Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards. This equipment aligns with the technical and engineering requirements for bitumen products, complies with Iraqi standard specifications, and adheres to environmental considerations in the Anbar Governorate. 1. Extraction Stage The raw material (solid or liquid) is extracted from quarries designated by the Geological Survey Authority using specialized mechanical equipment. It is stored in stocks or special basins for solid materials, then transported to the refinery site using specialized transport vehicles of various capacities. 2. Storage Stage The raw materials are stored in designated yards to ensure a sufficient inventory for continuous, uninterrupted production for no less than 7 working days. 3. Raw Material Preparation and Primary Heating Stage Raw materials are fed into the plant via hydraulic lifts. This stage includes: • 3-1: Crushing and Digestion: Solid raw materials from the quarries are broken down and digested using a digester (SH-01) equipped with double blades driven by hydraulic motors (22.5 kW capacity). The digester is 5 meters long and 1.80 meters in diameter, made of carbon steel, with Stainless Steel 304 blades. It includes a Stainless Steel piston driven by a 7.5 kW electric motor. • 3-2: Primary Heating: This melts the bitumen and improves pumpability through pipes and pumps. • 3-3: Efficiency Enhancement: To increase melting efficiency, Gas Oil is added to the primary heating basin at a ratio of 1:5 per ton of solid raw material entering the basin (this ratio decreases when using liquid raw bitumen). o 3-2-1: Primary Melting Basin (TK-01): Raw material is heated in a concrete tank (25m L x 5m W x 3m H) with a maximum storage capacity of 300 tons. Heating pipes circulate thermal fluid (oil) at 125°C, with a retention time of 4-6 hours. The tank is internally lined with 6-8 mm carbon steel plates to protect the heating pipes from corrosion. It contains 8 Stainless Steel 304 mixers (MX-01 A/B/C/D/E/F) driven by 7.5 kW electric motors (50 RPM) and gearboxes (1:60 ratio) to mix the material, increase heating efficiency, reduce retention time, and circulate the melted bitumen to eliminate dissolved water, resulting in a homogeneous melt. Covered with a carbon steel roof with service hatches, it connects to an air duct (30x60 cm) linked to 2 air blowers (AB-01A/B) (one operating, one standby) at 22.5 kW / 1500 RPM. These extract water vapor and sulfur fumes, sending them to a scrubber before atmospheric release and water recycling. o 3-2-2: Primary Collection Tank (V-01): A carbon steel tank (12-14 mm thick) with a maximum capacity of 125 tons (10m L x 5m W x 3m H). It connects directly to the primary tank (TK-01) via channels and movable gates to receive only liquid raw material. It contains thermal oil pipes to maintain the liquid raw material at 140°C. Insulated with glass wool (90 kg/m³) and a 1.8 mm aluminum outer cover. Impurities larger than 35 mm are removed and collected in a waste tank. o 3-2-3: Screw Conveyors (SC-01 A/B): Carbon steel screw conveyors with a double-jacketed outer cover filled with thermal oil to maintain the 140°C temperature. Driven by 22.5 kW electric motors (3000 RPM) with 1:40 gearboxes, they transport the liquid raw material to the preliminary filtration unit. 4. Purification Unit Removes suspended impurities from the liquid raw material in two stages: • 4-1: Preliminary Purification Tank (V-02): A carbon steel tank (12-14 mm thick, 125-ton capacity, 5m L x 10m W x 3m H).

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards.

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards. This equipment aligns with the technical and engineering requirements for bitumen products, complies with Iraqi standard specifications, and adheres to environmental considerations in the Anbar Governorate. 1. Extraction Stage The raw material (solid or liquid) is extracted from quarries designated by the Geological Survey Authority using specialized mechanical equipment. It is stored in stocks or special basins for solid materials, then transported to the refinery site using specialized transport vehicles of various capacities. 2. Storage Stage The raw materials are stored in designated yards to ensure a sufficient inventory for continuous, uninterrupted production for no less than 7 working days. 3. Raw Material Preparation and Primary Heating Stage Raw materials are fed into the plant via hydraulic lifts. This stage includes: • 3-1: Crushing and Digestion: Solid raw materials from the quarries are broken down and digested using a digester (SH-01) equipped with double blades driven by hydraulic motors (22.5 kW capacity).

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards. This equipment aligns with the technical and engineering requirements for bitumen products, complies with Iraqi standard specifications, and adheres to environmental considerations in the Anbar Governorate. 1. Extraction Stage The raw material (solid or liquid) is extracted from quarries designated by the Geological Survey Authority using specialized mechanical equipment. It is stored in stocks or special basins for solid materials, then transported to the refinery site using specialized transport vehicles of various capacities. 2. Storage Stage The raw materials are stored in designated yards to ensure a sufficient inventory for continuous, uninterrupted production for no less than 7 working days. 3. Raw Material Preparation and Primary Heating Stage Raw materials are fed into the plant via hydraulic lifts. This stage includes: • 3-1: Crushing and Digestion: Solid raw materials from the quarries are broken down and digested using a digester (SH-01) equipped with double blades driven by hydraulic motors (22.5 kW capacity). The digester is 5 meters long and 1.80 meters in diameter, made of carbon steel, with Stainless Steel 304 blades. It includes a Stainless Steel piston driven by a 7.5 kW electric motor. • 3-2: Primary Heating: This melts the bitumen and improves pumpability through pipes and pumps. • 3-3: Efficiency Enhancement: To increase melting efficiency, Gas Oil is added to the primary heating basin at a ratio of 1:5 per ton of solid raw material entering the basin (this ratio decreases when using liquid raw bitumen). o 3-2-1: Primary Melting Basin (TK-01): Raw material is heated in a concrete tank (25m L x 5m W x 3m H) with a maximum storage capacity of 300 tons.

