A. Bitumen Emulsion: Emulsion has a water content of around 37.50%; with a on site emulsion preparation plant, we end up saving transportation cost of 37.50% of water content, which in other case we pay. Secondly with the state of art laboratory we can be sure of the quality of product being used for road construction. Thirdly, any possibility of material quality being compromised in transit is avoided.
B. Blown Bitumen VG40 & Modified Bitumen: The mixing temperature of VG40 & Modified bitumen is 160 to 175º C. With bitumen being converted on site, we can give final product at 170 Deg.C., thus saving a lot of money in terms of heating cost involved for taking feed stock into the HMP, as compared to sourced from third party directly, wherein the temperature of the product shall be around 120 Deg. C. It shall take atleast 6 hours of heating to attain temperature of 160 to 175 De. C. thus saving valuable time and also quality of product which otherwise might get affected due to reheating. Also the refineries produce VG40 grades only on demand, which has to be lifted immediately; but with onsite conversion we can have the flexibility of producing as per requirement.
Thus with on site bitumen modification unit, the quality and timely availability of product is also achieved.
