UM. MOROCOCHA - Success Stories
Engineering and sustainability applied to advanced waste management in the mining industry. A technical approach to hazardousness declassification.
What did we do?
We carried out a comprehensive study for Compañía Minera Argentum S.A.C., focused on the technical and regulatory evaluation of cardboard packaging used for explosives in its mining operations.
Safety Data Sheet Review
Comprehensive analysis of chemical composition and reactivity declared in the original MSDS.
Field Sampling
Collection of representative samples in temporary storage areas to ensure data integrity.
Visual Inspection
Direct verification of explosive material traces and physical degradation conditions.
Case Resolution
Based on scientific evidence and strict regulatory compliance.
Andeslab S.A.C. Certification
After a rigorous flammability and reactivity analysis conducted by Andeslab S.A.C., it was scientifically confirmed that the residual material does not present explosive properties. The technical evidence demonstrated that the cardboard only presents combustion but not detonation under thermal or mechanical stimuli.
Regulatory Framework
The waste has been classified as Non-Hazardous, allowing its final management through an EO-RS duly authorized by MINAM.
Success Summary
This project provided the definitive technical support for an orderly, safe and environmentally responsible waste management. We managed to transform an operational uncertainty into a standardized process that reduces costs and environmental risks for Compañía Minera Argentum S.A.C.
