STAND-ALONE VLSFO/MGO PRODUCTION FACILITY

THE UPGRADING OF HSFO TO VLSFO  WITH ZERO WASTE

VIA AN INDEPENDENT PARALLEL BITUMEN LINE CONFIGURATION

​

Achieved by a combination of Curve's Low Capex Patent Chemical Treatment & Independent Reactor Unit. The extracted Thiophenes and mid-sized Asphaltenes are delivered back in a pelletized form to feed an independent Bitumen Line. Waste To Value.

The result is a Highly Profitable Low Energy footprint facility for Premium VLSFO & Quality Bitumen production from discounted off-spec Heavy Distillates with ZERO waste.

CURVE HSFO - VLSFO LINE: (85-95%)

The Curve near ambient treatment is highly selective; the Thiophene & Asphaltene removal improves the stability with minimal viscosity impact. Improved Stability gives a long storage life to this

Premium VLSFO product.

Key Parameters:

Sulphur   - Consistently lowers Sulphur to 0.12 to 0.24 to 0.43 % range

Viscosity - Marginal increase in viscosity (positive)

Density   - Maintains a higher density than Hybrid Blended VLSFOs

Stability  - The NON-Requirement for intense blending maintains balance; 

                 EXTENDING Storage Life

BITUMEN LINE (10-12% + 5-8% from Curve Line)

​

Curve's Independent Bitumen Line achieves the criteria for 50/70 & 85/100 Premium Bitumen Road Paving
