CAIL Bitumen Refinery – Leading the Way in Bitumen Production with Advanced Technology and Sustainable Resources
The CAIL Bitumen Refinery, as one of our strategic projects, is being established to produce high-quality bitumen from vacuum bottom using advanced technologies. This refinery aims to meet both domestic and export needs in the Kurdistan region of Iraq and neighboring countries.
Project Specifications:
• Project Title: Bitumen Production from Vacuum Bottom
• Production Capacity: 30,000 tons per year in Phase 1 and 300,000 tons per year in Phase 2
• Land Area: 34,250 square meters, including laboratory, tank farm, structures and platforms, office, welfare, utilities, and warehouse units.
Bitumen Production Process
At the CAIL Bitumen Refinery, the production process begins with vacuum bottom as the primary raw material. This material, which is naturally settled in oil refineries, undergoes distillation under low pressure to produce high-quality bitumen. This production method reduces production costs due to the low-cost raw material and the highly efficient distillation process, while maintaining premium product quality.
Advanced Machinery and Technology
The CAIL Bitumen Refinery utilizes state-of-the-art machinery and equipment in the bitumen production process. These include low-pressure distillation systems, raw material and finished product storage units, and advanced control and monitoring systems that maximize energy efficiency. These technologies ensure the production of high-quality bitumen at a competitive cost and large-scale output.
Key Advantages of the CAIL Bitumen Refinery
1. Affordable and Accessible Raw Materials:
The refinery uses vacuum bottom as the primary raw material. This material, which settles naturally in oil refineries, is extremely cost-effective. This feature enables the refinery to produce bitumen at a low production cost and competitive price.
2. Stable Access to Raw Materials:
The refinery is strategically located near oil refineries, ensuring a constant and reliable supply of raw materials. This guarantees uninterrupted production and reduces dependency on external suppliers.
3. High Production Capacity and Expansive Market:
In Phase 1, the refinery will produce 30,000 tons of bitumen annually, with plans to increase to 300,000 tons per year in Phase 2. The bitumen produced will not only meet domestic demand in Kurdistan but will also be widely exported to neighboring countries and other regions.
4. Value Addition and Job Creation:
The refinery will directly create jobs for 20 people and indirectly for 100 others. Additionally, it will contribute to strengthening industrial infrastructure and economic growth in the region.
5. Economic Features and Return on Investment:
With a fixed investment of $10,000,000 and an anticipated annual return on investment of 35%, this project is highly profitable. The refinery is expected to generate a net profit of $4,800,000 in the short term.
6. Sustainability and Long-Term Development:
The CAIL Bitumen Refinery is designed for long-term success. It aims not only to produce high-quality bitumen but also to support both domestic and export markets, strengthen local production, and contribute to sustainable economic development in the region.
