Asphalt clean binder is simply the residue from petroleum refining, and to achieve the necessary properties for paving purposes, binder must be produced from a carefully chosen crude oil blend and processed to an appropriate grade.
Asphalt base and binders’ mixes are a coarser grade of blacktop containing a higher percentage of larger stones. Protecting your asphalt investment from deterioration is the key to keeping an attractive parking lot or driveway. The first asphalt paving maintenance issue to be aware of is ravelling. When the binder, which acts as a glue, that is used to hold the stone and sand particles that make up the asphalt, starts deteriorating, this is called paving.
Designer Fuels, LLC combines a high-tech portfolio, including ground-breaking low-temperature, low-pressure atomization and reverse condensation technologies, with a closed-loop, zero-emission refining process to convert heavy crude oil feedstock to asphalt binder and light crude oil at a lower cost than conventional refineries.
Asphalt clean binder is most commonly graded based on physical properties, which are heavily influenced by temperature. An asphalt binder's physical properties directly describe how it will perform as a constituent in an asphalt concrete pavement. Asphalt binder penetrations and viscosity grading are still commonly used worldwide. New binder tests and specifications were developed to more accurately characterise asphalt binders for use in AC pavements.
The Designer fuel modular oil refinery has the best features and benefits, such as:
-
It is the most cost-effective refining solution, with lower capex and installed costs than conventional refineries, as well as lower operating costs due to a fully automated process that does not require expensive catalysts, toxic solvents, or hygrogen.
-
Safe low pressure and low temperature operation with crude oil feedstock is refined at lower temperatures and safer, lower operating pressures, compared to conventional oil refineries.
-
It requires less than 25% of the land/property with the smallest footprint.
-
It also combines asphalt and light crude oil to produce a high-quality asphalt binder, and LCO technology has been proven in a commercial demonstration facility.
-
Designer Fuel LLC's proprietary technology incorporates cutting-edge low temperature, low pressure atomization and reverse condensation technologies within a closed loop, zero emission refining process to convert heavy crude oil feedstock to asphalt binder and light crude oil at a lower cost than conventional refineries.
