GRV Glycol Recovery Vehicle

This unique product was specifically developed to remove glycol and other deicing fluid runoff on airport runways and gate locations before this potentially hazardous chemical can infiltrate the surrounding waterways. The GRV's high air flow, wide sweep path, superior vacuum performance and efficient separation of glycol and ice from the air stream result in fast, clean glycol pick-up.

Equipped to operate at temperatures up to -40 degrees F (-40 degrees C), the GRV is at home even in the most severe winter conditions. The GRV's unmatched performance helps airports comply with the toughest standards for controlling glycol and other deicing fluid run-off mandated anywhere in the world.

FEATURES & APPLICATIONS The GRV features a full 8 foot (2400 mm) pickup head and a 200 gallon (757 l) tank containing emulsifying solution. The emulsifier is sprayed onto the affected pavement through a front spray bar, breaking up the cohesion between the glycol and the pavement for more complete pickup. A large 20,000 cfm fan creates incredible suction across the pickup head, which lifts the glycol, ice and water mixture off the pavement and into an 1800 gallon (6800 l) storage tank, until it can be transported and conveniently discharged into a receptacle or holding tank.

Common GRV Applications:

  • Airport Tarmac
  • Airport Gate Areas
  • De-icing pads
