OVERVIEW
Bitumen is produced from selected crude oils through a process of fractional distillation. The crude oil is heated to temperatures of between 300
and 350 degrees Celsius and fed into a distillation column allowing the lightest fractions of the crude to separate, through vaporization, from the
heavier fractions, which remain liquid. The higher boiling point fractions are then drawn-off via a heat exchanger and enter a vacuum distillation
column. This process produces a “short residue” that is used to manufacture several grades of bitumen. The pressure and temperature conditions
within the vacuum process will determine the hardness of the short residue, and as such the grade of bitumen produced. The short residue may be
further modified by ‘air blowing’ in which air is passed through the residue at temperatures of 250 – 300 degrees Celsius.
Penetration Grade Determination
The Penetration Test determines the hardness of Bitumen by measuring the depth (in tenths of a mm) to which a standard, and loaded needle will
vertically penetrate in 5 seconds, a sample of Bitumen maintained at a temperature of 25°C. Hence the softer the bitumen, the greater will be its
number of penetration units.

PRODUCTS| FOR ASPHALT WORKS
Cutback Bitumen
Cutback Bitumen (Liquid Bitumen) is Bitumen that is dissolved in a solvent . Typical solvents include
Naptha, gasoline and kerosene, white spirit etc. The type of solvent controls the curing time while
the amount determines the viscosity of the Cutback Bitumen.
The advantage Cutbacks have over Emulsions is a much higher residual Bitumen percent, typically
over 80% compares with over 40-65% for Bitumen emulsions. The result is more Bitumen left on the
roadway after curing, for the same volume of binder applied.
Cutback Classification
Cutbacks are divided into two classifications,
Rapid-Curing (RC) and Medium-Curing (MC)
depending on the solvent used.
They are further defined by a number
which indicates the minimum kinematic
viscosity(fluidity) of the cutback.

Bitumen Emulsion
Bitumen emulsions generally belong to the oil-in-water type of
emulsions where bitumen is dispersed in water with the aid of a small
quantity of emulsifying agent. The agent stabilises the bitumen particles
under normal conditions of storage. Bitumen emulsions derive their main
use in road construction and maintenance because of their safety, ease in
handling and excellent adhesion properties.
Advantages
The advantage of water based bitumen emulsion is that it allows bitumen, which is
semi-solid unless heated, to be handled and applied at low temperatures. Following
application of an emulsion, it undergoes a ‘breaking’ or ‘setting’ process where the
bitumen droplets combine to deposit the bitumen on the paving aggregate as a film.
By contrast, cutback bitumen contains a significant proportion of cutter (kerosene), to
reduce the viscosity of the bitumen and help coat the aggregates. The cutter must then
evaporate before the bitumen is left behind as a film on the stone. This evaporation process
can take many months. If the cutter is still present when the final surfacing is applied, this can
result in flushing of the pavement and resultant loss of surface texture and skid resistance.

Type & Grades of Emulsions
The emulsion type refers to the nature
of the mechanism used to stabilise the
emulsion. Emulsions generally fall into
either cationic or anionic types. The
grade relates to the degree of mixing
stability. Grades within each type can be
modified with regard to the nature of the
base bitumen and rate of ‘break’ or ‘set’
(deposition of bitumen droplets in contact
with mineral aggregates) depending on the
specific application requirement.

OXIDISED BITUMEN
OXIDIZED BITUMEN
Industrial bitumens (or oxidized bitumens) are made by blowing air through hot paving grade bitumen.
The so-called blowing process results in harder bitumen that softens at a higher temperature
than that at which paving grade bitumen softens. Industrial bitumens also have more rubber-like
properties and their viscosities are much less affected by changes in temperature than is the case
with paving grade bitumen. Hard bitumen under controlled temperature conditions is widely used
as an anti-slip layer compound in the piling industry, for manufacture of roofing felts, the roofing and
waterproofing industries, for sound dampening felts and under carriage sealant in
the automotive industry, electric cable joint protection, joint filling compound, sealant compound
and many others. Also used in sealing saw cuts and joints where expected movements are minimum.
Some of the major advantages of Oxidized Bitumen are that it is completely water resistant,
highly flexible and durable. Further, it is chemically very stable. Oxidized bitumen is a very flexible
compound that is not only chemically stable but also a very durable compound apart from being
completely water resistant. Lastly, Oxidized Bitumen has some very prominent technical advantages
that makes it a very sought after compound in various applications.
The most popular grades are; grades 95/25, 85/25, 90/40, and 115/15.
We are also capable of producing and supplying other grades of Oxidized Bitumen according to the
specifications of individual clients.
Uses & Applications
Oxidized Bitumen high softening
temperatures qualify them as excellent
sealant for prevention from bleeding in high
temperature applications. Oxidized Bitumen
is predominantly used in the piling industry
as an anti slip compound for the manufacture
of under carriage sealants in the automobile
industry. It is also used as a sealant
compound, as a joint filling compound
apart from being used in the manufacture
of roofing felts and sound dampening felts.
Further, Oxidized Bitumen is used in the
manufacture of bituminous marine mastic,
which is required for the oil and gas pipeline
joints. Some of the application of the
oxidized bitumen are as follows
•	 roofing and waterproofing industries
•	 carpet-backing
•	 corrosion protection
•	 acoustic panels
•	 manufacture of paints

