Road Oil Heating

Situation: Road oils and emulsions can be a difficult product to transport from one large container to another especially in the petrochemical heating industry. In large highway projects such as in Los Angeles California or in Dallas Texas, the viscosity of these liquids are so great, that the primary solution is to heat it up to adequate temperatures that would change the viscosity to a more manageable level. Another challenge is to heat these sealcoat products to avoid curing before the paving project is completed.
