Bitumen

Product details

Bitumen is a complex mixture of high molecular weight hydrocarbons that is extracted from crude oil processing or from natural deposits. The production of bitumen starts with the extraction of crude oil from the ground, which is then transported to storage tanks. From there, it is pumped into a distillation tower with a diameter of 65 Cm and a height of 6 meters. The crude oil is heated to over 300 C, causing it to vaporize and separate into various components. In the initial stages, light components such as benzene and propene are separated, and the heavy compounds, including bitumen, settle at the bottom of the column. This process occurs under atmospheric pressure, and the resulting product can be tailored to meet specific requirements based on its intended use. Bitumen is a thick, viscous liquid with a wide range of applications. It is primarily used in the production of asphalt, which is used to pave roads and highways. In fact, over 85% of the world’s bitumen is used for this purpose. In addition to its use in road construction, bitumen is also used in other construction applications such as roofing and paving. It has also found use in industries such as dam grouting and linings, membrane linings, soil stabilization, and fence post coating.
