Snowmelter
A snow melter is a piece of snow removal equipment designed to melt snow using flame burners and/or hot water allowing the melt-water to discharge into a storm drain or onto the ground. Snow melters have been used for over one hundred years. Melting snow artificially helps keep roads, airport tarmacs and other surfaces clear and ready to use.〔 Melting snow is primarily used in areas where trucking snow is not geographically or economically feasible.〔 A built-in snowmelt system which melts the snow where it falls is another snow removal alternative.
==Comparison with dumping snow==
There are two main barriers to dumping snow, the cost and availability of land, and the cost and logistics of trucking snow. The dumping of snow into bodies of water is no longer allowed in many places for pollution reasons which leaves dumping the snow on land or melting the snow. The availability of land suitable for dumping is limited and in most urban areas, the cost of land is significant. For example, the average listing for property in New York City is over two million dollars. Suitable land for a snow dump may be distant requiring trucking the snow to the remote dump sites. Thus, melting snow on site by using an industrial snow melter may be more cost-effective than trucking it to a remote location for disposal.
