Brandon Jones, safety officer for Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) turns a valve on the upper trailer deck releasing sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to the main trailer deck of MV Cape Ray (T-AKR 9679). The NaOH is used to balance the pH of the byproducts of the Field Deployable Hydrolysis System (FDHS) for storage aboard Cape Ray until off loaded in Finland or Germany for further destruction. Cape Ray is tasked with the neutralization of specific chemical materials from Syria in accordance with the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) guidelines while operating in international waters.
