dsr fuel pump Q&A Review
What are the specific uses of Bitumen oil as a construction material? Which type of construction companies make use of this type of oil?
Bitumen, or a very close cousin, has been used in construction for thousands of years and even turns up in the bible on Noah’s ark, with Moses in his youth, and in the building of the Tower of Babel. However, it was only in the middle of the 19th century that the use of natural bitumen was introduced to road building, progressing to the use of coal tar and then refined bitumen from crude oil. Bitumen is derived from the distillation of crude oil, which originates from the remains of marine animals and plant life that died millions of years ago. These biological remains were gradually overlaid with mud and compressed as these layers progressively built up over time. With increasing pressure, heat, bacterial breakdown, radioactive exposure and a lot of time, the biological matter was converted into crude oil. The pressure surrounding the oil forced it up through porous rock until it appeared at or near the surface of the earth. Today, companies drill for oil that has been contained by a layer of impermeable rock, having travelled upwards and sideways through porous rocks and then pooled at the point where it can travel no further. The original biological make-up and the conditions these reserves have been subjected to determine the final characteristics that the crude oil exhibits, which can vary significantly from one location to another. This crude oil is distilled until the bitumen is acquired. Fortunately for the oil companies, the materials distilled from the crude oil before the bitumen is obtained are rather useful too. These include liquid petroleum gas; fuel for planes, trains and automobiles; kerosene for lighting; lubricants; fuel oil; and various chemicals for making plastics. Bitumen is a very versatile material owing to its unusual and interesting characteristics. It is a liquid with flow characteristics that change in relation to temperature; this makes it easy to handle at high temperatures but it becomes more solid when allowed to cool, thus performing structurally in situ. It is a poor conductor of electricity, which makes it a good insulator for electrical equipment. It is resistant to water penetration, which makes it excellent as a barrier to either hold water in or keep water out. It is also a great noise insulator, so is used in soundproofing. It can be blended and mixed with a range of other materials and additives in many ways to enhance these characteristics. These qualities mean bitumen has many uses other than asphalt, such as roofing felts, carpet backing, damp proofing, pipe wrappings, battery boxes, clay pigeons, gaskets, and so the list goes on. The type of bitumen used depends on the application; so bitumen is assessed for its suitability through a range of tests. These tests help to quantify the required characteristics to ensure it is the right material for the right job. In Europe, bitumens are specified through ‘softening point’ and ‘penetration’, to give a comparable and scientific point of identification. The defining test for bitumen is the penetration test. This involves the cooling of a standard-size sample of bitumen at ambient temperature followed by conditioning in a temperature-controlled water bath at a defined temperature for a set amount of time. This is so that the sample is at the required temperature all the way through to its centre. Bitumen is an insulator and a liquid whose rate of flow changes with temperature, so it is necessary to be strict with timings and temperatures to ensure the repeatability of the test. Using a penetrometer, a needle is applied to the bitumen for a set amount of time. The depth of penetration of the needle in tenths of a mm (dmm) defines the hardness or ‘penetration’ of the bitumen. The penetration is carried out three times on the same sample to obtain an average. The grades given to the materials indicate the penetration range of the material. For example, 100/150 means the penetration of the material lies somewhere between 100dmm and 150dmm. The softening point test involves two small rings filled with bitumen which are placed in a cradle and then immersed in a beaker of liquid. A standard metal ball is placed on top of each bitumen sample and the surrounding liquid is heated at a constant rate. The softening point that is reported is the temperature of the liquid when the bitumen can no longer support the weight of the ball, and the ball passes through the ring, dropping to the base of the cradle. It should be noted that the softening point is not when the bitumen ‘melts’, rather it is when it can no longer resist the force of the weighted ball. According to the European Norm, the softening point must also fall within a set range that is not in the name, but is in the EN standard for straight-run bitumen. After the softening point and penetration tests, the most common bitumen test is viscosity. This test measures the resistance of the bitumen to a rotating spindle at different temperatures. This is important to know for predicting the behaviour of the bitumen, for storing and pumping the bitumen, and for the mixing and compaction of the asphalt. For a further, more complex understanding of the material there is a whole range of tests which deliver banks of data, explaining the behaviour of the bitumen under specific conditions and forces. There are the Frass and Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR) cold-performance tests, which show the behaviour of the material at lower temperatures. There is rheological testing such as the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR), which measures the visco-elastic properties of the bitumen at a range of