Bitumen Production Line
Production of road-grade and insulation bitumen from heavy distillation residues using high-temperature heating reactors, optional air-oxidation systems, and heated storage tanks.
Project Concept
Producing bitumen for roads or insulation from heavy distillation residues.
Project Overview
Bitumen is a strategic material for road paving, waterproofing, and infrastructure. Local production from heavy residues reduces imports and directly supports national infrastructure development.
Main Components
Key equipment and units that make up the production line
Heavy Material Heating Reactor
Air Oxidation System (optional)
Heat Exchanger
Bitumen Gear Pumps
Heated Storage Tanks
Operating Cycle
Cycle duration: 8–12 hours per cycle
- 1Feed heavy residue into the heating reactor
- 2Heat to 280–350 °C
- 3Optionally, inject air for oxidation (blown bitumen grades)
- 4Transfer via gear pumps through heat exchanger
- 5Store in heated tanks to maintain flowability
- 6Load into tankers or drums for dispatch
Input / Output Ratios
Approximate production yields at different capacities
| Capacity | Raw Input | Bitumen Yield |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ton | 1 ton residue | 95% |
| 10 tons | 10 tons | 96% |
| 50 tons | 50 tons | 97% |
| 100 tons | 100 tons | 97% |
Project Advantages
Uses low-cost residue as feedstock
High output yield (95–97%)
Strong demand from road construction sector
Scalable design
