The Field Deployable Hydrolysis System The FDHS is a transportable, high through put neutralization system designed to convert chemical warfare materiel into compounds not usable as weapons. Neutralization is facilitated through chemical reactions involving reagents that are mixed and heated to optimize throughput with a destruction efficiency of 99.9 percent. This video is a quick animation of how the process takes place. |
