Radiant Energy Corporation, (REC)
is a publically traded Canadian company, listed on the TSX Venture
Exchange, with the stock trading symbol “RDT”. The Company has its
headquarters in Toronto, Ontario, with most of its marketing and
sales activities managed through its wholly-owned American
subsidiary called Radiant Aviation Services, Inc., (RAS).
During the mid 1990s Radiant developed the only FAA approved
infrared aircraft deicing alternative to the traditional
glycol-based pre-flight ground deicing process for commercial
aircraft. With the exponential rise in petroleum prices the deicing
of commercial passenger and transport aircraft has become
exceptionally expensive and the mitigation of spent glycol is a
complex, costly and now pressing environmental problem.
Radiant’s unique patented infrared deicing technology deices
aircraft prior to departure either using no glycol, or if required
by weather conditions, only a small amount of deicing fluid prior to
departure. Radiant’s technology can result in as much as an 80%
reduction in the amount of glycol required to deice aircraft over a
winter’s operations at a commercial airport.
Radiant’s
unique technology provides an innovative solution to the cost and
environmental risks of using glycol that is both environmentally and
fiscally responsible. Radiant is not aware of any conventional
glycol solutions that can boast as effective a glycol reduction and
mitigation rate as its technology, nor is Radiant aware of any other
aircraft deicing system that is as beneficial a use of infrared
technology for aircraft deicing.
FAA
Approval
In 1994 the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) Tech Center created a Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (CRDA) with a small Buffalo, NY, firm, Process
Technologies Inc., (now Radiant Energy Corporation). This
partnership was formed to test an innovative aircraft deicing
concept that is basically as old as the sun itself. Over the next
three winters, first at Buffalo, then at Rochester, NY the FAA's
Technology Center Team provided a mix of FAA test aircraft for a
series of deicing demonstrations.
All tests were entirely
successful and consequently the FAA issued an Advisory Circular in
its Handbook 8400-10 approving the Radiant system for use on civil
aircraft operated in the United States. The latest version of the AD
Note is dated April 17, 2006 and can be found in Volume 4. -
Aircraft Equipment and Operational Authorizations - CHAPTER 8.
GROUND DEICING/ANTI-ICING PROGRAMS, SECTION 3. “OTHER MEANS OF
DEICING -ANTI-ICING/GROUND DEICING USING INFRARED (IR)
ENERGY”.
Subsequently, in 1999 a commercial Radiant deicing
facility commenced operations in Rhinelander Wisconsin (RHI) and in
2000 a system was delivered to Continental airlines at Newark, NJ
(EWR) airport and lastly January, 19th 2007 a large Radiant System
2500 (747-300/777/A340 capable) commenced service for the Port
Authority of New York, New Jersey at John F. Kennedy International
Airport (JFK) at Jamaica, NY.
Forward Looking
