Airport operations lead to many different types of wastewater for example through general airport, hangar and logistics operations as well as refuelling and cleaning of the aircrafts. The effluent from the runways is contaminated with oils, lubricants, detergents and other chemicals.

The Situation

A major pipeline company has large storage tank farms throughout the Western States. The pipeline company transports, stores, blends additives, and distributes gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel to retail service stations and airports. Due to the quantity and movement of fuel at these facilities, there is always the potential for fuel spills. These facilities prevent out of compliance discharge by capturing all stormwater in storm drains, which is then sent to treatment systems prior to discharge. At some sites, groundwater from ongoing remediation is mixed with stormwater at the treatment system prior to local discharge.

Spent aircraft de-icing fluid is a major pollution con­cern at airports especially in areas with severe winter climates. AnoxKaldnes and Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies can combine our experience in both past and present projects to develop a solution to minimize these concerns, whether it is at a local on-site treatment facility or in conjunction with a local municipal WWTP.
