Developing Locally Sourced Brine Additive for Anti-Icing
Alaska University Transportation Center, Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities
2014
Abstract
The proposed research will address the Alaska University Transportation Center’s theme of “Transportation Safety, Security and Innovation in Cold Regions,” particularly in the areas of maintaining cold-regions transportation systems. Specifically, this research will develop and test locally sourced salt brine additives suitable for anti-icing during winter maintenance in Alaska. Development of alternative anti-icing products serves the public interest, as this research is expected to generate significant cost savings for the Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and other maintenance agencies, traveler benefits in terms of improved safety and mobility, and societal benefits in reducing corrosion and environmental impacts.
