Neutralization of Melanj

• Melanj is a highly toxic substance that was widely used by the Soviet

Forces as a liquid propellant oxidiser for small and medium range missiles

• Consists of nitric acid, in the form of Inhibited Red Fuming Nitric Acid

(IRFNA)

• Highly reactive liquid stored in steel or aluminium tanks which are corroding

and leaking, posing a major risk to public health and the environment

• Total 2,500 tones of Melanj was neutralized

• Projects successfully completed in:

• Moldova: Dec 2001-Dec 2002

• Azerbaijan: Jul 2006-Jun 2008

• Uzbekistan: Nov 2009-Oct 2010


Destruction of Pesticides

and Dangerous Chemicals

• Location: Moldova

• Destruction of 1,300 tons of obsolete and prohibited pesticides

• 3-Phase project:

• Phase I: Repacking and Centralization - completed in 2007

• Phase II: Chemical Analysis - completed in 2010

• Phase III: Destruction - started in Feb 2013

Tents with solar panels

Generator with solar panel Military Vehicle

with LED lights

Powered soldier systems

NATO SENT Group

• NSPA is observer at NATO “Smart Energy

Team” (SENT)

• NATO’s Emerging Security Challenges

Division (ESCD) set up the “Smart Energy

Team”, a group of experts from six Allied

and two partner countries in 2013

• SENT aims is to identify and highlight the best opportunities and

provide recommendations for multinational ‘Smart Energy’ activities

within NATO’s Smart Defense framework and SPS (Science for

Peace and Security) Programme


NSPA Green Day 2014


NSPA Green Day 25 June 2014

Summary

• NSPA takes initiatives in environmental security and renewable

energy utilization

• NSPA procures in accordance with the NATO STANAGs and

Minimum Military Requirements (MMR) (Environmental STANAGs

exist with the lack of renewable energy domain)

• NATO and Nations to include environmental and renewable energy

requirements in their MMR

• NSPA has already developed significant experience and expertise

to serve our customers in this area
