While some of the country struggles with drought other parts are having a hard time dealing with where exactly to put snow after it is cleared. This is one solution.  The Snow Dragon is a portable snow melting trailer that gives a bring the fight to them mentality to snow removal.

“Snow and ice are deposited onto a melting pan that is fabricated above a hot water bath, containing heat exchanger tubes.  The burner fires into the tubes heating the water, similar to a boiler burner type system. This creates a 100% totally enclosed system, thus not allowing any burner/flame contaminants to be introduced to the discharge or water bath.  As snow is dumped onto the melting pan, warm water is sprayed over the snow.  As the snow melts, it travels down the pan, through a screening process into the debris catch area and back into the water hopper to be re-heated.  Debris baskets are available to be used to clean out the excess debris during your snowmelting operation.  As water level rises, it travels through a weir system, separating the debris, oil and other non-soluble products, and then discharges under the melter.  You can park near or over a storm drain, catch basin, or hook up a hose and divert it to a secondary location.  At the end of your melting operation, any debris can be removed by the surrounding clean out doors.”
