Definitions

  • the present invention is in the technical field of asphalt production. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of microwave energy in the production of asphalt products.
  • Hot-mix asphalt (“HMA”) facilities may be permanently located (also called “stationary” facilities), or it may be portable and moved from job to job. Hot-mix facilities may be classified as either a batch facility or a drum-mix facility; both can be either stationary or portable. Batch-type hot-mixing facilities use different size fractions of hot aggregate which are drawn in proportional amounts from storage bins to make up one batch for mixing. The combination of aggregates is dumped into a mixing chamber called a pugmill. The hot liquid asphalt, which has also been weighed, is then thoroughly mixed with the aggregate in the pugmill.
  • the material After mixing, the material it is then emptied from the pugmill into trucks, storage silos, or surge bins.
  • the drum-mixing process heats and blends the aggregates with asphalt all at the same time in the drum mixer. Typically $500-$700 or more of natural fuels are burned for every hour of production.
  • the hot-mix is then transported to the paving site and spread with a paving machine in a partially compacted layer to a uniform and even surface layer. While still hot, the paving mixture is further compacted by heavy rolling machines to produce a smooth pavement surface.
  • Heat used in the production of hot-mix asphalt is one of the main targets in efforts to reduce the energy profile and environmental impact of such facilities.
  • Prior art facilities consume large amounts of energy and produce substantial amounts of pollutants.
  • WMA or warm mix asphalt was developed as a solution, but this solution suffers from a number of drawbacks. While hot-mix asphalt is produced at 350 to 400 degrees, WMA is produced at 300 degrees, which still requires enormous energy and produces only incrementally less pollutants. While these mixes show slight promise more information is needed to draw definitive conclusions regarding their effectiveness and performance as pavemet, but WMA does not does not fundamentally solve the underlying problems associated with asphalt production.
  • RAP recycled pavement material
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an improved apparatus and method for an asphalt plant for producing a high performance hot mix asphalt product, comprising, RAP material, emulsion added to the RAP, and low energy microwave heating system for processing the RAP emulsion mix.
  • FIG. 1 is a drawing of a prior art asphalt plant.
  • FIG. 2 is a depiction of the steps of a process of producing high performance hot mix asphalt (“HMA”) in accordance with the present invention.
  • the drawing on the left depicts recycled asphalt pavement (“RAP”) material (up to 100%) from roadways or parking lots; the drawing in the center depicts a sized and injected engineered emulsion, which can constitute about 5% of the product; and the drawing on the right depicts a fused high performance HMA.

  • the present invention comprises a plant for producing a low energy asphalt pavement, which utilizes tested and designed equipment having a low energy heating system using microwave technology and manufacturing process (“LEHS”) for using up to 100% recycled asphalt pavement (“RAP”) to convert it into high performance hot mix asphalt (“HMA”) that out performs prior art asphalt products of any type.
  • LEHS uses very little energy and generates virtually untraceable amounts of pollution when compared to current existing methods of producing HMA.
  • the process comprises the steps shown in FIG. 2 .
  • the process starts with RAP material recovered from roadways, parking lots or other paved surfaces.
  • the process can use varying amounts of RAP including up to 100% RAP, which allows for maximum reuse or recycling of product.
  • An emulsion is added to the product, as describe in more detail below, the emulsion can constitute about 5% of the product (or variations therefrom). After processing as described below, a fused high performance HMA product is produced.
  • the injection process can use conventionally available engineered asphalt emulsions at a rate of 4% to 8%.
  • the finished material has strength characteristic twice that of the best HMA currently in production, and at least as much flexibility to resist cracking as with prior art HMA.
  • the production process utilizes a much smaller footprint than existing pavement HMA manufacturing plants.
  • the production process utilizes substantially less energy, reduces the processing temperatures, and produces substantially less pollution, and unlike prior art asphalt production facilities these advantages allow the production facility to be placed inside an enclosed building opening up better strategic plant placement reducing trucking making the process and product more economical.
