When a leading utilities and services provider was commissioned to create an environmentally-critical application for one of the world’s busiest airports, they collaborated with SEKO for a failsafe solution.

The airport had invested in de-icing cannons in order to spray airliners with a heated glycol fluid In order to avoid the delay or cancellation of flights during winter.

However, the airport was concerned that wastewater from this process could contaminate waterways, having a devastating effect on surrounding waterborne wildlife.

A treatment works was built adjacent to the site in order to improve the quality of wastewater being discharged, with SEKO supplying its automated PolyCendos polymer batching system to separate pollutants and allow treated water to be safely discharged into a nearby watercourse.

With this comprehensive water-treatment system in place, airport management could guarantee the quality of its discharged water, protect local wildlife and enhance its drive towards sustainable growth.