Alumina (Al2O3): Enhances the cracking of chemical bonds in heavy bitumen chains and increases Gas Oil extraction yield. 2. Manganese Dioxide (MnO2): Accelerates the reaction, reduces reaction time, and acts as a gasoline improver. 3. Silicon Dioxide (SiO2): Increases acceleration and reduces reaction time. 4. Iron Oxides (Fe2O): Accelerates the reaction, prevents pipe corrosion, and stops sulfur and wax from sticking to pipes and pumps. Weight Ratios (WT/WT) to Produce One Barrel (200 Liters) of Catalyst: 1. Alumina: Varies by feed: 2-2.5% for Bitumen / 4-5% for Vacuum Residue (VR) / 2-2.5% for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). To increase Gas Oil/Diesel (Light fuel) yield, Alumina can be added up to a maximum of 10%. 2. Manganese Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for VR and Bitumen. 3. Iron Oxides: 2-2.5% across all feeds. 4. Silicon Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for Bitumen and VR. 5. Remaining Volume: Filled with C-oil. Note: One barrel (200 Liters) of this mixture is added for every 5 tons of HFO, VR, or Bitumen. Manufacturing Mechanism: All components are placed in a tank, initially mixed with water, and heated to 80-120°C with continuous mixing (20-30 RPM). Once foam is generated, the product is allowed to cool to 80°C. The heating process up to 120°C is repeated 3 or 4 times until foaming ceases. Finally, the temperature is raised to 150°C, and the mixture is topped off to 200 liters using C-oil. To further improve light compound specifications, Zinc Oxide (300 grams) is mixed with 20 kg of Bentonite in C-oil. This is added alongside the catalyst at a ratio of 1/5 barrel of catalyst added to the reactor.

Alumina (Al2O3): Enhances the cracking of chemical bonds in heavy bitumen chains and increases Gas Oil extraction yield. 2. Manganese Dioxide (MnO2): Accelerates the reaction, reduces reaction time, and acts as a gasoline improver. 3. Silicon Dioxide (SiO2): Increases acceleration and reduces reaction time. 4. Iron Oxides (Fe2O): Accelerates the reaction, prevents pipe corrosion, and stops sulfur and wax from sticking to pipes and pumps. Weight Ratios (WT/WT) to Produce One Barrel (200 Liters) of Catalyst: 1. Alumina: Varies by feed: 2-2.5% for Bitumen / 4-5% for Vacuum Residue (VR) / 2-2.5% for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). To increase Gas Oil/Diesel (Light fuel) yield, Alumina can be added up to a maximum of 10%. 2. Manganese Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for VR and Bitumen. 3. Iron Oxides: 2-2.5% across all feeds. 4. Silicon Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for Bitumen and VR. 5. Remaining Volume: Filled with C-oil. Note: One barrel (200 Liters) of this mixture is added for every 5 tons of HFO, VR, or Bitumen. Manufacturing Mechanism: All components are placed in a tank, initially mixed with water, and heated to 80-120°C with continuous mixing (20-30 RPM). Once foam is generated, the product is allowed to cool to 80°C. The heating process up to 120°C is repeated 3 or 4 times until foaming ceases. Finally, the temperature is raised to 150°C, and the mixture is topped off to 200 liters using C-oil. To further improve light compound specifications, Zinc Oxide (300 grams) is mixed with 20 kg of Bentonite in C-oil. This is added alongside the catalyst at a ratio of 1/5 barrel of catalyst added to the reactor.

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards.

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards. This equipment aligns with the technical and engineering requirements for bitumen products, complies with Iraqi standard specifications, and adheres to environmental considerations in the Anbar Governorate. 1. Extraction Stage The raw material (solid or liquid) is extracted from quarries designated by the Geological Survey Authority using specialized mechanical equipment. It is stored in stocks or special basins for solid materials, then transported to the refinery site using specialized transport vehicles of various capacities. 2. Storage Stage The raw materials are stored in designated yards to ensure a sufficient inventory for continuous, uninterrupted production for no less than 7 working days. 3. Raw Material Preparation and Primary Heating Stage Raw materials are fed into the plant via hydraulic lifts. This stage includes: • 3-1: Crushing and Digestion: Solid raw materials from the quarries are broken down and digested using a digester (SH-01) equipped with double blades driven by hydraulic motors (22.5 kW capacity). The digester is 5 meters long and 1.80 meters in diameter, made of carbon steel, with Stainless Steel 304 blades. It includes a Stainless Steel piston driven by a 7.5 kW electric motor. • 3-2: Primary Heating: This melts the bitumen and improves pumpability through pipes and pumps. • 3-3: Efficiency Enhancement: To increase melting efficiency, Gas Oil is added to the primary heating basin at a ratio of 1:5 per ton of solid raw material entering the basin (this ratio decreases when using liquid raw bitumen). o 3-2-1: Primary Melting Basin (TK-01): Raw material is heated in a concrete tank (25m L x 5m W x 3m H) with a maximum storage capacity of 300 tons. Heating pipes circulate thermal fluid (oil) at 125°C, with a retention time of 4-6 hours. The tank is internally lined with 6-8 mm carbon steel plates to protect the heating pipes from corrosion. It contains 8 Stainless Steel 304 mixers (MX-01 A/B/C/D/E/F) driven by 7.5 kW electric motors (50 RPM) and gearboxes (1:60 ratio) to mix the material, increase heating efficiency, reduce retention time, and circulate the melted bitumen to eliminate dissolved water, resulting in a homogeneous melt. Covered with a carbon steel roof with service hatches, it connects to an air duct (30x60 cm) linked to 2 air blowers (AB-01A/B) (one operating, one standby) at 22.5 kW / 1500 RPM. These extract water vapor and sulfur fumes, sending them to a scrubber before atmospheric release and water recycling. o 3-2-2: Primary Collection Tank (V-01): A carbon steel tank (12-14 mm thick) with a maximum capacity of 125 tons (10m L x 5m W x 3m H).

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards.

