The Department of Defense is planning to help eradicate Syria’s chemical weapons with some chemicals of its own.

Later this December, department officials plan to test a portable hydrolysis system that uses “heat, water and bleach-like chemicals” to transform the weapons into a lower grade of hazardous waste that is more manageable, according to a news release on the department’s website. The tests will be conducted on Cape Ray, a U.S. Merchant Marine ship, marking the first time such a test would be performed at sea.
