GlycoTech deploys rugged electrochemical sensors at stormwater outfalls to continuously monitor ethylene glycol from airport de-icing — delivering real-time alerts and compliance-ready reports.
The Problem
Every winter, airports apply thousands of litres of ethylene glycol for aircraft de-icing. When it washes into stormwater, it depletes oxygen in nearby waterways — yet most facilities still rely on manual grab samples taken days apart.
GlycoTech closes that gap with continuous, sensor-based monitoring at the source.

Product
Everything you need to move from manual sampling to continuous, automated compliance monitoring.
Purpose-built sensor node measures glycol concentration via oxidative electrochemistry — no reagents, no lab wait.
Threshold-based notifications fire the moment a reading exceeds your compliance limit — not hours later.
Data streams directly from field sensors to the cloud — no on-site IT infrastructure required.
Auto-generated timestamped logs, exportable as CSV or PDF — ready for regulators on demand.
IP-rated enclosure built for Canadian winters — operates reliably from -30°C through freeze-thaw cycles.
Interactive sensor map shows concentration levels, status, and trends across all your monitoring sites.
Vision
GlycoTech is designed to make stormwater glycol monitoring continuous, reliable, and easy to act on.
The focus isn't just data — it's faster response, reduced manual sampling, and clean compliance records that stand up to scrutiny.
