Glycol Pro Blending System (Jr / Mobile / Skid / Modular)

A family of pre-assembled ADF blending systems that deliver temperature-compensated glycol-water mixes at ±1% accuracy across four form factors suited to any airport scale.

The Glycol Pro family from Liquid Automation Systems comprises four configurable variants — Jr, Mobile, Skid, and Modular — each engineered to blend Type I aircraft de-icing fluid (ADF) with water on-site rather than accepting pre-blended concentrate deliveries. Blending is governed by refractive index measurement and ADF Lowest Operational Use Temperature (LOUT) principles, allowing operators to dial in any mix ratio from 10% to 70% glycol by volume in 1% increments. All variants use precision valve modulation to hold blend accuracy at ±1% by volume, temperature-compensated, across a flow range that scales from 125 GPM on the Jr to up to 1,000 GPM across the broader line. Airport deicing coordinators use these systems at centralized blending pads or inline with truck-fill stations. The Jr arrives pre-assembled and tested, requiring only utility and electrical hook-ups, making it the fastest path to operational on compact regional facilities. The Mobile variant follows truck-mounted or trailer-based deployments; the Skid suits permanent pad-side installations; the Modular configuration addresses high-capacity hubs where throughput can be expanded in stages without replacing the core unit. The practical procurement case centres on the cost mathematics of concentrated glycol vs. pre-blended: on-site blending can cut ADF transport costs by roughly half and more than double effective fluid capacity within existing tank infrastructure by storing pure concentrate instead of diluted product. A NEMA-rated weatherproof enclosure with stainless steel piping and a touch-screen HMI with valve position indicators, pump status, alarm conditions, and optional remote panel ensure year-round ramp use in sub-zero conditions. GCC airports that use anti-icing protocols for arriving aircraft requiring fluid application before cold-weather transits will find the Modular or Skid variants well-matched to hub-scale duty.

Use cases.

  • Centralized deicing pad blending stations at commercial airports replacing pre-blended ADF deliveries
  • Regional airports seeking compact, low-installation-overhead blending (Jr variant)
  • Hub airports requiring high-throughput modular blending capacity scalable in phases
  • Truck-fill stations where operators need to re-blend fluid in-vehicle to match a new freeze-point requirement mid-shift
  • Airports pursuing glycol cost reduction and storage efficiency by holding pure concentrate rather than diluted product
  • Operations supporting Type IV anti-icing alongside Type I de-icing from a single blending platform