Alumina (Al2O3): Enhances the cracking of chemical bonds in heavy bitumen chains and increases Gas Oil extraction yield. 2. Manganese Dioxide (MnO2): Accelerates the reaction, reduces reaction time, and acts as a gasoline improver. 3. Silicon Dioxide (SiO2): Increases acceleration and reduces reaction time. 4. Iron Oxides (Fe2O): Accelerates the reaction, prevents pipe corrosion, and stops sulfur and wax from sticking to pipes and pumps. Weight Ratios (WT/WT) to Produce One Barrel (200 Liters) of Catalyst: 1. Alumina: Varies by feed: 2-2.5% for Bitumen / 4-5% for Vacuum Residue (VR) / 2-2.5% for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). To increase Gas Oil/Diesel (Light fuel) yield, Alumina can be added up to a maximum of 10%. 2. Manganese Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for VR and Bitumen. 3. Iron Oxides: 2-2.5% across all feeds. 4. Silicon Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for Bitumen and VR. 5. Remaining Volume: Filled with C-oil. Note: One barrel (200 Liters) of this mixture is added for every 5 tons of HFO, VR, or Bitumen. Manufacturing Mechanism: All components are placed in a tank, initially mixed with water, and heated to 80-120°C with continuous mixing (20-30 RPM). Once foam is generated, the product is allowed to cool to 80°C. The heating process up to 120°C is repeated 3 or 4 times until foaming ceases. Finally, the temperature is raised to 150°C, and the mixture is topped off to 200 liters using C-oil. To further improve light compound specifications, Zinc Oxide (300 grams) is mixed with 20 kg of Bentonite in C-oil. This is added alongside the catalyst at a ratio of 1/5 barrel of catalyst added to the reactor.

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards. This equipment aligns with the technical and engineering requirements for bitumen products, complies with Iraqi standard specifications, and adheres to environmental considerations in the Anbar Governorate. 1. Extraction Stage The raw material (solid or liquid) is extracted from quarries designated by the Geological Survey Authority using specialized mechanical equipment. It is stored in stocks or special basins for solid materials, then transported to the refinery site using specialized transport vehicles of various capacities. 2. Storage Stage The raw materials are stored in designated yards to ensure a sufficient inventory for continuous, uninterrupted production for no less than 7 working days. 3. Raw Material Preparation and Primary Heating Stage Raw materials are fed into the plant via hydraulic lifts. This stage includes: • 3-1: Crushing and Digestion: Solid raw materials from the quarries are broken down and digested using a digester (SH-01) equipped with double blades driven by hydraulic motors (22.5 kW capacity). The digester is 5 meters long and 1.80 meters in diameter, made of carbon steel, with Stainless Steel 304 blades. It includes a Stainless Steel piston driven by a 7.5 kW electric motor. • 3-2: Primary Heating: This melts the bitumen and improves pumpability through pipes and pumps. • 3-3: Efficiency Enhancement: To increase melting efficiency, Gas Oil is added to the primary heating basin at a ratio of 1:5 per ton of solid raw material entering the basin (this ratio decreases when using liquid raw bitumen). o 3-2-1: Primary Melting Basin (TK-01): Raw material is heated in a concrete tank (25m L x 5m W x 3m H) with a maximum storage capacity of 300 tons.

Manufacturing Mechanism: All components are placed in a tank, initially mixed with water, and heated to 80-120°C with continuous mixing (20-30 RPM). Once foam is generated, the product is allowed to cool to 80°C. The heating process up to 120°C is repeated 3 or 4 times until foaming ceases. Finally, the temperature is raised to 150°C, and the mixture is topped off to 200 liters using C-oil. To further improve light compound specifications, Zinc Oxide (300 grams) is mixed with 20 kg of Bentonite in C-oil. This is added alongside the catalyst at a ratio of 1/5 barrel of catalyst added to the reactor.
Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards. This equipment aligns with the technical and engineering requirements for bitumen products, complies with Iraqi standard specifications, and adheres to environmental considerations in the Anbar Governorate. 1.

Alumina (Al2O3): Enhances the cracking of chemical bonds in heavy bitumen chains and increases Gas Oil extraction yield. 2. Manganese Dioxide (MnO2): Accelerates the reaction, reduces reaction time, and acts as a gasoline improver. 3. Silicon Dioxide (SiO2): Increases acceleration and reduces reaction time. 4. Iron Oxides (Fe2O): Accelerates the reaction, prevents pipe corrosion, and stops sulfur and wax from sticking to pipes and pumps. Weight Ratios (WT/WT) to Produce One Barrel (200 Liters) of Catalyst: 1. Alumina: Varies by feed: 2-2.5% for Bitumen / 4-5% for Vacuum Residue (VR) / 2-2.5% for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). To increase Gas Oil/Diesel (Light fuel) yield, Alumina can be added up to a maximum of 10%. 2. Manganese Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for VR and Bitumen. 3. Iron Oxides: 2-2.5% across all feeds. 4. Silicon Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for Bitumen and VR. 5. Remaining Volume: Filled with C-oil. Note: One barrel (200 Liters) of this mixture is added for every 5 tons of HFO, VR, or Bitumen. Manufacturing Mechanism: All components are placed in a tank, initially mixed with water, and heated to 80-120°C with continuous mixing (20-30 RPM). Once foam is generated, the product is allowed to cool to 80°C. The heating process up to 120°C is repeated 3 or 4 times until foaming ceases. Finally, the temperature is raised to 150°C, and the mixture is topped off to 200 liters using C-oil. To further improve light compound specifications, Zinc Oxide (300 grams) is mixed with 20 kg of Bentonite in C-oil. This is added alongside the catalyst at a ratio of 1/5 barrel of catalyst added to the reactor.

