<strong>Micro</strong>-<strong>FAST</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>revolutionary</strong> <strong>anti</strong>-<strong>icing</strong> <strong>spray</strong> <strong>technology</strong>!
<strong>Micro</strong>-<strong>FAST</strong>: quick fittings, quick results<br />
Pump station<br />
<strong>The</strong> pump station consists of an <strong>anti</strong>-<strong>icing</strong> fluid<br />
tank, pump and electronic control unit. It is<br />
flexibly designed and can be optimised for all<br />
local conditions.<br />
Control unit<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Micro</strong>-<strong>FAST</strong> control unit<br />
monitors and controls the entire<br />
<strong>Micro</strong>-<strong>FAST</strong> system:<br />
· Solenoid valve controller in<br />
the valve units<br />
· Monitoring the hydraulic<br />
circuit (pump control, pres<br />
sure and flow rate)<br />
· Monitoring the electrical circuit<br />
(short or open circuits)<br />
· automatic refilling of the<br />
tank<br />
· Release of <strong>spray</strong> programs<br />
manually, by PC or by GFS<br />
alarms<br />
High voltage power<br />
cabinet<br />
<strong>The</strong> entire system is powered<br />
from the main feed in the<br />
high current cabinet. This<br />
cabinet feeds the required<br />
supply voltage to all electrical<br />
components.<br />
Flow meter<br />
<strong>The</strong> flow meter is used to<br />
compare a calculated value<br />
with the actual value of the<br />
amount of <strong>anti</strong>-<strong>icing</strong> used<br />
during a <strong>spray</strong> program.<br />
This allows any leaking or<br />
defective points in the circuit<br />
to be detected and immediate<br />
measures taken.<br />
Pump<br />
<strong>The</strong> vertical stainless steel<br />
rotary pump pressurizes any<br />
liquid <strong>anti</strong>-<strong>icing</strong> with a maximum<br />
operating pressure of<br />
16 bar<br />
Tank monitoring<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>anti</strong>-<strong>icing</strong> fluid tank is<br />
fitted with a float and an<br />
ultrasound sensor. <strong>The</strong><br />
float switches the pump<br />
off, if the level falls below<br />
the minimum. <strong>The</strong> ultrasound<br />
sensor displays the<br />
current level as a percentage<br />
on the PC in the control<br />
center. It also provides<br />
an alarm if the content of<br />
the tank is too low and<br />
gives an acoustic and<br />
visual alarm when the<br />
maximum level is reached<br />
during filling.<br />
Pressure monitor<br />
<strong>The</strong> pressure monitor constantly<br />
checks the pressure<br />
in the <strong>spray</strong> circuit. When<br />
the system is inactive, it is<br />
checked hourly or against<br />
programmable cycles.<br />
De-icer tank<br />
<strong>The</strong> dimensions of the<br />
storage tank will be calculated<br />
from the number<br />
of jet-sticks and transportation<br />
characteristics<br />
(a heavy duty truck) of<br />
the <strong>anti</strong>-<strong>icing</strong> liquid.<br />

100 m <strong>spray</strong> profile<br />
A protective layer of <strong>anti</strong>-<strong>icing</strong> liquid is applied in a very short time. (All done in about 50 seconds).<br />

Spray profiles<br />
Spray profiles are supplied in<br />
rolls of 100 m ready for installation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> distance between<br />
the jet-sticks is 5 meters<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>spray</strong> profile is assembled<br />
in the factory and tested for<br />
perfect operation.<br />
Two nozzles are integrated in<br />
each jet-stick and the angle<br />
between them can be customized<br />
to the project. <strong>The</strong> <strong>spray</strong><br />
profiles resist to all <strong>anti</strong>-<strong>icing</strong><br />
media, ultraviolet light, temperatures<br />
to -40°C and are weatherproof.<br />

Benefits compared<br />
with conventional<br />
<strong>spray</strong> systems are:<br />
• fine, non-interfering <strong>spray</strong><br />
• Spraying time adjustable between 30 seconds and<br />
3 minutes (30 seconds provide the equivalent of 2 g/m 2<br />
of salt)<br />
• Only one solenoid valve every 100 m, hence lower<br />
installation and maintenance costs<br />
• Installed flush in the center of the carriageway<br />

Installation<br />
Smallest installation costs thanks<br />
to reduced dimensions. <strong>The</strong><br />
depth of only 40 mm also allows<br />
the <strong>spray</strong> profile to be fitted on<br />
bridge decks or armoured concrete<br />
pavement…<br />
Special compound is used to fix<br />
the <strong>spray</strong> profile in the pavement.<br />

Two lane motorway:<br />
ecological and economical<br />
layout. <strong>The</strong> hard shoulders<br />
are not <strong>spray</strong>ed directly.<br />

Spray profiles<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>spray</strong>ing is invisible to<br />
the drivers, because the<br />
liquid is spread as a mist.<br />
<strong>The</strong> traffic distributes the<br />
<strong>anti</strong>-<strong>icing</strong> liquid immediately<br />
over the entire road surface.<br />
A <strong>spray</strong> profile is used to<br />
<strong>spray</strong> both lanes over the full<br />
width.<br />
