Bitumen is manufactured from the distillation of crude oil during petroleum refining. It is produced to meet a variety of specifications based upon physical properties for specific end uses. Its main characteristics as an adhesive, as well as being waterproof, thermoplastic, durable, modifiable and recyclable make it ideal as a construction and engineering material. Most of the roads globally currently are paved with bitumen. Today the world’s demand for bitumen accounts for more than 100 million tons per year which is approximately 700 million barrels of bitumen consumed annually. Although bitumen can be found in natural form, the world currently relies for all purposes on petroleum with following different types.
Questions? You’re covered.
Bitumen can be recycled and reused, reducing the need for new raw materials and minimizing waste. Additionally, the use of Bitumen in road construction helps improve fuel efficiency and reduce vehicle emissions through smoother and more durable road surfaces.
Spills of Bitumen during transportation can pose environmental hazards, particularly in aquatic ecosystems. Contamination of waterways can harm aquatic life and ecosystems, requiring prompt and effective cleanup measures to mitigate environmental damage.
Transporting Bitumen by ship presents logistical challenges due to its high viscosity and temperature sensitivity. Specialized tankers and heating systems are required to maintain Bitumen in a pumpable state during transit, along with proper insulation to prevent temperature fluctuations.