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards. This equipment aligns with the technical and engineering requirements for bitumen products, complies with Iraqi standard specifications, and adheres to environmental considerations in the Anbar Governorate. 1. Extraction Stage The raw material (solid or liquid) is extracted from quarries designated by the Geological Survey Authority using specialized mechanical equipment. It is stored in stocks or special basins for solid materials, then transported to the refinery site using specialized transport vehicles of various capacities. 2. Storage Stage The raw materials are stored in designated yards to ensure a sufficient inventory for continuous, uninterrupted production for no less than 7 working days. 3. Raw Material Preparation and Primary Heating Stage Raw materials are fed into the plant via hydraulic lifts. This stage includes: • 3-1: Crushing and Digestion: Solid raw materials from the quarries are broken down and digested using a digester (SH-01) equipped with double blades driven by hydraulic motors (22.5 kW capacity). The digester is 5 meters long and 1.80 meters in diameter, made of carbon steel, with Stainless Steel 304 blades. It includes a Stainless Steel piston driven by a 7.5 kW electric motor. • 3-2: Primary Heating: This melts the bitumen and improves pumpability through pipes and pumps. • 3-3: Efficiency Enhancement: To increase melting efficiency, Gas Oil is added to the primary heating basin at a ratio of 1:5 per ton of solid raw material entering the basin (this ratio decreases when using liquid raw bitumen). o 3-2-1: Primary Melting Basin (TK-01): Raw material is heated in a concrete tank (25m L x 5m W x 3m H) with a maximum storage capacity of 300 tons. Heating pipes circulate thermal fluid (oil) at 125°C, with a retention time of 4-6 hours. The tank is internally lined with 6-8 mm carbon steel plates to protect the heating pipes from corrosion. It contains 8 Stainless Steel 304 mixers (MX-01 A/B/C/D/E/F) driven by 7.5 kW electric motors (50 RPM) and gearboxes (1:60 ratio) to mix the material, increase heating efficiency, reduce retention time, and circulate the melted bitumen to eliminate dissolved water, resulting in a homogeneous melt. Covered with a carbon steel roof with service hatches, it connects to an air duct (30x60 cm) linked to 2 air blowers (AB-01A/B) (one operating, one standby) at 22.5 kW / 1500 RPM.

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards. This equipment aligns with the technical and engineering requirements for bitumen products, complies with Iraqi standard specifications, and adheres to environmental considerations in the Anbar Governorate. 1. Extraction Stage The raw material (solid or liquid) is extracted from quarries designated by the Geological Survey Authority using specialized mechanical equipment. It is stored in stocks or special basins for solid materials, then transported to the refinery site using specialized transport vehicles of various capacities. 2. Storage Stage The raw materials are stored in designated yards to ensure a sufficient inventory for continuous, uninterrupted production for no less than 7 working days. 3. Raw Material Preparation and Primary Heating Stage Raw materials are fed into the plant via hydraulic lifts. This stage includes: • 3-1: Crushing and Digestion: Solid raw materials from the quarries are broken down and digested using a digester (SH-01) equipped with double blades driven by hydraulic motors (22.5 kW capacity). The digester is 5 meters long and 1.80 meters in diameter, made of carbon steel, with Stainless Steel 304 blades. It includes a Stainless Steel piston driven by a 7.5 kW electric motor. • 3-2: Primary Heating: This melts the bitumen and improves pumpability through pipes and pumps. • 3-3: Efficiency Enhancement: To increase melting efficiency, Gas Oil is added to the primary heating basin at a ratio of 1:5 per ton of solid raw material entering the basin (this ratio decreases when using liquid raw bitumen). o 3-2-1: Primary Melting Basin (TK-01): Raw material is heated in a concrete tank (25m L x 5m W x 3m H) with a maximum storage capacity of 300 tons.

They feature a two-layer Stainless Steel filter mesh (specified microns) wrapped around square boxes. Liquid enters from the outside, and pure liquid is collected from the inside via a pipe network connected to a manifold. This is driven by two vacuum pumps (VP-01A/B) connected to the raw material tanks. 5.

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards.

Weight Ratios (WT/WT) to Produce One Barrel (200 Liters) of Catalyst: 1. Alumina: Varies by feed: 2-2.5% for Bitumen / 4-5% for Vacuum Residue (VR) / 2-2.5% for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). To increase Gas Oil/Diesel (Light fuel) yield, Alumina can be added up to a maximum of 10%. 2. Manganese Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for VR and Bitumen. 3. Iron Oxides: 2-2.5% across all feeds. 4. Silicon Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for Bitumen and VR. 5. Remaining Volume: Filled with C-oil. Note: One barrel (200 Liters) of this mixture is added for every 5 tons of HFO, VR, or Bitumen. Manufacturing Mechanism: All components are placed in a tank, initially mixed with water, and heated to 80-120°C with continuous mixing (20-30 RPM). Once foam is generated, the product is allowed to cool to 80°C. The heating process up to 120°C is repeated 3 or 4 times until foaming ceases. Finally, the temperature is raised to 150°C, and the mixture is topped off to 200 liters using C-oil. To further improve light compound specifications, Zinc Oxide (300 grams) is mixed with 20 kg of Bentonite in C-oil. This is added alongside the catalyst at a ratio of 1/5 barrel of catalyst added to the reactor.

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards. This equipment aligns with the technical and engineering requirements for bitumen products, complies with Iraqi standard specifications, and adheres to environmental considerations in the Anbar Governorate. 1. Extraction Stage The raw material (solid or liquid) is extracted from quarries designated by the Geological Survey Authority using specialized mechanical equipment. It is stored in stocks or special basins for solid materials, then transported to the refinery site using specialized transport vehicles of various capacities. 2. Storage Stage The raw materials are stored in designated yards to ensure a sufficient inventory for continuous, uninterrupted production for no less than 7 working days. 3. Raw Material Preparation and Primary Heating Stage Raw materials are fed into the plant via hydraulic lifts. This stage includes: • 3-1: Crushing and Digestion: Solid raw materials from the quarries are broken down and digested using a digester (SH-01) equipped with double blades driven by hydraulic motors (22.5 kW capacity).

