Research and Piloting Biturox ® Research Facilities For more than 30 years the Biturox ® Research Centre is an excellently performing service provider to the whole industry, making or using bitumen. Up to date laboratory and semi-technical research and development facilities, analytical methods of newest standard and the backup of the nearby OMV refinery enabled and promoted Pörner‘s efforts to stock-up the most comprehensive expertise on bitumen making world-wide. Two Biturox ® pilot plants are available for practical testing of feedstock or composition of several components in batch or continuous operating mode. The results of pilot tests are used as design basis for Biturox ® plants (i.e. reactor rating). Reference samples can be produced from defined feed compositions ready for further applied testing by the client. All results of basic and applied research work, the experience gathered during design, construction, start-up and routine operation of the numerous Biturox ® plants, the information feedback from the Biturox ® licensees, the newest findings of the Biturox ® Enhancement Technique (chemical upgrading of bitumen) and, obviously, the performance reports on application of Biturox ® bitumen have been collected in a most comprehensive database. Target Many bitumen research institutes over-emphasise the significance of crude oil provenance and compositional classification, simultaneously neglecting to notice and to review the chances, which lie in the thermo-chemical modification of an almost unlimited palette of crude oil derived feedstock. The main objective of the Biturox ® Research Facilities is therefore, to find methods how to optimise the chemical composition of bitumen, namely reaction conditions, which promote the synthesis of polar, aromatic compounds and suppress the decomposition of asphaltenes to coke. But finally the goals of the said efforts have to be to satisfy the market demand for bitumen qualities with outstanding and superior application characteristics at a reasonable low price. Desired characteristics Fatique resistance Ability for emulsion Stiffness Good short- and long-term aging properties Compatibility with polymers Problems to solve Chemical composition Life time Cracking at low temperatures Rutting at high temperatures Optimise adhesive properties Stability Result The Biturox ® technology is a representative example how applied and scientific research can be conducted effectively, rewarding and to the benefit of many people, driving on good roads, living in comfortable accommodations and both under cost-saving conditions.

Project realization The Pörner Group is, as documented in this brochure, the most experienced bitumen plant designer and constructor worldwide. The volume of data in the electronic files is the basis for an expedient and cost-saving project realisation in every single step. The table below gives a general overview of the scope and steps of the realisation of a “turn-key grass-root” project: • Preliminary studies, information & data collection • Feasibility study • Evaluation of raw material, laboratory & pilot-plant testing • Evaluation of the technical, commercial, legal and ecological conditions • Presentation of the recommendations to and acknowledgement by the client • Action planning, scheduling, project cost assessment • Chemical, mechanical, civil basic and detail engineering • Approval of the final project documents by the client and by the supervising authorities • Procurement & logistics of equipment and material • Engagement and supervision of contractors • General on-site supervision of the construction work • Project progress reporting and documentation • Commission of the completed plant • Presentation of the plant and operation manuals to the client • Test run & staff training • Project post-completion auditing and services Biturox ® ESHA, Amsterdam, Netherlands From Lab Tests to Turn Key Realization Pörner has learned a lot about bitumen in more than 35 years. Make advantage not to repeat any mistake from which Pörner has learned in three decades of plant construction! With Pörner the world of Biturox ® bitumen is yours. 9 9
