Ensuring that asphalt meets regulatory norms like ASTM. AASHTO, DIN, and EN-while reducing emissions related to its production and use-is a win-win. Real-time in-line viscosity monitoring and control of asphalt from production in refineries to final loading at the terminal for transport to the paving site improves bottom-line and protects personnel. Cost reduction and safety improvements are achieved through optimizing the use of solvents & modifiers to achieve fit-for-purpose asphalt mixture. The measuring process creates zero emissions and can be done completely in-line without need for off-line grab samples. A resonant sensor based in-line viscometer takes viscosity measurements into the digital world in tune with modern road design and enables real-time management of bitumen properties across the complete asphalt life cycle. |