  • the facility without the prior art environmental and other problems, can be located closer to the points of use of the product, which tend to be in densely populated areas that previously would not be suitable locations for an asphalt plant.
  • an enclosed plant can operate in cold and inclement weather, which is not possible or practical for outdoor facilities.
  • the present invention substantially eliminates these and other problems.
  • FIG. 3 describes the general flow of the process of producing HMA in accord with the present invention. The steps thereof are described herein below.
  • the low energy asphalt production (“LEAP”) process of the present invention process involves RAP receiving, RAP sizing and engineered emulsion injection, ambient temperature I-RAP (RAP injected with emulsion) storage, processing through the low energy microwave heating system (“LEHS”), and storage and shipping of the final HMA product.
  • LAP low energy asphalt production
  • the LEAP standard HMA mix design is based on weight, and is to utilize about between 4 to 8 percent emulsion, about between 96 to 92 percent RAP, and optional addition about 1 percent lime, corresponding to an 85 tons per hour (“TPH”) RAP feed rate, 4.5 TPH of emulsion, and 0.9 TPH of lime.
  • Incoming RAP can be stored inside or outside the facility. Storing inside prior to processing will reduce moisture content on the feedstock from approximately 4 to 7 percent moisture at the time of delivery to minimum quantities at the time of use. Excess water, if any, is driven off within the microwave heating section and does not impact the final product quality.
  • LEAP receives RAP via end dump trucks through a truck sized garage door opening in the side of the processing building; the incoming material is moved with a front end loader, conveyor or similar device. RAP is piled in a corner of the building forming multiple connected piles designed preferably for combined storage of approximately 20,000 tons of material. Incoming RAP is to be graded by source. LEAP intends to utilize RAP from highways or other public projects to the extent practical to limit the amount of incoming aggregate that is outside typical HMA DOT specifications. Should it become necessary to utilize RAP from multiple sources, LEAP intends to from multiple piles to facilitate multiple mix designs.
  • RAP is to be ground using nominal 250TPH throughput grinding and blending unit, which are commercially available from Nesbitt Contracting or Caterpillar Corporation, which is designed to size RAP to between one and a-quarter inch and one-half inch size depending on final mix design.
  • the crushing/injection unit includes a screen on the incoming RAP that allows material of one and one half inch or less in size to enter the grinding section. Oversized material that will not pass through the incoming screen is sent to a crushing section to be reduced in size and then returned to the incoming screen. Water is added to the RAP prior to grinding to control dust and minimize heat generation within the grinding machine.
  • Output from the grinding section is sent to two parallel pug mills, which have the ability to blend or inject up to two different grades of the liquid engineered emulsion with the ground RAP.
  • Solid and liquid material is blended within a pug mill using the opposing paddles on two parallel shafts; the paddles simultaneously mix the material and push the mixture from the inlet to the outlet of the mill.
  • the RAP-emulsion blend known as intermediate or injected RAP (“I-RAP”), is to be conveyed from the outlet and piled on either side of the crushing/injection unit, production is sized such that the I-RAP material can be produced at approximately 3 times the rate of the heating process (described below).
  • I-RAP can be stored at ambient temperature for up to 8 weeks prior to processing into HMA.
  • LHS Low Energy Heating System
  • LEAP utilizes a microwave heating system (shown in FIG. 4 ) to heat the I-RAP to a pre-specified temperature prior to delivery for silo storage and/or to paving contractors.
  • This system known by LEAP as the Low Energy Heating System (“LEHS”), uses microwave energy of about 915 MHz to selectively heat the aggregate within the I-RAP, enabling LEAP to heat the mixture without degrading the asphalt cement within the emulsion.
  • LEAP uses two parallel heating systems with a minimum of about 300 kW to 800 kW, each with 45 to 75 TPH of capacity, to process the I-RAP.
