De-Icing Storage Tanks for Winter Roads, Airports, and Beyond
What is De-Icing?
De-icing is a crucial winter process for keeping roads, sidewalks, airport runways, and other surfaces safe and ice-free. By applying anti-icing agents, such as sodium chloride and calcium magnesium acetate, professionals can prevent ice from bonding to surfaces, ensuring safer travel and reducing environmental impact. Whether for airport operations, road safety, or industrial applications, Tank Depot offers specialized de-icing storage solutions that exceed industry standards.
Common Anti-Icing Agents for Road & Airport De-Icing
Selecting the right anti-icing agent depends on specific needs like temperature tolerance and environmental considerations. Here are some common de-icing agents and the best storage recommendations.
Chloride-Based De-Icers
Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
Effective and widely used, ideal for temperatures above -7°C but can be corrosive.
Calcium Chloride (CaCl2)
Works down to -25°C, ideal for colder climates but can affect concrete.
Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2)
Less corrosive than calcium chloride, often used in blends.
Potassium Chloride (KCl)
Suitable for areas with high environmental sensitivity.
Alternative De-Icers
Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA)
Less corrosive and environmentally friendly; ideal for airports and sensitive areas.
Glycols (Propylene Glycol, Ethylene Glycol)
Used in aircraft de-icing due to their very low freezing points.
Recommended Storage Tanks for Anti-Icing Agents
To maintain the quality of these chemicals, ensure compatibility and operational efficiency on anti-icing operations, we offer tanks in fiberglass reinforced plastics (FRP), HDPE, and XLPE materials, which are highly durable and resistant to chemical corrosion. These storage options ensure that environmentally friendly de-icing fillers and other non-corrosive agents are safely stored for long-term use.
Robust Winter-Proof De-Icing Storage Tank Options
Tank Depot provides a range of heavy-duty storage tanks designed specifically for de-icing operations. Here’s a breakdown of our tank options.
Our vertical tanks are ideal for high-capacity storage of de-icing fluids like propylene glycol and potassium acetate. These tanks are built to preserve the fluid quality and withstand extreme winter conditions. From 10 gallons to 20,000+ gallon tank sizes.
Perfect for stability in transport and direct application, these horizontal tanks are designed for mounting on truck beds, allowing easy application of de-icing agents on roads or other surfaces. Available from 25 gallons to 6,025 gallon tank capacity.
For de-icing operations requiring secondary containment, our double-wall tanks are a reliable choice. They provide an added layer of protection against leaks and environmental contamination. Available in tank sizes from 10 to 12,500 gallons.
Our open top plastic tanks are optimized for brine storage, offering an anti-icing tank solution that’s easy to access and ideal for brine mixing or holding brine solutions. These brine storage tanks are versatile, durable, and built to handle the demands of winter operations.
