Reconstruction of bitumen workshops of enterprises

The "EBT” ("BitumTech") company reconstructs bitumen workshops for enterprises whose activities are related to storage, preparation and use of this material. If you would like to order the service, feel free to contact the company's specialists by phone or e-mail and you will receive a full consultation with preliminary calculations of the work costs.

Why is reconstruction necessary?

Any enterprise needs renovation. If we are talking about a complete modernization and technical re-equipment of the enterprise, then the process is usually called reconstruction. Equipment wear and tear, the emergence of modern technologies that make the processes of storing, preparing and using bitumen less costly economically - all this leads to the necessity and inevitability of upgrading the enterprise.

Very often the reconstruction of bitumen workshop is carried out in stages in order to minimize interference in production processes. The reconstruction of the shop is carried out by sections with the replacement of equipment in strict order. That is why zonal reconstruction or nodal technology is used.

Reconstruction of any shop should begin with planning documentation. Prior to its execution, it is necessary to fully inspect the territory of the enterprise, conduct an energy survey, so that in the future the operation of the bitumen shop would be more efficient at the lowest financial cost.

Stages of reconstruction

When reconstructing the bitumen plant, it is necessary to provide for a number of factors that will determine the efficiency and convenience of storage, dewatering, heating and further preparation of bitumen for use.

1. Automation of processes. It is necessary for the efficient operation of the workshop, to reduce costs and risks associated with the violation of technologies of storage and preparation of materials;
2. Thermal insulation of bitumen tanks or pipelines - will serve to reduce heat loss and control the temperature of the tanks;
3. Architectural supervision of construction. Control over compliance with all parameters laid down in the project during the reconstruction of an object;
4. Selection and placement of process equipment. New modern equipment and technologies will make production processes related to bitumen storage, preparation and transportation more efficient.

A correctly selected process scheme will optimize plant costs while increasing efficiency.

Why is it so important to reconstruct bitumen plants?

There are many reasons for this:

• Elimination of all possible equipment malfunctions;
• Modernization and re-equipment;
• Expansion of the plant and its production capacity;
• Plant redesign, increasing operational efficiency;
• Organization of the right conditions that are suitable for this specialization (high-quality thermal insulation, etc.).

Reconstruction, planned and executed at a professional level, will allow the enterprise to achieve high efficiency and reliability at each stage of work, reduce the risk of equipment failure, and therefore extend the service life of the equipment.

Specialists of “EBT” ("BitumTech") LLC provide assistance and perform “turnkey” works on reconstruction of bitumen shops. The list of works performed includes:

1. Development of a technological project for reconstruction of bitumen storage and preparation shops, preparation of bitumen-containing products, including:

- development of technological and hydraulic schemes of bitumen shops and bases;

- energy calculations of process equipment, communication lines, complex systems and individual processes of bitumen heating and transportation;

- development of recommendations on the selection of heating elements and their individual parameters;

- design of master plans for the placement of bitumen storage and heating equipment complex;

- development of technological maps of the production process and recommendations for optimizing existing technology.

2. Design and manufacture of standard and unique equipment for storage and heating of bitumen, including:

- design and manufacture of horizontal and vertical tanks for storage and primary heating of bitumen - above-ground bitumen storage facilities;

- design and manufacture of tanks for intensive heating of binder - intensive heating tanks;

- design and manufacture of equipment for storage of polymer-bitumen binder with mixing devices;
