The treatment and handling systems of industrial pollutants which generated and discharged into surface runoff from airports

Abstract

Industrial pollutants which generated and discharged into surface runoff from airports are aggressive for our surrounding environment and not adequately controlled. Over the years, the emission composition and quantities of Lithuania and foreign airports very changed. Airports and airlines deal with multiple objectives and are challenged with multiple constraints when it comes to airfield pavement and aircraft deicing and anti-icing. In this article presented abroad commonly used technologies and best practices to suspend or reduce the aggressive discharge of pollutants into surface runoff and creeks. There are several systems for the treatment and disposal of deicing runoff. This paper introduces proposed surface runoff treatment technology at Vilnius International Airport in Lithuania.
