What Oil By-Product is the Leader in Recycling
Another of the myriad products produced from crude oil drilled by oil companies like Western Pipeline Corporation.
In the United States, 96% of paved roads and streets are surfaced with asphalt. It is mixed with dried crushed rock, gravel or stone to make asphalt. Some recycling programs use asphalt along with rubber chips from old tires to create materials for sidewalks and walls. This by-product is a binding agent and is called asphalt cement. It can be thought of as an adhesive. New roads, roadbeds, shoulders and embankments are made with recycled asphalt.
Asphalt is a by product of the residue left behind after the manufacture of gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuels from crude oil by oil refineries. Refined petroleum asphalts were used to soften the natural asphalt starting in the 1870âÃÂÃÂs and by 1907 refined asphalts was being used solely to produce asphalt. It is economical, durable and available. Asphalt is also used in varnishes, lacquers, and inks, waterproofing and insulation materials and floor tiles. It is also used to line storage ponds, dams, and irrigation canals.
Most Americans recycle today.
Asphalt pavement is 100% recyclable. In fact it is the oldest adhesive known to man. It can be constructed and repaired quickly, provides a comfortable riding surface and offers waterproofing. Automobiles increased the demand for roads and the by-product of oil refineries that produced the gasoline to fuel the automobile were used to create the roads to drive on âÃÂÃÂ" a early type of recycling.
Bob Jent is the CEO of Western Pipeline Corporation. Western Pipeline Corp specializes in identifying, acquiring and developing existing, producing reserves on behalf of its individual clients.
Prior to 1900 almost all asphalt used for roads was natural asphalt imported from Lake Trinidad and Bermudez Lake in Venezuela. One thing that wouldnâÃÂÃÂt come to mind would be asphalt. Eighty percent of the asphalt pavement that is removed each year during widening or resurfacing projects is reused. However, asphalt is the most recycled product in the United States at 80%. It can actually be made to perform better the second or third time around. Asphalt heated to a high temperature forms the basis for the creation of asphalt roof shingles which make your roof water repellent and secure.
Asphalt roads are recycled by removing, crushing and mixing additional aggregate and fresh asphalt cement, remixing and placing it back on the road. The hot mix asphalt industry also accepts the following recycled materials: rubber from used tires; slag from the steel-making process; roofing shingles; and sand from metal-casting foundries. If someone were to ask you what is recycled the most the likely answer would be one of the following: newspaper, magazines, aluminum cans, plastic and glass beverage containers and plastic jugs.
