A new facility at the Portland International Jetport that recycles aircraft deicing fluid opened on Friday and is the first of its kind in the country, according to airport officials.
In addition to recapturing deicing fluid, the facility also accepts used recycling fluid from other airports in the region. The facility is run by Nova Scotia, Canada-based Inland Technologies.
Jetport officials say that onsite recycling and remanufacturing of new deicing fluid will reduce transportation costs and environmental impact.
“Inland has been a phenomenal partner who has been able to make a business case to recover aircraft deicing fluid that has been sprayed and recycle it here in Portland to be sprayed on another aircraft,” Paul Bradbury, airport director, said in a news release.
An older facility, which opened in Portland six years ago, has collected nearly six million gallons of used aircraft deicing fluid and processed it to remove contaminants, including glycol. Nearly one million gallons of pure glycol have been recovered, according to the release.
