  • Patent number: 10253230
    Abstract: A method of producing a deicing brine blend. The method may include providing an amount of sodium chloride component solution, the amount of sodium chloride component solution having a specific gravity of approximately between 1.179 and 1.156. The method may include providing an amount of calcium chloride component solution, the amount of calcium chloride component solution having a specific gravity of approximately 1.294. The method may include providing an amount of a sugar additive component solution. The method may include mixing at least the amount of sodium chloride component solution, the amount of calcium chloride component solution, and the amount of a sugar additive to produce the deicing brine blend. The deicing brine blend may be crystallization-free at least until the deicing brine blend is below 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