temperatures and frequencies – bitumen behaves more like a liquid the heavier and slower the load applied and the higher the temperature, so the DSR measures the reaction of the material to a shear force at a range of frequencies and temperatures. There is the Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR) test, which measures the initial deformation and then recovery of the material after a stress is applied, then removed, multiple times; this represents the deformation resistance of the material. These are just a few examples without delving too deep into the subject. Bitumen can be modified in a number of ways to suit its application and performance. Polymers can be added to create polymer-modified bitumen (PMB). The performance achieved as a result of this modification obviously depends on the polymer and quantity used, as not all PMBs are the same. These materials often boast improved flexibility, increased durability and increased resistance to deformation. They increase the characteristics of the material to withstand both the extreme high and low temperatures that roads may be exposed to. Additives can be added to improve cohesion to problematic aggregate. Waxes can be added to lower the viscosity when liquid, allowing reduced mixing and compaction temperatures but increasing final performance stiffness and fuel resistance. Crumb rubber is a recycled material which is claimed to add elasticity, whilst acids are added to increase asphalt stiffness without affecting its low-temperature properties of crack resistance. Additives can be added to create a warm mix that allows the asphalt to be mixed and compacted at reduced temperatures, therefore saving energy and reducing the ageing of the bitumen during mixing and application. As well as hot and warm mix, bitumen can be used in a cold application, known as an emulsion, produced by milling the bitumen into tiny droplets and suspending them in a solution. This can be used in road-surface treatments such as surface dressing and slurry seals. A chemical reaction causes the material to ‘break’ releasing the solution and leaving behind the desired bitumen. Bitumen can also be oxidized, giving it a lower penetration and higher softening point. This is done by elevating the bitumen to very high temperatures and blowing air through it. These bitumens are used mainly in the industrial sector. It is clear, therefore, that bitumen is a multifunctional construction material with a diverse range of characteristics that make it interesting and innovative to work with. Ultimately, the crude oil it comes from is a finite resource, so industry has a responsibility to make the most of the materials it takes out of the ground. The focus must be on durability; designing products last as long as possible so they do not go to waste on failing surfaces which need regular replacing. There is a need to invest in these added-value materials, taking advantage of their qualities and characteristics to over-engineer roads so they can withstand what the future has in store for them. The population, traffic and vehicles are all increasing in size and today’s weather is extremely variable, which means roads must be able to withstand a wide range of challenges. If we want our roads to resist possible damage, we must lay high-quality materials to a good standard in order to give them a chance
As renewables become adopted more, how will that change the utility companies business model?
It depends which utility companies: those involved in generation, transmission or distribution? And note that “as renewables become adopted more” will be concurrent with the electrification of heating, transportation and industry – that electrification including transition to a hydrogen economy because the manufacture of hydrogen takes lots of electricity, whether the hydrogen is electrolysed or reformed with CCUS (carbon capture, use and/or storage). There will also be a simultaneous increase in distributed generation and storage: because this article will consider both distribution operators and transition operators as grid operators, the distributed generation and storage in question is behind the meter – domestic and commercial (largely for self-consumption) scale. Generation Utilities Generators will find increasing proportions of their generation to be intermittent, though this may be limited to, say, 30% of demand if (like France and China) the energy transition is undertaken in parallel with large-scale roll-out of nuclear and (to a much lesser extent) hydroelectric generation. Due to the electrification of other sectors, demand (especially peak demand) will grow rapidly, with some off-setting coming from the use of smart meters and smart chargers for EVs. There will be further off-setting by the displacement of demand from one time to another, e.g. stopping hydrogen manufacture during peak demand periods, though this would entail increasing the capital costs of the plant to shoehorn the same amount of hydrogen production into fewer hours per day – this is called Demand Side Response (DSR). Due to the increase in distributed generation, demand will fluctuate increasingly wildly. When the sun is shining (and, to a much lesser extent, when the wind is blowing), distributed generation increases and therefore reduces demand on the grid. But in temperate climates this also reduces demand for heating, lighting etc. (though increasing demand for air conditioning in warmer climates). Correspondingly when distributed generation is not generating (e.g. after sunset), all that demand returns to the grid, producing the famous Californian “duck curve” . Therefore generators will need sufficient flexible generation and/or storage to cope with the scale and duration of these peaks, while also being able to