Molasses Road Treatment: Environmentally-Friendly

While Zook Ag may be best known for producing molasses for animals, we also manufacture molasses for road treatment as a natural de-icing solution. As the interest in all-natural alternatives to chemicals keeps rising, more municipalities and companies are looking for new solutions for de-icing as well as wastewater treatment. Our molasses road treatment provides a more efficient, all-natural way to treat the roads as a countermeasure against winter weather.

After being field-tested over several winters, customers agree that our molasses road treatment solutions are not only a good choice to go green but significantly more effective than traditional solutions. Whether you manage the winter maintenance for a municipality or you run a private snow company and want a more environmentally-friendly option for your customers, choose molasses for deicing.

Advantages of Our Natural De-Icing Solution

The Zook Ag natural deicer is formulated by mixing our distilled molasses with urea to melt snow and ice. The molasses road treatment is then applied by trucks over the roadways just like with any traditional product. Since the molasses and urea are less harsh and more natural than a traditional calcium chloride compound, there are key environmental benefits – in addition to the added efficiency. Most of the benefits of our product come from the fact that the molasses base sticks to the road very effectively, which makes the ice melt compound more effective.

These are the key advantages of our natural de-icing solution:

You can use less product to get the same de-icing benefit, which saves real money from your budget.
The Zook Ag road treatment is more effective than a comparable amount of traditional ice melt chemicals. This is because the molasses stick to the roads even during a storm.
Again, since the molasses keeps the deicer in place, drivers won’t need to re-stripe the same roads.
Since calcium chloride is not used, the runoff won’t be nearly as harsh. Traditional road treatments can cause damage to local waterways.

Simply put, when compared side-by-side, our natural deicer outperforms the alternative – and is better for the environment. Reach out to today to get more specific details about product lines and to place your order now.

Another way that municipal governments can benefit from incorporating our solutions into their work is through our molasses wastewater treatment solutions. As is the case with our molasses for crops, you can incorporate our product lines to stimulate important bacteria growth. In this case, by using a molasses wastewater treatment product, you feed the bacteria and aggressively stimulate their growth. This makes the crucial bacteria in the wastewater tanks more effective in their decomposition purpose. Molasses is also a good carbon source, and a safer and less expensive alternative to methanol, for the anaerobic decomposition of nitrates
