Chemical Weapons Disposal U.S. Technology

Sept. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- Most estimates put the cost of chemical weapons disposal in Syria between $2 Billion and $15 Billion according to Pentagon reports. Given the hazards of transporting the chemical weapons in a war zone within Syria, it’s more likely the U.S. will deploy experts under the U.N. sponsorship using a new technology known as, “The Field Deployable Hydrolysis System” (FDHS) developed at the US Army's Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center in Maryland.

The FDHS is mobile capable of destroying chemical warfare agents in bulk at a rate of 25 metric tons per day (example, disposal of 1000 tons within three months is possible). The mobile FDHS disposal system is manned by well-trained crew of 15 technicians. The unit is completely self-sufficient costing about $2 million dollars versus going to war at a cost of about $8 Billion per month (est. based on current Iraq and Afghanistan war costs).

The FDHS mobile system neutralizes chemical agents in place by mixing them with water and other reagents like sodium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite and then heating them to produce compounds that are "not usable as weapons." This heating and mixing process to facilitate chemical reactions purportedly has destruction efficiency of 99.9 percent reports Mr. Rickman. Although significant amounts of non-weaponzed waste is produced during the disposal process which is stored in containers.
