Is the asphalt unit considered a vacuum distillation unit?

2022-10-27View Original

Thread Content

According to the **Industrial Structure Adjustment Catalogue, atmospheric and vacuum distillation units with a capacity of 2 million tons per year or less fall under the scope of elimination, but asphalt production units are not mentioned. Moreover, the scale of asphalt production facilities is relatively small; if such facilities are also classified as atmospheric and vacuum distillation units, then many asphalt production facilities in China would have to be shut down. Our company has an asphalt production facility with a capacity of 500,000 tons per year, and we are concerned that it might be included in the list of facilities to be phased out. Has anyone encountered such a problem? Do you know if any department has provided an explanation regarding whether asphalt production facilities are considered atmospheric or vacuum distillation units? Thank you!

The asphalt unit operates at atmospheric pressure and cannot be considered a vacuum distillation unit.

Asphalt units do not belong to atmospheric and vacuum distillation units.

An asphalt plant is considered such only when asphalt products account for a certain proportion

Atmospheric and vacuum distillation units can produce asphalt, but asphalt production units cannot be considered atmospheric and vacuum distillation units

Normal asphalt plants do not fall under atmospheric and vacuum distillation; don’t rely on what type of plant is described in the plant’s design documents.