Alumina (Al2O3): Enhances the cracking of chemical bonds in heavy bitumen chains and increases Gas Oil extraction yield. 2. Manganese Dioxide (MnO2): Accelerates the reaction, reduces reaction time, and acts as a gasoline improver. 3. Silicon Dioxide (SiO2): Increases acceleration and reduces reaction time. 4. Iron Oxides (Fe2O): Accelerates the reaction, prevents pipe corrosion, and stops sulfur and wax from sticking to pipes and pumps. Weight Ratios (WT/WT) to Produce One Barrel (200 Liters) of Catalyst: 1. Alumina: Varies by feed: 2-2.5% for Bitumen / 4-5% for Vacuum Residue (VR) / 2-2.5% for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). To increase Gas Oil/Diesel (Light fuel) yield, Alumina can be added up to a maximum of 10%. 2. Manganese Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for VR and Bitumen. 3. Iron Oxides: 2-2.5% across all feeds. 4. Silicon Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for Bitumen and VR. 5. Remaining Volume: Filled with C-oil. Note: One barrel (200 Liters) of this mixture is added for every 5 tons of HFO, VR, or Bitumen. Manufacturing Mechanism: All components are placed in a tank, initially mixed with water, and heated to 80-120°C with continuous mixing (20-30 RPM). Once foam is generated, the product is allowed to cool to 80°C. The heating process up to 120°C is repeated 3 or 4 times until foaming ceases. Finally, the temperature is raised to 150°C, and the mixture is topped off to 200 liters using C-oil. To further improve light compound specifications, Zinc Oxide (300 grams) is mixed with 20 kg of Bentonite in C-oil. This is added alongside the catalyst at a ratio of 1/5 barrel of catalyst added to the reactor.
Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards.

Two vertical carbon steel tanks (V-17A/B, 1.5m dia, 4.5m H) with an MX-03 hydromotor mixer (7.5 kW, 30 RPM). V-17A is for preparation, V-17B pumps catalyst to the reactor. ________________________________________ Catalyst Chemical Components & Formulations 1. Alumina (Al2O3): Enhances the cracking of chemical bonds in heavy bitumen chains and increases Gas Oil extraction yield. 2. Manganese Dioxide (MnO2): Accelerates the reaction, reduces reaction time, and acts as a gasoline improver. 3. Silicon Dioxide (SiO2): Increases acceleration and reduces reaction time. 4. Iron Oxides (Fe2O): Accelerates the reaction, prevents pipe corrosion, and stops sulfur and wax from sticking to pipes and pumps. Weight Ratios (WT/WT) to Produce One Barrel (200 Liters) of Catalyst: 1. Alumina: Varies by feed: 2-2.5% for Bitumen / 4-5% for Vacuum Residue (VR) / 2-2.5% for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). To increase Gas Oil/Diesel (Light fuel) yield, Alumina can be added up to a maximum of 10%. 2. Manganese Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for VR and Bitumen. 3. Iron Oxides: 2-2.5% across all feeds. 4. Silicon Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for Bitumen and VR. 5. Remaining Volume: Filled with C-oil. Note: One barrel (200 Liters) of this mixture is added for every 5 tons of HFO, VR, or Bitumen. Manufacturing Mechanism: All components are placed in a tank, initially mixed with water, and heated to 80-120°C with continuous mixing (20-30 RPM). Once foam is generated, the product is allowed to cool to 80°C. The heating process up to 120°C is repeated 3 or 4 times until foaming ceases. Finally, the temperature is raised to 150°C, and the mixture is topped off to 200 liters using C-oil. To further improve light compound specifications, Zinc Oxide (300 grams) is mixed with 20 kg of Bentonite in C-oil. This is added alongside the catalyst at a ratio of 1/5 barrel of catalyst added to the reactor.

A highly detailed, photorealistic, cinematic vertical medium shot of a beautiful young East Asian woman posing confidently inside a modern commercial gym, wearing a white athletic ensemble, rendered in a bright, clean, and energetic fitness lifestyle editorial style. Shot Angle & Pose: The image is captured from a slightly low angle, looking slightly upward at the subject, framing her from approximately the hips up in a close, commanding medium shot. She is standing upright facing the camera with a natural, confident posture. Her right hand is placed on her right hip or waist, while her left hand is lowered at her side, wearing a fingerless gym glove. Her body faces the camera directly with a relaxed, casual stance. She gazes directly into the camera with a warm, soft, and naturally charming smile — her expression bright, approachable, and quietly confident — the authentic smile of someone comfortable and at ease in their environment. Subject Appearance: She has a smooth, fair East Asian complexion with naturally luminous skin rendered in hyper-realistic detail, glowing with a healthy warmth. Her dark brown to black hair is styled up in a casual, slightly messy updo or high bun — with soft, wispy face-framing tendrils falling along her temples and cheeks, adding softness to the styled look. Her facial features are youthful and naturally beautiful — large, clear eyes with a warm, bright expression and clean, polished everyday makeup including defined lashes and a soft rosy flush; a small refined nose; and full lips in a soft natural rose tone with a genuine smile. A delicate gold chain necklace with a small round pendant rests at her collarbone. Character Figure: She has a dramatically curvaceous, hourglass figure — an extraordinarily full, rounded bust prominently displayed by the strapless bandeau top, a visibly defined and flat bare midriff, and full, rounded hips and thighs emphasized by the high-waisted athletic shorts. Her overall physique is both voluptuous and toned — a combination of soft curves and athletic definition. Outfit Details: She is wearing a coordinated white athletic gym ensemble: Top: A white strapless bandeau or tube top — smooth, fitted, and structured, in a clean white athletic fabric with a slight compression quality. The top ends just below the bust, fully exposing the midriff. Shorts/Bottoms: High-waisted white athletic biker shorts or compression shorts — smooth, form-fitting, sitting at the natural waist and ending at the mid-thigh. The fabric is a smooth, matte athletic stretch material that conforms closely to the hips and thighs. Gloves: Black fingerless gym workout gloves worn on the left hand — classic weight-training gloves with open fingers and a padded palm. Jewelry: A delicate gold chain necklace with a small round gold or gemstone pendant. Setting & Lighting: Setting: A modern, well-equipped commercial gym interior. The background reveals a spacious gym floor with multiple large yellow and purple weight training machines arranged in rows — the signature yellow and purple color scheme of a recognizable gym chain. Large windows in the background allow natural light to filter in, with softly blurred green outdoor foliage visible beyond. The gym floor has a dark rubber mat surface. The overall environment is clean, bright, and professionally equipped — a contemporary urban fitness facility. Lighting: Bright, clean mixed lighting — natural daylight from the large background windows combined with the gym's overhead fluorescent or LED lighting — illuminates the scene with even, high-key brightness. The subject's skin is rendered with a clean, healthy, naturally radiant glow. The white athletic outfit is crisp and bright under the clean light. The yellow and purple gym equipment in the background creates a bold, energetic color contrast. Shadows are minimal and soft, maintaining the bright, motivational energy of the fitness environment.

