Cleanup of Aviation Glycols
|
A critical component in minimizing the impact of glycols on the environment is the quick and efficient clean up of spent fluids on the airport apron area. The Vactor® manufactured Glycol Recovery Vehicles utilized by Inland are specifically engineered for this purpose and feature high air flow, a wide sweep path, and superior vacuum performance. The net result is the recovery of the maximum volume of glycol effluent before it migrates into the storm water system.
Inland also manufactures a line of drain block inserts to prevent the escape of glycol effluent into the environment. More information is available under the Stainless Steel Fabrication section of our website.

Superior Performance
|
Designed with a wide, [8’ or 2.4 m], rear mounted pick up head, heavy duty impeller and powerful drive engine, GRV's vacuum in a single wet pass, the slippery glycol used by airports during de-icing and anti-icing operations. The vehicle’s impeller is shrunk-fit to the shaft to give it rugged durability. The entire fan assembly is balanced and driven by a powerful diesel engine for optimum performance.
|
Off Loading is Safe & Easy
|
The GRV is mounted on a heavy duty chassis to facilitate rapid transport from gate to gate. The vehicle’s rear dump body design is equipped with a high-flow pump system that makes it easy to safely dispose of a load of glycol at a holding tank. Simple, fast off-loading of the debris tank gets the GRV back to work quickly at de-icing locations.
