Abstract: An apparatus and method for blending fluids and applying the blended fluid to a surface of an aircraft during deicing and anti-icing operations having a first tank, second tank, blend tank, pumps, conduits, heaters, controllers, and a delivery device. In operation, a controller compares the composition of the blended fluid in the blend tank to the composition of a target fluid that is determined by current ambient temperature of the environment, and advances first and second fluids from the first and second tanks, respectively, into the blend tank to achieve and maintain the target fluid composition in the blend tank.

Abstract: An apparatus capable of mixing and dispensing a decontaminant foam that is useful in strategic and tactical decontamination comprises in one embodiment a plurality of tanks 11, a pump assembly that is capable of mixing binary or multi-component decontaminant fluids in a desired ratio, and a manifold for mixing the fluids. In an alternative embodiment, the invention provides a mobile decontamination module, wherein a wheeled platform is provided for supporting the tanks 11, pump assembly, manifold, and a boom for dispensing foam-based of liquid-based decontaminant such that the module is compatible with the on-load and off-load equipment aboard a heavy transport vehicle.