Cinematic vertical 9:16 composition.A heavily equipped tactical soldier stands in a calm three-quarter profile stance, wearing advanced combat gear, helmet headset and a skull-pattern mask. He holds a rifle across his chest while the rest of his equipment hangs from a detailed tactical vest.The entire scene is flooded with a dominant radiant golden-yellow energy field acting as the primary emissive light source, saturating the atmosphere and background.Subtle neon plasma currents drift through the glowing haze, introducing secondary colors — amber, molten orange, hints of magenta and faint cyan — blending softly into the dominant golden glow.The intense light spills across the armor plates, fabric folds and weapon surfaces, creating glowing color gradients and strong rim lighting along the silhouette.Soft bloom and glow diffusion allow the radiant colors to bleed into the surrounding atmosphere while luminous particles and sparks drift around the figure.Dark cinematic contrast, ultra-detailed painterly realism, vibrant multi-color emissive lighting with dominant radiant yellow palette.

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards. This equipment aligns with the technical and engineering requirements for bitumen products, complies with Iraqi standard specifications, and adheres to environmental considerations in the Anbar Governorate. 1. Extraction Stage The raw material (solid or liquid) is extracted from quarries designated by the Geological Survey Authority using specialized mechanical equipment. It is stored in stocks or special basins for solid materials, then transported to the refinery site using specialized transport vehicles of various capacities. 2. Storage Stage The raw materials are stored in designated yards to ensure a sufficient inventory for continuous, uninterrupted production for no less than 7 working days. 3. Raw Material Preparation and Primary Heating Stage Raw materials are fed into the plant via hydraulic lifts. This stage includes: • 3-1: Crushing and Digestion: Solid raw materials from the quarries are broken down and digested using a digester (SH-01) equipped with double blades driven by hydraulic motors (22.5 kW capacity). The digester is 5 meters long and 1.80 meters in diameter, made of carbon steel, with Stainless Steel 304 blades. It includes a Stainless Steel piston driven by a 7.5 kW electric motor. • 3-2: Primary Heating: This melts the bitumen and improves pumpability through pipes and pumps. • 3-3: Efficiency Enhancement: To increase melting efficiency, Gas Oil is added to the primary heating basin at a ratio of 1:5 per ton of solid raw material entering the basin (this ratio decreases when using liquid raw bitumen). o 3-2-1: Primary Melting Basin (TK-01): Raw material is heated in a concrete tank (25m L x 5m W x 3m H) with a maximum storage capacity of 300 tons. Heating pipes circulate thermal fluid (oil) at 125°C, with a retention time of 4-6 hours. The tank is internally lined with 6-8 mm carbon steel plates to protect the heating pipes from corrosion. It contains 8 Stainless Steel 304 mixers (MX-01 A/B/C/D/E/F) driven by 7.5 kW electric motors (50 RPM) and gearboxes (1:60 ratio) to mix the material, increase heating efficiency, reduce retention time, and circulate the melted bitumen to eliminate dissolved water, resulting in a homogeneous melt. Covered with a carbon steel roof with service hatches, it connects to an air duct (30x60 cm) linked to 2 air blowers (AB-01A/B) (one operating, one standby) at 22.5 kW / 1500 RPM.

Alumina (Al2O3): Enhances the cracking of chemical bonds in heavy bitumen chains and increases Gas Oil extraction yield. 2. Manganese Dioxide (MnO2): Accelerates the reaction, reduces reaction time, and acts as a gasoline improver. 3. Silicon Dioxide (SiO2): Increases acceleration and reduces reaction time. 4. Iron Oxides (Fe2O): Accelerates the reaction, prevents pipe corrosion, and stops sulfur and wax from sticking to pipes and pumps. Weight Ratios (WT/WT) to Produce One Barrel (200 Liters) of Catalyst: 1. Alumina: Varies by feed: 2-2.5% for Bitumen / 4-5% for Vacuum Residue (VR) / 2-2.5% for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). To increase Gas Oil/Diesel (Light fuel) yield, Alumina can be added up to a maximum of 10%. 2. Manganese Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for VR and Bitumen. 3. Iron Oxides: 2-2.5% across all feeds. 4. Silicon Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for Bitumen and VR. 5. Remaining Volume: Filled with C-oil. Note: One barrel (200 Liters) of this mixture is added for every 5 tons of HFO, VR, or Bitumen. Manufacturing Mechanism: All components are placed in a tank, initially mixed with water, and heated to 80-120°C with continuous mixing (20-30 RPM). Once foam is generated, the product is allowed to cool to 80°C. The heating process up to 120°C is repeated 3 or 4 times until foaming ceases. Finally, the temperature is raised to 150°C, and the mixture is topped off to 200 liters using C-oil. To further improve light compound specifications, Zinc Oxide (300 grams) is mixed with 20 kg of Bentonite in C-oil. This is added alongside the catalyst at a ratio of 1/5 barrel of catalyst added to the reactor.

Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards.

Alumina (Al2O3): Enhances the cracking of chemical bonds in heavy bitumen chains and increases Gas Oil extraction yield. 2. Manganese Dioxide (MnO2): Accelerates the reaction, reduces reaction time, and acts as a gasoline improver. 3. Silicon Dioxide (SiO2): Increases acceleration and reduces reaction time. 4. Iron Oxides (Fe2O): Accelerates the reaction, prevents pipe corrosion, and stops sulfur and wax from sticking to pipes and pumps. Weight Ratios (WT/WT) to Produce One Barrel (200 Liters) of Catalyst: 1. Alumina: Varies by feed: 2-2.5% for Bitumen / 4-5% for Vacuum Residue (VR) / 2-2.5% for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). To increase Gas Oil/Diesel (Light fuel) yield, Alumina can be added up to a maximum of 10%. 2. Manganese Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for VR and Bitumen. 3. Iron Oxides: 2-2.5% across all feeds. 4. Silicon Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for Bitumen and VR. 5. Remaining Volume: Filled with C-oil. Note: One barrel (200 Liters) of this mixture is added for every 5 tons of HFO, VR, or Bitumen. Manufacturing Mechanism: All components are placed in a tank, initially mixed with water, and heated to 80-120°C with continuous mixing (20-30 RPM). Once foam is generated, the product is allowed to cool to 80°C. The heating process up to 120°C is repeated 3 or 4 times until foaming ceases. Finally, the temperature is raised to 150°C, and the mixture is topped off to 200 liters using C-oil. To further improve light compound specifications, Zinc Oxide (300 grams) is mixed with 20 kg of Bentonite in C-oil. This is added alongside the catalyst at a ratio of 1/5 barrel of catalyst added to the reactor.
Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2.

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards.

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards.

Weight Ratios (WT/WT) to Produce One Barrel (200 Liters) of Catalyst: 1. Alumina: Varies by feed: 2-2.5% for Bitumen / 4-5% for Vacuum Residue (VR) / 2-2.5% for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). To increase Gas Oil/Diesel (Light fuel) yield, Alumina can be added up to a maximum of 10%. 2. Manganese Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for VR and Bitumen. 3. Iron Oxides: 2-2.5% across all feeds. 4.

Manufacturing Mechanism: All components are placed in a tank, initially mixed with water, and heated to 80-120°C with continuous mixing (20-30 RPM). Once foam is generated, the product is allowed to cool to 80°C. The heating process up to 120°C is repeated 3 or 4 times until foaming ceases.

This is added alongside the catalyst at a ratio of 1/5 barrel of catalyst added to the reactor.
Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards.

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards. This equipment aligns with the technical and engineering requirements for bitumen products, complies with Iraqi standard specifications, and adheres to environmental considerations in the Anbar Governorate. 1. Extraction Stage The raw material (solid or liquid) is extracted from quarries designated by the Geological Survey Authority using specialized mechanical equipment. It is stored in stocks or special basins for solid materials, then transported to the refinery site using specialized transport vehicles of various capacities. 2. Storage Stage The raw materials are stored in designated yards to ensure a sufficient inventory for continuous, uninterrupted production for no less than 7 working days. 3. Raw Material Preparation and Primary Heating Stage Raw materials are fed into the plant via hydraulic lifts. This stage includes: • 3-1: Crushing and Digestion: Solid raw materials from the quarries are broken down and digested using a digester (SH-01) equipped with double blades driven by hydraulic motors (22.5 kW capacity). The digester is 5 meters long and 1.80 meters in diameter, made of carbon steel, with Stainless Steel 304 blades. It includes a Stainless Steel piston driven by a 7.5 kW electric motor. • 3-2: Primary Heating: This melts the bitumen and improves pumpability through pipes and pumps. • 3-3: Efficiency Enhancement: To increase melting efficiency, Gas Oil is added to the primary heating basin at a ratio of 1:5 per ton of solid raw material entering the basin (this ratio decreases when using liquid raw bitumen). o 3-2-1: Primary Melting Basin (TK-01): Raw material is heated in a concrete tank (25m L x 5m W x 3m H) with a maximum storage capacity of 300 tons. Heating pipes circulate thermal fluid (oil) at 125°C, with a retention time of 4-6 hours. The tank is internally lined with 6-8 mm carbon steel plates to protect the heating pipes from corrosion. It contains 8 Stainless Steel 304 mixers (MX-01 A/B/C/D/E/F) driven by 7.5 kW electric motors (50 RPM) and gearboxes (1:60 ratio) to mix the material, increase heating efficiency, reduce retention time, and circulate the melted bitumen to eliminate dissolved water, resulting in a homogeneous melt. Covered with a carbon steel roof with service hatches, it connects to an air duct (30x60 cm) linked to 2 air blowers (AB-01A/B) (one operating, one standby) at 22.5 kW / 1500 RPM. These extract water vapor and sulfur fumes, sending them to a scrubber before atmospheric release and water recycling. o 3-2-2: Primary Collection Tank (V-01): A carbon steel tank (12-14 mm thick) with a maximum capacity of 125 tons (10m L x 5m W x 3m H).

