by Professor Valentine Nzengung, Ph.D., an environmental engineer and environmental geochemist at the University of Georgia. He created the solution in 2005 but is continuously refining the compound to target different explosives.

    Once the bulk explosives were removed, technicians removed the fuzes and their charges, and the inerted projectiles were sent to Texas A&M University’s Conservation Research Laboratory for further conservation
