Modified Bitumen Collection Tank USB-4 (15)

Modified bitumen is used in road and civil construction for:

  • preparation of asphalt-concrete mixtures;
  • production of asphalt mastics;
  • filling deformation joints on bridges;
  • filling cracks on asphalt concrete pavements;
  • sealing courts for collection of household and other wastes.

GlobeCore manufactures USB-4 storage tank for companies in road construction and repair, waterproofing buildings as well as soft roofing. USB-4 (15) is a heat-insulated tank designed for storage of polymer modified bitumen.

Components of modified bitumen storage tank USB-4

Modified bitumen storage tank USB-4 consists of:

  • bladed agitator with drive;
  • heat-exchanger for keeping the required temperature of bitumen;
  • emergency overflow pipeline;
  • isolation valves for inflow and outflow (drainage) of bitumen;
  • isolation valves for inflow and outflow of heat transfer agent;
  • inspection manholes and maintenance ladders;
  • control cabinet.

Control cabinet controls such parameters as temperature and bitumen level in the tank. If bitumen exceeds the set level, a special sensor activates an alarm.

Advantages of modified bitumen storage tank USB-4:

  • reduced heat loss due to tank design with cone bottom;
  • transportation of 2 storage tanks in one 20 ton semi-trailer truck with interior space dimensions 2,45 m х 2,6 m х 13,6 m;
  • shape of roof prevents rain water accumulation;
  • overflow pipeline prevents spillage of hot bitumen in emergency situations;
  • level monitoring of tank filling with bitumen by membrane pressure sensor;
  • bitumen temperature is controlled by two shell cases with temperature sensors inside a tank;
  • sensor readings are displayed on control cabinet screen.

At customer’s request, GlobeCore experts can develop and produce equipment for bitumen base facilities.
