Description

Residues (Oil Sand), Atm. Tower is a complex hydrocarbon mixture derived from the atmospheric distillation of oil sands bitumen. This material is a critical intermediate in the heavy oil upgrading and refining process, representing the heavier fraction separated in the primary atmospheric tower. It is primarily utilized by refineries and petrochemical operations seeking feedstocks for further conversion into valuable fuels and materials. Key industries that rely on this product include heavy oil upgrading, asphalt production, and specialized carbon black manufacturing.

Application

• Feedstock for Coking Units: Serves as a primary feed for delayed coking or fluid coking to produce lighter distillates and petroleum coke.
• Asphalt and Binder Production: Used as a base component or modifier in the manufacturing of paving asphalts and industrial roofing materials.
• Heavy Fuel Oil Blending: Blended into marine fuels or industrial fuel oils to meet specific viscosity and density specifications.
• Carbon Black Feedstock: Provides a heavy aromatic feedstock for the production of carbon black used in tires and rubber products.
• Gasification Feedstock: Can be used as a feed for syngas production in integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plants.
• Further Upgrading: Subjected to hydrocracking or hydrotreating processes to yield higher-value middle distillates.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with refinery feedstock specifications. Key parameters are monitored against agreed-upon technical data sheets. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing critical properties such as density, viscosity, sulfur content, and Conradson Carbon Residue are available upon request for every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, organic solvents, and strong oxidizing agents. Due to its viscous nature, maintain storage temperatures as specified to ensure pumpability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
