Title	Chemical agent destruction and caustic wastewater treatment fact sheet
Description	A fact sheet put out about VX destruction and caustic wastewater treatment. The Newport work force neutralized the chemical agent by adding bulk liquid agent VX to a steel reaction tank containing hot sodium hydroxide and water. The resulting byproduct was a caustic wastewater. Once the chemical agent reaction was verified, the wastewater was stored in intermodal containers, also referred to as ISO containers, for transport to Veolia Environmental Services in Port Arthur, Texas, for further treatment.
