Types of Application Systems
Anti-icing systems can be either mobile truck-mounted spray
rigs, capable of covering large areas where needed, or fixed spray
systems that will treat specific problem locations. Both use a chemical that
can lower the freeze point of water, requiring a storage tank for
the chemical. Generally, a 6,000-gallon capacity tank with agitation
and circulation capabilities is used. However other sizes are acceptable,
depending on specific local needs and conditions.
