Laboratory Test Request

Asphalt Testing from Heavy Oil

Project Description

MULTIPLE TESTS

Oil Laboratory needed for testing asphalt from a heavy oil (14.5 API) sample using both classification:
1- Penetration+Viscosity
2- Performance grade

Here I present a list of tests I believe we need to do, let me know your thoughts about this.
In order to know the oil volume I need sent you, I am assuming that to do all these tests, you will need about of 2 litres of Vacuum Residual, which means 1.1 gal of crude ( 47% yield), please confirm.

After that and if the result of these tests shows that the asphalt need to be upgraded, then we could think in a modify process possible with polymers.

Thank you
