How is the temperature and viscosity of emulsified bitumen equipment controlled during production?

Precautions during the production of emulsified bitumen equipment. How much do you know about this information? Let’s learn more about it:
When the emulsified bitumen equipment is in production, the viscosity of the bitumen decreases with the increase of temperature. For every 12℃ increase, its dynamic viscosity decreases by about one time. During production, the base bitumen should be heated to liquid state before emulsification. In addition, in order to adapt to the emulsification capacity of the colloid mill, the base bitumen dynamic viscosity is generally controlled to be about 200cst. The lower the temperature, the higher the viscosity, which increases the burden on the bitumen pump and the colloid mill, making it difficult to emulsify; but on the other hand, in order to prevent the demulsification caused by excessive vaporization and evaporation of water in the finished product during the production of emulsified bitumen, it is impossible to heat the base bitumen temperature too high. Generally, the finished product temperature at the outlet of the colloid mill should be controlled to be less than 85℃.

    Water is one of the raw materials of the modified asphalt storage tank, and it is distributed in various components of the modified asphalt storage tank equipment. According to the components where water is distributed, the anti-cold measures are explained one by one. The water tank of the modified asphalt storage tank, the water inside the water tank is released through the filter valve. Some instruments of the modified asphalt storage tank do not have a filter valve to save the cost of the equipment. The modified asphalt storage tank can only be drained by loosening the flange bolts at the bottom. The water pump of the modified asphalt storage tank mentioned here includes a hot water pump and a circulating water pump. This type of water pump for the modified asphalt storage tank generally uses a pipeline centrifugal pump. There is a sewage outlet at the bottom of the pipeline centrifugal pump. The modified asphalt storage tank pays attention to the sewage treatment of the sewage outlet at the bottom of the pump. The modified asphalt storage tank emulsion tank generally uses a cone bottom. However, in order to better process the modified asphalt storage tank coefficient, the inlet and outlet are usually not placed at the bottom of the modified asphalt storage tank. Emulsion (mostly water) will remain at the bottom of the tank, and this part of the residual liquid in the modified asphalt storage tank must be discharged through the filter valve at the bottom. Emulsion pump for modified asphalt storage tank There are basically two types of emulsion pumps for modified asphalt storage tank equipment on the market, gear pumps or centrifugal water pumps. Gear pumps can only discharge the liquid inside the pump through the connection flange of the pipeline. The centrifugal water pump for modified asphalt storage tanks uses its own sewage outlet for sewage treatment. The first four items of modified asphalt storage tanks with basic knowledge are basically discharged, and the modified asphalt storage tanks will focus on the latter types. Modified asphalt storage tank colloid mill There will also be residual emulsion or water inside the modified asphalt storage tank colloid mill. The gap between the stator and rotor of the colloid mill is within 1mm. If there is a little residual water in the modified asphalt storage tank, it will cause the accident of frozen modified asphalt storage tank. The residue in the colloid mill can be treated by loosening the connection bolts of the finished product pipeline.
