The Trecan 60-SG has a capacity of melting 60 tons of snow per hour. Its 12 million BTU / hr burner can melt 150 to 300 cubic yards of snow with an average snow density of 15 to 30 lbs per/ft. per hour. A Trecan 60-SG will use 13,500 SCFH or 13,499.99 cubic feet or 382.21 cubic meters of gas per hour, which at .42 cents per cubic meter equals $ 160.52 per hour to melt 60 tons of snow. Compared to a portable diesel powered unit that will require 326 Litres of diesel per hour to melt 60 tons of snow.
(*Gas cost example of .42 cents per cubic meter was based on the current price of Natural Gas in Quebec, Canada in February 2009).
