EQ Airport Services also provides a number of Airports with spent ADF/stormwater management services on a contract/purchase order basis. These Airports typically provide their own on-site collection and recovery operations and engage EQ for:

  • Purchase of permanent storage or rental of temporary storage
  • Purchase or Rental of pumps, hoses, and related conveyance equipment
  • Transportation Services
  • Fluid Reclamation/Recycling Services
  • Fluid Disposal Services
  • Laboratory Services

In addition to engineering/design and industrial services, as offered by EQ Industrial Services (tank cleanings, confined space work in piping and storage systems, waste (solids) disposal, etc.)

The level of activity is usually weather dependent, with transportation and fluid management services occurring on an "as needed" or "on call" basis. Spent ADF from propylene-based ADF operations are directed to EQ's Glycol Processing Unit while EG or EG/PG fluids enter into one of EQ's "direct to use" or contracted recycle programs.

Kent County International Airport (Grand Rapids) is contracted with EQ as a provider of spent ADF/Stormwater management services.

Since 1999, EQ has managed over 1,000,000 gallons of spent ADF/stormwater. Also contracted with EQ:
  • Oakland County International Airport (Pentastar Aviation)
  • United Parcel Service
  • Federal Express
  • Million Air (Salt Lake)
  • Salt Lake Jet Center
  • Utah Air National Guard 151st Air Refueling Wing
  • Pennsylvania Air National Guard 171st Air Refueling Wing

In the past, EQ Airport Services has managed spent ADF from other Airports as weather and operational issues dictated, including Albany (NY) International, Minneapolis- St. Paul International, Kalamazoo/Battle Creek, Fort Wayne-Allen County Airport, Hudson General (Salt Lake) and Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport.
