Liquid Automation Systems - Automated Aviation Fuel and Aircraft De-Icing Fluid Management

Liquid Automation Systems provides products and services to help maximize efficiencies and cost saving on de-icing operations and fuel and glycol management.

De-icing systems and solutions glycol blending products

LAS-USA Glycol Pro™-blending products assist your aircraft de-icing fluid (ADF) management by allowing you to:

• Drastically reduce your glycol usage
• Reduce glycol costs and environmental impact
• Double your onsite ADF storage without adding a single tank
• Easily blend to LOUT by desired freeze point, volumetric blend ratio, acutal glycol-to-water ratio or brix reading
• Easily re-blend up or down depending on weather conditions
• Reduce your freight costs and storage costs
• Flow rates from 150GPM to 1,000GPM
• Type I, IV and runway de-ice dispensing
• Track your usage by customer, tail number and truck
• Manage and reconcile inventories automatically and in real-time
• Real-time automated reporting reduces administrative load
• Insure your de-icing systems are ready for the season

Blending system for type I ADF

The Glycol Pro Jr™, Glycol Pro™ Mobile, Glycol Pro™ Skid and Glycol Pro™ Modular blending systems are designed to provide an easy-to-use system for blending various mix ratios of type 1 aircraft de-icing fluid ADF) and water-based on the principle of refractive index and ADF lowest operational use temperature (LOUT).

As temperatures change, ADF requirements alter so the Glycol Pro Jr allows the user / operator to adjust blend concentration of ADF with an easy-to-use touch screen interface or an optional remote operating panel from 10%-70% glycol by volume in as little as 1% increments. Precision valve modulation controls the temperature compensated glycol blend to an accuracy of + / - 1% glycol by volume with flow rates of 125GPM. With the Glycol Pro Jr blending is as easy as pushing a button.

Touch-screen interface provides operators with complete monitoring of the blending process including:

• Start / stop controls
• Blend adjustment controls
• Glycol and water control valve position indicators
• Pump status indicators
• Blended fluid concentration indicators
• Multiple alarm condition indicators
• Alarm acknowledge/ reset control

The Glycol Pro Jr arrives to site pre-assembled, tested and is ready to use once fluid and electrical connections have been made. All piping is stainless steel and is protected by a NEMA rated weatherproof steel enclosure.

Precision ADF management system

With today's increasing energy costs and environmental regulations the need for a precision ADF management system has never been greater. The benefits of Glycol Pro include:

• Reducing energy costs by allowing facilities to purchase and store concentrated glycol ADF instead of pre-blended ADF
• With pre-blended ADF you're paying to transport, process and store water that is already available at most sites
• Replacing pre-blend ADF with concentrate can almost double on site storage capacity without the need for additional tanks
• Having the ability to deliver a custom-blend of ADF to de-icing units to meet specific daily weather conditions reduces costs associated with wasted glycol and the effects of run-off into nearby ecosystems

Aviation fuel and ADF management 

AvTrol™ fluid management products assist your aviation fuel and ADF management, by allowing you to:

• Improve customer service
• Improve accounting accuracy
• Improve operational efficiencies
• Provide real-time inventory control and reconciliation
• Interface with your existing accounting and line service software

Battery-powered tank telemetry systems

The tank telemetry systems are battery-powered and web-enabled, which allows you to:

• Prevent fluid exhaustion during weather events
• Cost effectively view your glycol tank levels from any PC or smart phone with internet connectivity
• Set automatic reorder levels and have emails sent directly to purchasing or fluid suppliers for replenishment
• Track usage by product over any given time range
• Verify amounts of bulk receipts
• See all tanks locations via google maps
• Detect leak and unauthorized fluid movement

Complete aviation fuel and aircraft de-icing fluid management and accountability from pipeline to flight line to bottom line - LAS-USA has the solution.