TANKER | BULK SUPPLY
Bitumen Tanker availability on some Global Markets is quite tight and insufficient vessels are
available, however making use of our good network of ship owners, tanker operators and our
integrated own shipping team will assist our clients to materialize bulk supplies. The company also
has strong relationships with many refiners of bitumen both small and large throughout the world
and is therefore able to offer a wide range of supply solutions.
Our shipping team ensures best freight rates for voyage charters or time charters and will assist our
clients to meet their Bitumen requisitions. Bulk bitumen cargoes can be supplied in tankers ranging
in size between 1,000 and 8,000 metric tons. We can supply on a Delivered ex-Ship, CIF, C&F or
FOB basis depending on the customer’s needs. While most deliveries by tanker will be direct into
a tank terminal, we can arrange for discharge into trucks if a terminal with pipeline connection to a
jetty is not available.
Our quality assurance team will implement and engage appropriate quality control measures to
maintain the quality of the bitumen shipped throughout the voyage so that our clients may receive
quality bitumen at their destination terminals. In bulk shipments we appoint internationally reputed
inspection company to carry out Bitumen quality inspections and certifications for the clients from
point of loading to point of delivery.
Thanks to our wide range of contacts we endeavour to offer supply of bitumen complying with the
client’s local specifications rather than delivering a generic grade. In order to support this service
we can arrange testing and analysis of bitumen prior to conclusion of a contract in order to ensure
that the product will meet customer requirements.
Factors affecting Ocean Freight Rates
Understanding ocean freight rates and the
ways and means of its applicability is important
because if a shipper undertakes to transport
the goods without proper knowledge, then he
could end up making a huge loss. The following
are the factors affecting ocean freight rates
1.	 Intended destination: The destination is
a factor when calculating ocean freight
rates. Longer the journey, the exorbitant
the ocean shipping rates and vice-versa
as mostly the Bitumen vessel after
discharging returns empty to the source.
2.	 Service Charges: Any extra charge
levied by port authorities like the security
service charges also tends to affect the
ocean freight rate
3.	 Season: During monsoon season
thedemand for Bitumen is low and the
vessel’s are ideal, hence the vessel owner
or operator try to recover costing during
the peak season.
4.	 Terminal Fees: The ocean freight also
depends on the terminal fees to be
paid while embarking the journey from
a port and after reaching the intended
destination.
5.	 Bunker Price: Rising fuel prices and the
latest prevailing fuel rates will affect the
freight charges
6.	 Vessel Capacity: If the shipper does not
have enough goods to fill the vessel to
their optimum capacity, it will affect the
freight charges by way of the shipper
having to pay more in spite of lesser
quantity

PACKING |
POLYBAG/BITUBAG
The Bag is a self-stabilizing flexible container made of an outer plastic bag and an inner liner. The
bag is designed to carry road paving or industrial bitumen, taking into account of the visco-elastic
flow characteristics at (solid) storage and transport conditions. While filling the bags the bitumen is
exactly cooled down to a temperature slightly higher than the softening point of the bitumen and
lower than the melting point of the plastic material of the container.
It is suitable for packing in liquid condition at ideal product temperature. The inner liner bag is made
of a meltable plastic film. Bag volume and shape are designed for maximum loading of normal
seagoing standard containers and road trucks. This mode of packing allows economical supply of
any volumes (from a few tons to hundreds of thousand tons) and reaching the end-consumer
Advantages:
•	 reduction of logistics costs up to 40%
•	 feasible and economical for any quantities (from several tons up to hundred thousands of tons)
•	 “soft” bitumen grades (road paving bitumen) packed in flexible, easy-to-handle, plastic

