ammonium nitrate slurry

Yeah, it’s a pumper truck. It’s a decent gig. You’ll likely back in and they tell you how much to pump off and the hands move from hole to hole with the hose as you run the pump.

 

Ammonium nitrate slurry compositions
Abstract
A slurry composition based essentially on ammonium nitrate, prepared by a process which comprises comminuting solid substance containing ammonium nitrate by grinding in the presence of a saturated solution of solid in a liquid in which the solid has a solubility greater than 1% by weight, the mixture of the solution and the solid being in fluid condition with the solid being a separate phase during grinding and the solution having dissolved therein an additive which is a crystal growth inhibitor for the solid whereby crystal growth is inhibited at both existing crystal surfaces and new crystal surfaces created by the breaking down of relatively coarse particles.

Ammonium nitrate is the main component of slurry explosives used for mining. However, the source of ammonium nitrate used for improvised explosive mixtures is often fertilizer. Fertilizer-grade ammonium nitrate can be powdered or in the form of prills.

 

I hauled explosives long haul exclusively for 10 years…good money. What you talking about is likely the slurry truck that works on site. My area that would be $35 hour…Its not dangerous by any stretch,, Only slurry I hauled was heated tanks they loaded in my trailer, it was a trial thing,,,did not work out.
Hauling explosives in Canada was very lucrative until govt decided any low rent outfit could haul powder and in mixed loads with LTL, as well the high explosives factory in Quebec closed up and moved to Joplin where they could get folks to work for buttons. I think they still manufacture the caps in Brownsburg PQ

 

What was the old career?
