"Best way to not get caught" until you posted it on the worldwide web dumb-ass.

the chemical barrels you may have seen in here are calcium setyl-nitrate, and "heavy water" (water has 2 different isotopes; heavy water is found 1:200 ratios in most standard water supplies. the calcium setyl-nitrate was used as a cleaner for the boilers and the heavy water was used for filtering soot out of the smoke before it was released into the atmosphere.
