Distillation Assembly For Recovery of Asphalt Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : TVT-BATE-10351
The Distillation Assembly For Recovery of Asphalt from Tvet Equipments recovers asphalt binder from a solvent solution obtained during extraction testing, yielding recovered asphalt with properties substantially similar to those it had in the original bituminous mixture, in a quantity sufficient for further testing.
How It Works
The bitumen-solvent solution produced by a prior extraction step (such as centrifuge or reflux extraction) is heated in the distillation flask, driving off the solvent as vapour while leaving the recovered asphalt binder behind. Careful control of distillation temperature and rate minimises hardening or alteration of the binder, so its properties remain representative of the asphalt as it existed in the pavement mix.

Applications
The Distillation Assembly is used to recover asphalt binder from extraction solvent under ASTM D1856, the standard test method for recovery of asphalt from solution by the Abson method, supporting further characterisation tests (penetration, softening point, ductility) on the recovered binder. It is used in asphalt QC laboratories and pavement forensic investigation facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. When is this distillation assembly used?
It is used after a bitumen extraction step, to recover the asphalt binder from the solvent solution so the binder itself can be tested for penetration, softening point, or ductility.
Q2. Does the recovery process change the binder's properties?
The Abson distillation method used here is designed to recover asphalt with properties substantially the same as those it possessed in the original bituminous mixture, minimising alteration during recovery.
Q3. Is enough binder recovered for further testing?
Yes, the assembly is designed to recover asphalt in quantities sufficient to carry out standard follow-up binder characterisation tests.
