Re: Deicing

[Jack Annis <pannis@facstaff.wisc.edu>]

Hi Kevin,

If you can search the P2 tech archives there was some discussion on this last year, i think in early fall.

As far as chemical alternatives I don't think there are any but some major airports have developed very elaborate collection and recycling programs for deicing fluids.

I believe that one airport has actually built some sort of hangar that aircraft can pull through and be deiced with some sort of heat source, I want to say Pittsburgh or someplace like that.

I'm certainly no expert in this area but I do think that discussion is in the archives.
