Photo By Petty Officer 1st Class Jeffrey Hanshaw | PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii - Domonkos Feher, PHNSY & IMF Chemist, is conducting an analysis of the drinking water system onboard a submarine in PHNSY & IMF’s dry dock. The analysis ensures the chlorine concentration is high enough initially to disinfect, and that it returns to safe drinking water levels before the system is certified for drinking water use.