Specialized Bitumen Refining Plant Governorate: Anbar / Hit District Production Capacity: ( ) Tons/Day The city of Hit in the Anbar Governorate is considered one of the most famous areas in the world for its natural "bitumen springs," which have been used for thousands of years (dating back to the Babylonian and Assyrian eras). However, processing this bitumen for modern use requires technical steps to transform it from a raw material into a viable product for construction or industrial applications. Bitumen emerges from these springs as a highly viscous liquid mixed with sulfurous water, salts, and mud impurities. This "Natural Asphalt" differs from petroleum bitumen produced in refineries, and it can also appear in the form of rocky or spongy blocks mixed with mud. To obtain industrially usable products from this bitumen, specifically for: 1. Waterproofing (Felt/Membranes): Considered one of the best coating materials for building foundations to prevent moisture leakage due to its high resistance to hydrolysis. 2. Road Paving: Mixed with gravel and sand to produce asphalt concrete. It is characterized by exceptionally high cohesive strength compared to industrial bitumen. The natural bitumen from these springs must undergo several fundamental processing stages to become industrially viable: 1. Collection and Sedimentation: Bitumen is collected from the springs or quarry sites and left in designated basins to allow the sulfurous water to naturally separate (due to density differences). 2. Primary Heating: The raw bitumen is placed in large boilers to: a. Evaporate the remaining water. b. Reduce viscosity for easier handling. 3. Filtration and Purification: The heated bitumen is screened to remove solid impurities such as gravel, dirt, and suspended organic matter. 4. Secondary Heating and Cooking: The temperature of the bitumen is raised, improving agents are added, and it is prepared for the vacuum distillation process. 5. Vacuum Distillation: The distillation process is conducted under low pressure (vacuum pressure), which allows for: a. The separation of light oils and volatile substances at lower temperatures. b. The production of highly pure "Hard Asphalt," which is highly demanded in the construction industry. ________________________________________ Plant Components and Operational Stages The specialized bitumen plant for processing raw natural bitumen (in both liquid and solid states) consists of a range of specialized equipment designed according to the latest international standards. This equipment aligns with the technical and engineering requirements for bitumen products, complies with Iraqi standard specifications, and adheres to environmental considerations in the Anbar Governorate. 1. Extraction Stage The raw material (solid or liquid) is extracted from quarries designated by the Geological Survey Authority using specialized mechanical equipment. It is stored in stocks or special basins for solid materials, then transported to the refinery site using specialized transport vehicles of various capacities. 2. Storage Stage The raw materials are stored in designated yards to ensure a sufficient inventory for continuous, uninterrupted production for no less than 7 working days. 3. Raw Material Preparation and Primary Heating Stage Raw materials are fed into the plant via hydraulic lifts. This stage includes: • 3-1: Crushing and Digestion: Solid raw materials from the quarries are broken down and digested using a digester (SH-01) equipped with double blades driven by hydraulic motors (22.5 kW capacity). The digester is 5 meters long and 1.80 meters in diameter, made of carbon steel, with Stainless Steel 304 blades. It includes a Stainless Steel piston driven by a 7.5 kW electric motor. • 3-2: Primary Heating: This melts the bitumen and improves pumpability through pipes and pumps. • 3-3: Efficiency Enhancement: To increase melting efficiency, Gas Oil is added to the primary heating basin at a ratio of 1:5 per ton of solid raw material entering the basin (this ratio decreases when using liquid raw bitumen). o 3-2-1: Primary Melting Basin (TK-01): Raw material is heated in a concrete tank (25m L x 5m W x 3m H) with a maximum storage capacity of 300 tons. Heating pipes circulate thermal fluid (oil) at 125°C, with a retention time of 4-6 hours. The tank is internally lined with 6-8 mm carbon steel plates to protect the heating pipes from corrosion. It contains 8 Stainless Steel 304 mixers (MX-01 A/B/C/D/E/F) driven by 7.5 kW electric motors (50 RPM) and gearboxes (1:60 ratio) to mix the material, increase heating efficiency, reduce retention time, and circulate the melted bitumen to eliminate dissolved water, resulting in a homogeneous melt. Covered with a carbon steel roof with service hatches, it connects to an air duct (30x60 cm) linked to 2 air blowers (AB-01A/B) (one operating, one standby) at 22.5 kW / 1500 RPM. These extract water vapor and sulfur fumes, sending them to a scrubber before atmospheric release and water recycling. o 3-2-2: Primary Collection Tank (V-01): A carbon steel tank (12-14 mm thick) with a maximum capacity of 125 tons (10m L x 5m W x 3m H).

Alumina (Al2O3): Enhances the cracking of chemical bonds in heavy bitumen chains and increases Gas Oil extraction yield. 2. Manganese Dioxide (MnO2): Accelerates the reaction, reduces reaction time, and acts as a gasoline improver. 3. Silicon Dioxide (SiO2): Increases acceleration and reduces reaction time. 4. Iron Oxides (Fe2O): Accelerates the reaction, prevents pipe corrosion, and stops sulfur and wax from sticking to pipes and pumps. Weight Ratios (WT/WT) to Produce One Barrel (200 Liters) of Catalyst: 1. Alumina: Varies by feed: 2-2.5% for Bitumen / 4-5% for Vacuum Residue (VR) / 2-2.5% for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). To increase Gas Oil/Diesel (Light fuel) yield, Alumina can be added up to a maximum of 10%. 2. Manganese Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for VR and Bitumen. 3. Iron Oxides: 2-2.5% across all feeds. 4. Silicon Dioxide: 2-2.5% for HFO / 4-5% for Bitumen and VR. 5. Remaining Volume: Filled with C-oil. Note: One barrel (200 Liters) of this mixture is added for every 5 tons of HFO, VR, or Bitumen. Manufacturing Mechanism: All components are placed in a tank, initially mixed with water, and heated to 80-120°C with continuous mixing (20-30 RPM). Once foam is generated, the product is allowed to cool to 80°C. The heating process up to 120°C is repeated 3 or 4 times until foaming ceases. Finally, the temperature is raised to 150°C, and the mixture is topped off to 200 liters using C-oil. To further improve light compound specifications, Zinc Oxide (300 grams) is mixed with 20 kg of Bentonite in C-oil. This is added alongside the catalyst at a ratio of 1/5 barrel of catalyst added to the reactor.