POLYBAG/BITUBAG | STEEL DRUMS | ISO CONTAINER/ BITUTAINER
ISO Container / Bitutainer
These are essentially containers designed for shipment of bitumen in larger
quantities and in containerized form. In certain locations, such as developing
countries or in small islands where bulk bitumen receiving facilities do not exist
supply of bitumen in an ocean tanker is not possible. The needs of customers in
such locations can be met using ISO tank containers with a capacity of 20 MT.
Supply in Containers usually requires the customer to commit to receiving bitumen
on an on-going basis because of the need to set up facilities for the discharge of
the containers. Typically tonnage might range from 20 MT - 500 MT per month
depending on location and the customer’s needs. Projects which require large
volumes in a short period can be accommodated using a combination of supply
by tanker into bitumen containers, temporary storage in portable tanks or a
bitumen barge for example. Again, our focus is on accommodating the customer’s
needs in the most efficient manner. All containers meet all International Maritime
rules, regulations and classifications and are certified by Lloyds or other
internationally accepted certifying bodies for containers used in International
Maritime Containerized Shipments. All Bitumen Containers supplied are highly
isolated and ensure the quality of the Bitumen transported and or stored in them
is maintained throughout the operations they are intended for.
FAQ on typical Bitutainers
Q: Are Bitutainers supplied with heating and handling equipment included?
A.No, Bitutainers are supplied with factory installed heater tubes but Burner Sets
and other equipment is not included.
Q: What are the heating options?
A.Three options; Direct Fire Diesel or LPG Burners, inserting electric elements into
the direct fire heating tubes or by using Thermal Oil from an existing circuit. Direct
Fire heating is the most popular option.
Q: How long does it take to heat a full Bitutainer?
A.Typically it will take 10-11 hours to heat a full Bitutainer (using a 2001tr of diesel)
from ambient (approx. 200C) to pumping temperate (approx. 1400C).
Q: Can 40ft Bitutainer be transported full?
A.No, 40ft Bitutainers are for storage only. They are not designed or certified for
transportation full of product.
Q: Do Bitutainers ship as standard containers?
A.Yes, they are shipped as standard CSC plated containers
Q: Are Bitutainers suitable for all grades of Bitumen?
A: Yes, Bitutainers are suitable for all grades of bitumen, PMBs and heavy fuel oils.
The exception is Coal Tar due to the higher temperatures required for discharge
and transfer.

The crude oil is heated to temperatures of between 300 and 350 degrees Celsius and fed into a distillation column allowing the lightest fractions of the crude to separate, through vaporization, from the heavier fractions, which remain liquid. The higher boiling point fractions are then drawn-off via a heat exchanger and enter a vacuum distillation column. This process produces a “short residue” that is used to manufacture several grades of bitumen. The pressure and temperature conditions within the vacuum process will determine the hardness of the short residue, and as such the grade of bitumen produced. The short residue may be further modified by ‘air blowing’ in which air is passed through the residue at temperatures of 250 – 300 degrees Celsius. Penetration Grade Determination The Penetration Test determines the hardness of Bitumen by measuring the depth (in tenths of a mm) to which a standard, and loaded needle will vertically penetrate in 5 seconds, a sample of Bitumen maintained at a temperature of 25°C. Hence the softer the bitumen, the greater will be its number of penetration units. 4 | Bitumen Brochure ROYAL PETRO ENERGY

  • 6. PRODUCTS| FOR ASPHALT WORKS Cutback Bitumen Cutback Bitumen (Liquid Bitumen) is Bitumen that is dissolved in a solvent . Typical solvents include Naptha, gasoline and kerosene, white spirit etc. The type of solvent controls the curing time while the amount determines the viscosity of the Cutback Bitumen. The advantage Cutbacks have over Emulsions is a much higher residual Bitumen percent, typically over 80% compares with over 40-65% for Bitumen emulsions. The result is more Bitumen left on the roadway after curing, for the same volume of binder applied. Cutback Classification Cutbacks are divided into two classifications, Rapid-Curing (RC) and Medium-Curing (MC) depending on the solvent used. They are further defined by a number which indicates the minimum kinematic viscosity(fluidity) of the cutback.

