Posilico said the new system reduces dust and takes about 5,000 truck trips from local streets and highways. The changes should result in reduced net fuel consumption and less CO2 emissions.
The project has been done in conjunction with the Town of Babylon Industrial Development Association.
Posillico has increased its storage capabilities from two silos erected in 1971 to 5 highly efficient storage silos that currently serve their customers. Additional technologies in manufacturing include a double barrel drum which maximizes opportunities for reclaimed asphalt, and the multi-nozzle device which reduces the required placement temperature while maintaining quality.
