2022年12月20日 · Heating bitumen improves its adhesiveness, and simplifies transport and storage logistics by allowing it to flow more like a liquid. In this article, we will cover why bitumen is heated, what temperatures bitumen must be heated to, and how to …

2024年10月16日 · In all of these applications, heating is essential in rendering the bitumen into a useful state. In storage, tank heating keeps the product in a usable form, preventing it from turning into a waxy mixture. Bitumen is generally stored in tanks designed specifically for this purpose.

2023年10月17日 · For optimal performance, bitumen needs to be heated with a high level of precision and care in order to deliver productive results. Here are a few tips that can help with the process of effective bitumen heating. Hot bitumen should not be exposed to air.

Heating equipment of periodical asphalt mixing plant (AMP) bitumen batching system (BBS) shall be designed to maintain the same temperature of the binder in the whole BBS. This article presents the study of heat transfer in bitumen storage tanks and identifies the most important factors influencing on energy loss. The test showed

2025年3月11日 · The bitumen is actually heated by a heating tube which is W-shaped which has an automatic burner. For those looking to buy bitumen tanks, there are basically two options. You can either opt for a hot oil heated storage tank or a direct heating storage tank.

2014年5月22日 · Heating equipment of periodical asphalt mixing plant (AMP) bitumen batching system (BBS) shall be designed to maintain the same temperature of the binder in the whole BBS. This article...

Direct heating bitumen tanks are the backbone of many industries, providing a straightforward yet effective method for heating bitumen. These tanks work on a simple principle that ensures direct heating of the bitumen without the need for additional heating media.

2024年4月4日 · With regard to melting bitumen, heating can be used. Specifically, there are the following ways: Hot air heating, the heater is placed on top of the bitumen, through the hot air to achieve the purpose of dissolution. Steam heating, put the bitumen in the heating equipment, through the steam to make it heated, the bitumen will gradually dissolve.

Hot oil heated bitumen tanks heat bitumen through thermal oil, which is heated by a hot oil boiler. Circulation of the heated thermal oil is carried out within the bundle of pipes inside the bitumen tank. This type of bitumen tank is the most widely used in the construction sector. These tanks can be produced in horizontal and vertical types.

2019年4月24日 · Usually, bitumen in the storage tank is heated by a thermal fluid called Therminol, having an inlet temperature of 180 °C, flows through tube bank present inside the storage tank. Therminol is heated by the fire-tube boiler. Thus, an effective heat exchanging system in the bitumen storage tank is crucial.
