Abstract
On-ground de-icing activity represents a need to protect the aircraft under low-temperature operating conditions, with a high degree of saturation of suspended water vapor or in precipitation conditions that may favor depositions on aircraft surfaces. This activity determines the use of de-icing and anti-icing agents in significant quantities, which leads to compliance with environmental protection standards. In this paper the authors identify solutions for the management of the residues resulting from de-icing activities that lead to soil contamination with different chemical compounds from the fluids used for de-icing.
Highlights
On-ground de-icing activity represents a need to protect the aircraft under low-temperature operating conditions, with a high degree of saturation of suspended water vapor or in precipitation conditions that may favor depositions on aircraft surfaces
On-ground deicing activity has been for around 80 years, the impact of chemical compounds in the de-icing fluid on the ground and especially on the groundwater in the airport area, has become significant in recent years as a result of increased air traffic. The authors present their own methods for assessing the amount of aircraft de-icing fluid (ADF) and aircraft anti-icing fluid (AAF) at an airport, as well as the methods for reducing the impact of chemical compounds in these de-icing substances on soil and subsoil around the airport
The research is based on the analytical assessment of the flight schedule offered by this airport and a series of data taken from a handling company, presenting the ADF/ AAF quantities resulting from different weather conditions during the winter season of 2017
