Colas Bitumen Emulsion West
Technical purpose
This EPD is for Cold-mix Asphalt bitumen emulsion. It is manufactured at the COLAS Bitumen Emulsion production facility at Deerpark Industrial Estate, Oranmore, Co. Galway, Ireland. The main components of the bitumen emulsion are: bitumen, water, emulsifier, solvent, acid and additives. The bitumen emulsion is mixed onsite with site-won planed asphalt as a stabilising agent to enable planed asphalt to be re-laid on the road surface. The bitumen emulsions are a mixture of two pre-mixed liquids: (a) bitumen phase: comprising bitumen, solvent and additive, and (b) water phase: comprising water, emulsifier and acid. The bitumen raw material delivered to the production site is stored in a heated bitumen storage tank at high temperature prior to mixing. After a milling process using a colloidal mill, the bitumen emulsions are stored on site in heated at tanks, at approximately 80°C, before dispatch to site.
