this is an example of how a bad cargo is. Lot of impurities (you can see them on the surface), and product is accessible to everybody. this cargo was ready to be shipped out to Qingdao, China, as ash <20%. We tested it and find out ash was 26%, which added to impurities (stones) can give out a 30% ash content.<br /><br />

including roofing, flooring, pipe-coating etc. It is produced by passing air through
soft bitumen/flux mixtures under controlled temperature conditions. British Standard
grades (BS 3690) are normally designated by two numbers representing the mid-points
of their softening point and penetration ranges.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and testing of bitumen properties. Finally the temperature of product should be
kept 150- 165 °C in order to have loading and packing capability.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

different steps, bitumen blowing, condenser external gases and packing. So in the
beginning the loose bitumen shipped to the plant by tanker is transferred to the
raw material store tanker. In order to transfer the bitumen easily to the blowing
tower the burner is contrived at the bottom of the store tanker to heat them. It
is necessary to say that if the blowing towers are empty, hot bitumen can be uploaded
directly to them and blowing operation start.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

temperature is between 265 to 270 °C. The needed heat is provided by burner contrived
at the bottom of the tower. The bitumen reaction is calorific so in order to prevent
the explosion danger resulted from temperature increasing, the temperature can be
controlled by water injection, burner extinguisher and air amount reducing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

properties testing. The blowing operation stops when oxidized bitumen reaches to
specified properties. After this in order to fix the final point and depolymerization
bitumen got in high temperature. It is necessary to be transferred to store after
packing and presented to sale.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

condenser through the pipe fixed at the top of the blowing tower. In this stage
the bad smelling gases and oily and volatile parts are separated from then transfer
to sewage accompanied with water. Other unseparated gas parts is emitted from top
of the condenser then transfer to furnace and burned there. After cooling the blowing
oven and reaching them to 150-160 °C, all the content of blowing oven which is hard
bitumen is able to be loaded and packed. Because of the liquid height in blowing
tower, oxidized bitumen is transferred by specific gravity and there is no need
to use pump. Packing is done in two sections and in 25 kg craft paper bags
(palletized) and in 25 kg cartons (on a steel pallet/display). For fast operation
(preventing from cooling & hardening) in every section several taps are fixed
so that it can fill specific bag and carton with bitumen in same time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

under controlled temperature conditions. This process gives the bitumen more rubbery
properties than penetration or hard grade bitumen, and enables the product to serve
a variety of uses in industrial applications. These grades are suitable for sealing
saw cuts and joints where there is expected to be the minimum amount of moving in
the joint. Their wide temperature range prevents bleeding in high temperature applications.
They can also be used for industrial applications such as pipe coating, roofing,
waterproofing, flooring, mastics, sound damping, carpet backing, adhesive and electrical
applications.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
