How Old is Bitumen?

Archaeologists have found traces of the use of natural bituminous materials dating from 5 000 BC. Bitumen as caulking for Noah’s Ark and Moses’ cradle is mentioned in the Old Testament. More recently, particularly in the XIXth century, painters used asphalt or bitumen on their canvasses to obtain blacks with a brown tint.

How is Bitumen Obtained ?

Bitumen is obtained essentially by distillation of a blend of crudes containing at least one bitumen crude. The others, which are lighter, go to satisfy requirements for different types of fuel and combustibles. Contrary to a common but mistaken idea, bitumen is not an oil residue that the petroleum industry wants to get rid of at little cost. In reality, to produce bitumen of good quality with constant properties, refiners meticulously select one or more bitumen crudes, following very strict internal approval procedures.

Of the 1 300 types of crude oil classified worldwide, only 10 % are suitable for producing bitumen capable of meeting the specifications for use. These types are known as bitumen crudes.

In a nutshell, bitumen is a blend of hydrocarbons, solid and semi-solid and brown or black in colour.
