1、ACRP Problem No. 10-02-33 Recommended: No Evaluation of Treatment Alternatives for Runoff generated from Aircraft Deicing activities.

This problem statement should be compared or combined with other, similar deicing problem statements such as 10-02-01, 10-02-04, 10-02-09, 10-02-10, 10-02-23, 10-02-28, 10-02-33, 10-02-29, 10-02-46, 10-02- 47, or 10-02-48.

The Environmental Panel saw an opportunity to update fact sheets from ACRP Report 14, by adding releva

ACRP Screening Panel This problem statement is not recommended but the most valuable elements should be

PROBLEM TITLE Evaluation of Treatment Alternatives for Runoff generated from Aircraft Deicing activities. II. RESEARCH PROBLEM STATE
8、MENT Airports across the United States face increasing regulatory and technical challenges for addressing runoff from deicing operations. The use of glycol-based aircraft deicing and anti-icing fluids (ADFs) is necessary for safe air travel and it is expected that the use of ADF will continue to ris
9、e until alternative technologies are developed and widely implemented. The runoff generated during these deicing events represents millions of gallons of stormwater and wastewater associated with industrial activities. This runoff presents unique challenges for airports as the requirements for the h
10、andling and discharge of these fluids vary state to state. Although the Effluent Limitation Guideline (ELG) being developed by EPA will likely standardize the effluent limit and/or collection efficiency requirements across the country, it will not provide airports with the information they need to e
11、valuate treatment options for the fluid they will then be required to collect or how to achieve the new effluent limitations with which they must comply. This project would provide airports with a review of available and emerging technologies for the treatment of this fluid. III. OBJECTIVE The objec
12、tive of this project is to prepare a compendium of currently available technologies as well as emerging technologies for the treatment of ADFs and stormwater containing spent ADFs. This information could be used by airports to evaluate treatment options available to meet the new ELG (when promulgate
13、d) for existing facilities as well as to provide critical information during the early planning and conceptual design phases for new development of deicing facilities, additional pavement, and facility expansions. The evaluation would include information on the various technologies (existing and eme
14、rging), capital cost for each technology, associated annual operation and maintenance costs, impacts to airfield efficiency, environmental benefits or impacts, social implications, and regulatory considerations. IV. RESEARCH PROPOSED The proposed approach for preparing the compendium would include r
15、eviewing the surveys prepared by airports for the ELG (EPA survey) to compile a list of the treatment technologies currently employed around the country. The research project would then augment that data with specific information from each airport to help answer the remaining questions regarding eff
16、ectiveness, capital and annual costs, environmental benefits, etc. as needed to meet the objective of the project. The research would then target emerging technologies that may be available in the near future that might be used to treat ADF and stormwater contaminated with ADF associated with indust
17、rial activities. These existing and emerging technologies might include traditional wastewater treatment technologies that could treat ADF contaminated stormwater and spent ADF in conjunction with domestic wastewater, ADF contaminated stormwater only, ADF contaiminated stormwater and/or ADF with oth
18、er facility generated process wastewater, etc. Technologies to be considered would include both onsite and offsite options and could be used as pretreatment prior to final treatment at a separate facility, or could represent the final treatment solution for the facility generated material. The study
19、 would address offsite treatment options as well as on-site in-situ active or passive treatment technologies. V. ESTIMATE OF THE PROBLEM FUNDING AND RESEARCH PERIOD Recommended Funding: $300,000 or as determined by TRB estimate. Research Period: This research should be completed in 18 months. VI. UR
20、GENCY AND PAYOFF POTENTIAL Given the potential development of deicing/anti-icing related effluent guidelines by the US EPA, there is an urgent need for airports to have clear and concise information on available options for treatment of spent ADF. The compendium of treatment technologies will provid
21、e airports with sound technical evaluations of available treatment alternatives as well as current capital and operational cost information for consideration during planning and design of airport expansion projects. This information will also be useful to airports as they communicate to regulators a
22、nd other stakeholders about how these fluids will be managed 2 and ultimately treated. Finally, this document will provide airports with sound information that will ultimately protect water quality. The results of this project are highly transferable because all airports that perform deicing operati
23、ons would benefit from having this technical and cost data readily available in a user friendly format. VII. RELATED RESEARCH Unknown. VIII.