  • 7. Bitumen Emulsion Bitumen emulsions generally belong to the oil-in-water type of emulsions where bitumen is dispersed in water with the aid of a small quantity of emulsifying agent. The agent stabilises the bitumen particles under normal conditions of storage. Bitumen emulsions derive their main use in road construction and maintenance because of their safety, ease in handling and excellent adhesion properties. Advantages The advantage of water based bitumen emulsion is that it allows bitumen, which is semi-solid unless heated, to be handled and applied at low temperatures. Following application of an emulsion, it undergoes a ‘breaking’ or ‘setting’ process where the bitumen droplets combine to deposit the bitumen on the paving aggregate as a film. By contrast, cutback bitumen contains a significant proportion of cutter (kerosene), to reduce the viscosity of the bitumen and help coat the aggregates. The cutter must then evaporate before the bitumen is left behind as a film on the stone. This evaporation process can take many months. If the cutter is still present when the final surfacing is applied, this can result in flushing of the pavement and resultant loss of surface texture and skid resistance.

The so-called blowing process results in harder bitumen that softens at a higher temperature than that at which paving grade bitumen softens. Industrial bitumens also have more rubber-like properties and their viscosities are much less affected by changes in temperature than is the case with paving grade bitumen. Hard bitumen under controlled temperature conditions is widely used as an anti-slip layer compound in the piling industry, for manufacture of roofing felts, the roofing and waterproofing industries, for sound dampening felts and under carriage sealant in the automotive industry, electric cable joint protection, joint filling compound, sealant compound and many others. Also used in sealing saw cuts and joints where expected movements are minimum. Some of the major advantages of Oxidized Bitumen are that it is completely water resistant, highly flexible and durable. Further, it is chemically very stable. Oxidized bitumen is a very flexible compound that is not only chemically stable but also a very durable compound apart from being completely water resistant. Lastly, Oxidized Bitumen has some very prominent technical advantages that makes it a very sought after compound in various applications. The most popular grades are; grades 95/25, 85/25, 90/40, and 115/15. We are also capable of producing and supplying other grades of Oxidized Bitumen according to the specifications of individual clients. Uses & Applications Oxidized Bitumen high softening temperatures qualify them as excellent sealant for prevention from bleeding in high temperature applications. Oxidized Bitumen is predominantly used in the piling industry as an anti slip compound for the manufacture of under carriage sealants in the automobile industry. It is also used as a sealant compound, as a joint filling compound apart from being used in the manufacture of roofing felts and sound dampening felts. Further, Oxidized Bitumen is used in the manufacture of bituminous marine mastic, which is required for the oil and gas pipeline joints. Some of the application of the oxidized bitumen are as follows • roofing and waterproofing industries • carpet-backing • corrosion protection • acoustic panels • manufacture of paints 8 | Bitumen Brochure ROYAL PETRO ENERGY
  • 9. TANKER | BULK SUPPLY Bitumen Tanker availability on some Global Markets is quite tight and insufficient vessels are available, however making use of our good network of ship owners, tanker operators and our integrated own shipping team will assist our clients to materialize bulk supplies. The company also has strong relationships with many refiners of bitumen both small and large throughout the world and is therefore able to offer a wide range of supply solutions. Our shipping team ensures best freight rates for voyage charters or time charters and will assist our clients to meet their Bitumen requisitions. Bulk bitumen cargoes can be supplied in tankers ranging in size between 1,000 and 8,000 metric tons. We can supply on a Delivered ex-Ship, CIF, C&F or FOB basis depending on the customer’s needs. While most deliveries by tanker will be direct into a tank terminal, we can arrange for discharge into trucks if a terminal with pipeline connection to a jetty is not available. Our quality assurance team will implement and engage appropriate quality control measures to maintain the quality of the bitumen shipped throughout the voyage so that our clients may receive quality bitumen at their destination terminals. In bulk shipments we appoint internationally reputed inspection company to carry out Bitumen quality inspections and certifications for the clients from point of loading to point of delivery. Thanks to our wide range of contacts we endeavour to offer supply of bitumen complying with the client’s local specifications rather than delivering a generic grade. In order to support this service we can arrange testing and analysis of bitumen prior to conclusion of a contract in order to ensure that the product will meet customer requirements. Factors affecting Ocean Freight Rates Understanding ocean freight rates and the ways and means of its applicability is important because if a shipper undertakes to transport the goods without proper knowledge, then he could end up making a huge loss. The following are the factors affecting ocean freight rates 1. Intended destination: The destination is a factor when calculating ocean freight rates. Longer the journey, the exorbitant the ocean shipping rates and vice-versa as mostly the Bitumen vessel after discharging returns empty to the source. 2. Service Charges: Any extra charge levied by port authorities like the security service charges also tends to affect the ocean freight rate 3. Season: During monsoon season thedemand for Bitumen is low and the vessel’s are ideal, hence the vessel owner or operator try to recover costing during the peak season. 4. Terminal Fees: The ocean freight also depends on the terminal fees to be paid while embarking the journey from a port and after reaching the intended destination. 5. Bunker Price: Rising fuel prices and the latest prevailing fuel rates will affect the freight charges 6. Vessel Capacity: If the shipper does not have enough goods to fill the vessel to their optimum capacity, it will affect the freight charges by way of the shipper having to pay more in spite of lesser quantity 9ROYAL PETRO ENERGY Bitumen Brochure |
  • 10. PACKING | POLYBAG/BITUBAG The Bag is a self-stabilizing flexible container made of an outer plastic bag and an inner liner. The bag is designed to carry road paving or industrial bitumen, taking into account of the visco-elastic flow characteristics at (solid) storage and transport conditions. While filling the bags the bitumen is exactly cooled down to a temperature slightly higher than the softening point of the bitumen and lower than the melting point of the plastic material of the container. It is suitable for packing in liquid condition at ideal product temperature. The inner liner bag is made of a meltable plastic film. Bag volume and shape are designed for maximum loading of normal seagoing standard containers and road trucks. This mode of packing allows economical supply of any volumes (from a few tons to hundreds of thousand tons) and reaching the end-consumer Advantages: • reduction of logistics costs up to 40% • feasible and economical for any quantities (from several tons up to hundred thousands of tons) • “soft” bitumen grades (road paving bitumen) packed in flexible, easy-to-handle, plastic container • applicable for all climatic corrditions • environmentally friendly (in comparison to metal drums): inner liner is melted together with the bitumen, the outer plastic bag («2kg) is recyclable • high safety and stability during transport • long-term outdoor storage • can be transported by any means of conventional transportation (ships, containers, trucks, railways etc.) • dimensions concur with international transportation standards Storage & Handling Recommendations For normal operations storage temperature limits 1°C-50°C.

