Essar Oil Commences Production Of Viscosity Grade Bitumen From Vadinar Refinery (27-Jan-2012)
Essar Oil has commenced the production of viscosity grade (VG) bitumen from its Vadinar Refinery. Viscosity grade bitumen conforms to the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) standard IS 73:2006, which has been widely adopted by the Ministry of Road Transport and highways (MoRTH), National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), Directorate General of Supplies and Disposal (DGSD) and all the government Public Work Department (PWDs).
MoRTH, in consultation with BIS, has revised bitumen specifications from penetration grade to viscosity grade in a bid to enhance the durability of Indian roads. The move was aimed at overcoming the limitations of penetration grade bitumen that was in vogue earlier.
Further, the company has successfully produced superior performance VG grade bitumen (VG 30) by processing a judicious mix of crudes and blending components. The Vadinar Refinery is equipped with a state of the art laboratory, which is dedicated to developing superior grade petro products that find acceptance in both domestic and international markets.