turn their generation down (or off) sufficiently to reflect minimum demand. This will put a premium on large-scale long-duration storage, at scales from hundreds of megawatts to scores of gigawatts, and durations from 4 hours (a typical evening peak) to 2 weeks, the latter reflecting the kalte dunkel Flaute or “cold dark doldrums” , the longest-duration weather pattern identified (by Germany and France, hence its German name) that suppresses intermittent generation simultaneously over large geographical regions – in their case, most of Europe. Transmission / Distribution Utilities Transmission and distribution utilities are likely to be the most affected. Self-generation and self-storage reduce demand and therefore income. But virtually all distributed systems rely on the grid for back-up, so grid (and generation) capacity needs to be retained to pay for this back-up. In short, electricity consumption shrinks enormously, while back-up needs (with increasing electrification) increase significantly. Such infrastructure is very expensive to build and keep on standby, which current payment models cannot reimburse because they are primarily focused on paying for electricity consumption. This implies that electricity charges must be re-structured radically, by increasing the proportion of charges related to availability (often termed “standing charges”) and reducing the proportion related to usage (energy costs). And each user’s maximum rate of demand from the grid should be linked tightly to their availability payments: if a user pays to draw down 10kW, then they cannot at any point draw 11kW; this is to eliminate the free-loading that would push the system costs onto other users. Another challenge comes from the huge increase in overall demand due to the energy transition of other sectors. A third challenge is that such a high proportion of generation is intermittent: depending on location, to replace 1GW of baseload generation requires 3GW of offshore wind-plus-storage, 4GW of onshore wind + storage and 8-10GW of solar-plus-storage, and grids need to be able to cope with peak loads. A fourth challenge derives from the changes in the geographical distribution of this demand: offshore wind farms are in very different locations from fossil-fuelled power stations; and demand for electrified heating and transportation is in very different locations from that for older industries. All these further challenges need similar solutions: both grid patterns and total grid capacity will need to be strengthened greatly. Happily the old patterns will largely remain for comparable volumes of demand, so old grids are unlikely to need wholesale demolition programmes. But they will need large-scale construction programmes, with grid lines crossing regions that have not before seen them, having to overcome lots of nimbyism or to incur the enormous expense of burying the lines. However some of it can be mitigated by, for example, hanging more wires of each hanger on a pylon, and by building higher-voltage cables including HVDC interconnection. A final challenge will come from the loss of inertial generation. Power stations have lots of inertia, which means that a fault or spike (whether creating an upwards spike or shock, or a downwards spike or drop-out) is absorbed by the fact that the large rotating mass cannot accelerate or decelerate at such speeds. This is a huge benefit in a variety of ways to the stability of the system. Some of these benefits can be replaced by means that are virtual (i.e. better control systems) or simulated (e.g. using ultra-rapid intervention from batteries to oppose the spike), but the cost and variety of such means would end up being prohibitive. Therefore transmission and distribution utilities must incentivise the construction and operation of inertial supply and load. This could be using synchronous condensers or, better, inertial storage (pumped hydro, CAES) which can spin like a flywheel when not in use – which would keep them synchronised to the grid and thereby reduce start-up times and increase ramp rates. Retail Utilities Electricity retailers’ challenges are in many ways similar to those of distribution utilities. On the revenue side they will have many customers relying on contracts to provide back-up power, and their costs will be greatly affected by transmission and distribution operators’ change to increase availability charging, which should usually be accompanied by reductions in usage charges. Politically this is difficult in some countries that have focused for a while on consumers paying only for what they use. It would have to be explained that they are also “using” the back-up capabilities; and that those whose costs would increase under this new system of charging would be those who can afford the distributed generation and storage, while those who cannot afford them may see their total bills decrease. Achievable All of this is very achievable, provided that the various operators, regulators and governments align themselves: their strategies, actions, regulations, systems and public pronouncements. The better this is done, the more painless the energy transition; and if done really well, the total energy system costs should barely rise or may even fall. This is because there is such a huge amount of investment going into fossil fuels and related systems; if this investment is redirected towards the energy transition and its required infrastructure, little or no additional investment will be needed. Which carries a warning: if done poorly (as shown by the recent French Gilets Jaunes demonstrations), the results will be politically unacceptable and very expensive, leading to cost overruns, missed targets and unabated global warming. We must get it right: the planet has no other choice.
