Airbase De-icing System

Location: UK

Scope: Integration and process supply of a de-icing System for a UK airbase.

Briggs of Burton provided a twin-tank bulk de-icer system including control system to a UK airbase. The airbase required a bulk de-icing system capable of handling a concentrated formulation that can be diluted on loading of the de-icing vehicles. This was a replacement to their existing operations where concentrated de-icer is generally received in and dispensed from barrels, with dilution made by the direct addition of water into the de-icing vehicle on-board tanks.
