„<strong>Bitumen</strong> is a black,<br />
sticky and, when hot,<br />
smelling material.“<br />
The world of today and tomorrow needs more and<br />
better roads...<br />
Roads have to be inexpensive both in construction and maintenance. In the same sense, they have to proof<br />
maximum durability. And finally, used road paving material should be easily and completely reprocessable<br />
and reusable.<br />
Bituminous binders of highest quality, as a component of road pavement formulations, meet all the criteria<br />
listed above. Furthermore, they perform excellently under extreme climatic conditions and thus can stand<br />
heaviest traffic loads. Under these aspects, bitumen production presents itself as an increasingly attractive<br />
and profitable sector of downstream business.<br />

Refineries need more than only crude processing<br />
Today’s petroleum product marketers are more often confronted with the need to supply top bitumen binder<br />
qualities to the construction industry at a reasonable price level. Another business-line of interest is the chemical<br />
specialities industry. Frequently an initial bitumen business is the key-opener for new valuable business<br />
relations in the field of premium lubricants, fuels, process products etc.<br />
The main effort of any large-scale refinery in the world is to produce million of tons of fast moving products<br />
(e.g. gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, feedstocks for the petrochemistry etc.) at the least possible overall costs.<br />
Mainly this goal is met by selecting the proper crude mix and using sophisticated refinery technology. This<br />
approach generally has the consequence that a straight production of high quality bitumen is impracticable.<br />
The name of the tool to optimally reconcile the market-demand for top-grade bitumen with the upstream cost<br />
controlling effort is<br />
