Hypex Bio Explosives Technology
Dennis Menning has extensive work experience in various roles and industries. Dennis started their career as a Scientist at FOI in 2003 and worked there until 2011. During this time, they also served as an Expert at The European CBRNE Center from 2010 to 2011.
In 2011, Menning joined Scania as a Development Engineer and worked there for a year. Dennis then joined Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut (FOI) in 2012 as a Project Manager/Scientist and later became a Project Manager/Senior Scientist. Dennis worked at FOI for nine years until May 2021.
Currently, Menning holds the position of Chief Research Officer (CRO) at Hypex Bio Explosives Technology since May 2021. In this role, they are responsible for the development of a nitrate-free emulsion explosive called Hypex Bio, which is used in mining and construction operations. The use of hydrogen peroxide as a replacement for nitrate salts in the explosive allows for significant savings in infrastructure costs and improved production cycles.
Overall, Menning's work experience showcases their expertise in research, project management, and development engineering, with a focus on explosives technology and CBRNE matters.
Dennis Menning's education history begins with their enrollment at Ängskolan from 1988 to 1991. Although no specific degree or field of study is provided for this period, it is indicated that they attended this institution. Subsequently, from 1991 to 1994, they pursued their high school education at Lötgymnasiet, earning a high school diploma with a focus on natural sciences.
Menning continued their academic journey at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology from 1997 to 2004. During this time, they obtained a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering with a specialization in Polymer Technology. Dennis'sstudies at this prestigious institution equipped him with in-depth knowledge and expertise in the field.

Hypex Bio Explosives Technology
Hypex Bio is a nitrate free emulsion explosive developed for use in civil underground and surface mining and construction rock blasting operations. Hypex Bio is an abbreviation for “Hydrogen peroxide explosive – biodegradable” and implies the use of hydrogen peroxide as a replacement for nitrate salts as primary oxidizer. By replacing nitrate based explosives with Hypex significant savings in ventilation and water treatment infrastructure may be achieved in combination with improved production cycles. Further, tremendous CO2 emission savings can be achieved by migrating to Hypex Bio. The team behind Hypex Bio believes the technology represents the first commercially available nitrate free emulsion explosive. Hypex offers a paradigm shift for the civil explosives markets and support the construction and extractive industries to fulfill the challenging but necessary environmental and sustainability targets set by the governments of the world. Significant efforts have been made to develop a stable, cost effective and reliable HPE type explosive which have led to a commercialization of the technology in the European Union through a CE certification process and multiple HPE patent applications. As a part of this commercialization, the HPE technology have been branched to the new Swedish entity Hytech. Hytech is capitalized to operate verification and implementation projects and have been organized with a experienced management board, investors and key experts to ensure the HPE commercialization success. Hytech holds laboratory, manufacturing, IP and regulatory assets making the entity ideally positioned to succeed in the commercialization of the Hypex Bio technology.
