1. iNTRODUCTION Bitumen manufactured is from crude oil. Bitumen is obtained as the last residue in fractional distillation of crude petroleum. Crude petroleum is a mixture hydrocarbons of of FIELD STORAGE different molecular weights. In the petroleum refineries the individual components like LPG, naphtha, Kerosene, Diesel etc. are separated through the process of fractional distillation. Refinery Operation PUMPING STATION The heaviest material obtained from the fractional distillation process is further treated and blended to make different grades of paving grade bitumen.

The choice of process would depend on the availability of suitable crude, demand of the end products and total commercial viability of the complete refining process. Definition: Bitumen is defined as “A viscous liquid, or a solid, consisting essentially of hydrocarbons and their derivatives, which is soluble in trichloro-ethyelene and is substantially nonvolatile and softens gradually when heated. It is black or brown in colour & posseses waterproofing and adhesive properties. It is obtained by refinery processes from petroleum, and is also found as a natural deposit or as a component of naturally occurring asphalt, in which it is associated with mineral matte. 1
