Title, Resolve
Appropriating Funds not to Exceed the Amount of $275,000 from Airport Department Equipment Reserves for
the Purpose of Purchasing a Type I Glycol Blending Unit for Aircraft Deicing Fluid at Bangor International
Airport.
This Resolve will authorize the appropriation of funds not to exceed the amount of $275,000 from
Airport Department equipment reserves for the purpose of purchasing a Type I glycol blending
station for use at Bangor International Airport (BGR). A new modern and automated blending
station allows for the ability to mix glycol fluid with water at lower concentrations, depending on the
outside air temperature, reducing overall glycol use by an estimated 17%. This automated system
reduces the labor hours currently needed to manually mix Type I fluid, decreases BOD loads to the
Wastewater Treatment facility, and increases the product profit margin. The estimated return on
investment of a new blending unit will be within 2-3 deicing seasons. The purchase of the blending
unit is part of the airports long term future operations plan and compliments last year’s purchase of
the high reach de-ice truck.