  • 11. POLYBAG/BITUBAG | STEEL DRUMS | ISO CONTAINER/ BITUTAINER ISO Container / Bitutainer These are essentially containers designed for shipment of bitumen in larger quantities and in containerized form. In certain locations, such as developing countries or in small islands where bulk bitumen receiving facilities do not exist supply of bitumen in an ocean tanker is not possible. The needs of customers in such locations can be met using ISO tank containers with a capacity of 20 MT. Supply in Containers usually requires the customer to commit to receiving bitumen on an on-going basis because of the need to set up facilities for the discharge of the containers. Typically tonnage might range from 20 MT - 500 MT per month depending on location and the customer’s needs. Projects which require large volumes in a short period can be accommodated using a combination of supply by tanker into bitumen containers, temporary storage in portable tanks or a bitumen barge for example. Again, our focus is on accommodating the customer’s needs in the most efficient manner. All containers meet all International Maritime rules, regulations and classifications and are certified by Lloyds or other internationally accepted certifying bodies for containers used in International Maritime Containerized Shipments. All Bitumen Containers supplied are highly isolated and ensure the quality of the Bitumen transported and or stored in them is maintained throughout the operations they are intended for. FAQ on typical Bitutainers Q: Are Bitutainers supplied with heating and handling equipment included? A.No, Bitutainers are supplied with factory installed heater tubes but Burner Sets and other equipment is not included. Q: What are the heating options? A.Three options; Direct Fire Diesel or LPG Burners, inserting electric elements into the direct fire heating tubes or by using Thermal Oil from an existing circuit. Direct Fire heating is the most popular option. Q: How long does it take to heat a full Bitutainer? A.Typically it will take 10-11 hours to heat a full Bitutainer (using a 2001tr of diesel) from ambient (approx. 200C) to pumping temperate (approx. 1400C). Q: Can 40ft Bitutainer be transported full? A.No, 40ft Bitutainers are for storage only. They are not designed or certified for transportation full of product. Q: Do Bitutainers ship as standard containers? A.Yes, they are shipped as standard CSC plated containers Q: Are Bitutainers suitable for all grades of Bitumen? A: Yes, Bitutainers are suitable for all grades of bitumen, PMBs and heavy fuel oils. The exception is Coal Tar due to the higher temperatures required for discharge and transfer. Handling Avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing and foodstuffs. Wash thoroughly after handling. Launder contaminated clothing prior to use; use good personal hygiene. This product is a hazardous substance when heated above I00°C. Storage: Keep product away from ignition sources such as heat, sparks and flame.