  • Each LEHS system includes a minimum of four microwave transmitter units with a splitter/wave guide that directs microwave energy from each transmitter into two rotary head heating chambers, resulting in a combined eight chambers per system (16 heating chambers per facility).
  • I-RAP is passed through the microwave heating chambers using a belt conveyor at an I-RAP depth of slightly greater than 3 inches.
  • the engineered emulsions designed for use with the LEHS are preferably capable of insulating and protecting the remaining asphalt binder present in the RAP from the violent heating power of the microwaves.
  • aged RAP normally has 2.4 to 4% asphaltene binder
  • asphaltines are present in asphalt and the ratio of desirable maltenes to asphaltenes decreases over time due to weathering and oxidation causing the asphalt to become dry or brittle.
  • High concentration of asphaltene has heretofore limited the usefulness of RAP such that it either cannot be used, can only be used in limited quantities resulting on an inferior dry brittle product, or the asphaltines can be burned off at temperature producing pollutants.
  • LEAP can utilize up to 100% RAP because it can rejuvenate asphaltenes, or otherwise increase the ration of maltenes to asphaltenes resulting in a very high quality HMA product.
  • the microwave transmitters have the ability to generate variable or constant power and the degree of heating is to be controlled by LEAP by adjusting the power and conveyor belt speed to increase or reduce the exposure time of the I-RAP within the LEHS. By varying the intensity of the power within the chamber or series of chambers different HMA mix designs can be produced with different performance characteristics.
  • FIGS. 5-8 Various exemplary layouts for the LEAS/LEAP plant are shown in FIGS. 5-8 , and can accommodate up to two LEHS systems can be located in close proximity within a plant.
  • LEAP HMA for has been tested in comparison to Superior Performing Asphalt Pavements (“Superpave”) standard developed for the U.S. Department of Transposition, Federal Highway Commission and used for all paving projects that are funded in a whole or in part by federal funds.
  • the principal measurement used for the evaluation of HMA is the tensile strength ratio (“TSR”) which is used to predict the durability of the HMA.
  • TSR tensile strength ratio
  • TSR Minimum TSR for Select State DOT Specifications
  • MS with 1% lime
  • VA OR, FL, AL, NM, OK, SD, IA, NY, GA, AR, MN 70% CA, NV, MO, CO 60% AZ Hamburg Rut Test TX, LA, UT
  • the graph in FIG. 9 shows the results for testing of two variations of the LEAP HMA.
  • the Green line represents material that was heated to 220 degrees; the purple line was heated to 290 degrees.
  • VOC volatile organic carbon
  • LEAP Technologies plants can be placed in almost any industrial zoning that supports trucking traffic. This significantly increases the competitive advantage over conventional asphalt plants by going where they cannot.
  • HMA plants due to pollution and emission issues, had to be located remotely, and typically not near locations where the HMA product is used. This greatly increased cost associated with product use because the product has to be transported greater distances than in possible with LEAP plants.
  • LEAP plants can be located indoors and have much reduced energy needs they can be operated year round in colder climates and at much lower operating costs. Strategic locations will reduce hauling rates and improve the economic impact to the end users.
  • LEAP plants have a much smaller footprint than conventional asphalt plants, providing even greater advantages.
  • LEAP plants can be operated at the same time or operated based on product demand. Unlike existing conventional HMA plants there is little effort to engage production, simply turn on a few switches and your production ready. The ease of production engagement allows ability to have material readily available 12 months a year, even in northern climates. Existing HMA plants in the northern regions are required to shut down during the winter months due to the high operational costs and required placement outdoors.
  • LEAP plants can be located within a city in a facility of 40,000 sq. ft. or larger. By bringing the entire production process inside you retain the ability to produce anytime without the high cold weather start-up costs associated with conventional HMA plants.
  • the LEAS system could be used to modify existing asphalt plants to allow them to either reduce the level of pollution, by reducing the heat necessary, and/or to increase the amount of RAP used in the creation of HMA to perhaps as high as about 70% to 80%.
