Description

Unlike conventional crude oil‭, ‬bitumen does not flow freely‭: ‬it is heavier than water and more viscous than molasses‭. ‬Most of the hydrocarbons in bitumen are heavier than pentane‭, ‬and about half are very heavy molecules with a boiling point over **5‮!‬‭ ‬C‭. ‬The light fractions are high in naphthenes‭ (‬used in making gasoline and PETROCHEMICALS‭); ‬the heavy fractions are high in asphaltenes‭ (‬used in making asphalt‭). ‬Bitumen also contains up to 5%‭ ‬sulphur by weight‭, ‬and small amounts of oxygen‭, ‬heavy metals and other contaminants‭. ‬ Most deposits contain mixtures of bitumen‭, ‬sand‭, ‬water‭, ‬small amounts of heavy metals and other contaminants‭. ‬In its natural state‭, ‬bitumen is suitable only for paving roads‭. ‬Compared to conventional crude oil‭, ‬bitumen contains too much carbon and too little hydrogen‭. ‬In making synthetic crude oil‭, ‬special refining processes are used to remove impurities and correct the carbon-hydrogen imbalance‭. ‬Most Canadian refineries require this type of feedstock‭. ‬To deliver bitumen to those refineries equipped to handle heavy crude oil‭, ‬it must first be diluted with natural gas condensate or similar material to make it pumpable‭.‬ Bitumen For Road SARTITAN is a trusted supplier of Penetration grade Bitumen‭.‬ SARTITAN can supply fresh bitumen at different grades‭ (‬*0/*0‭) - ( ‬*0/*0‭) - (‬*0/**0‭ ) - (‬*5/**0‭) ‬as bulk‭, ‬or steel drums and poly-bag‭.‬ SARTITAN can deliver fresh Bitumen as CIF to clients discharge ports around the world‭. ‬Our CIF services are only for the package of new steel drums‭ (‬**0/**0‭ ‬Kg‭) ‬and *5/*5‭ ‬Kg Poly-bag‭. ‬But for bulk orders we prefer to supply our quantities on FOB basis and we prefer to deal directly with buyers whom can arrange vessels to handle the shipping‭.‬
