AUTOMATION OF THE PROCESS OF BITUMEN PRODUCTION

One of the most important directions in field oil refining is rational use residues by involving them processes such as visbreaking, coking, de-asphalting, bitumen production. Petroleum used road construction, repair roads, airfields, industrial and civil construction (for manufacture roofing materials, for insulation pipelines from ground corrosion, preparation paint varnish materials). The quality petroleum a determining factor ensuring durability surfaces. To date, up to 70% produced Kazakhstan CIS countries do not meet assortment requirements modern market, this primarily concerns road, special purposes. decrease natural reserves difficulty obtaining high-quality processed raw materials at plants necessitates search new obtain binders given quality. process production, carried out on an scale, very complex, but now it has been sufficiently studied. However, approach study standpoint physico-chemical technology dispersed systems reveals aspects that allow us hope its further intensification. Due increasing volumes consumption expansion application bitumen, issue searching acute. promising deposits rocks are West Kazakhstan, where more than 50 with 152 million tons have discovered. extraction their acquired significant proportions, due insufficient knowledge imperfection processing technology. Until now, main attention matters oxidation paid state vapor–liquid system, calculations partial pressure volatile components system depending composition external conditions, which fundamental technological calculations. In case, represented multicomponent molecular solution, vapor-liquid interface considered flat, vapor above flat surface equal liquid phase. addition, all thermodynamic calculations, thermodynamically formed, leaving phase generation without attention.
