For a start-up making formulations that combine bitumen, kerosene, acids and amines you’ll want a compact, process-safe plant built around heated mixing vessels plus high‑shear homogenization and accurate dosing. Typical equipment includes insulated, steam- or electrically-heated stainless steel tanks with anchor agitators for low‑shear bulk blending and a rotor–stator disperser or colloid mill/inline high‑pressure homogenizer to produce stable emulsions and fine dispersions. Metering pumps for kerosene and liquid additives, pH and temperature probes, bag/inline filtration and vapor recovery or condensation for solvent control are essential for consistent product quality and environmental compliance.

Material compatibility and safety drive design choices: use 316L stainless for most components, PTFE or rubber linings and corrosion‑resistant alloys (or special coatings) where strong acids are handled, and select seals and pump materials rated for hydrocarbons and amines. Sequence and controls matter: heat bitumen to lower viscosity, add kerosene slowly under agitation, dose acid/amine and emulsifier with closed‑loop pH control, then pass the blend through the homogenizer to achieve target droplet size and viscosity. Monitor viscosity, softening point/penetration (for bituminous products), particle size and pH as your QC checks, and install ATEX‑rated motors, grounding and adequate ventilation because kerosene is flammable. If you want, tell me target batch size, throughput and whether you’ll produce cationic or anionic emulsions and I’ll suggest specific GlobeCore modules and a basic plant layout that fits your formulations and safety requirements.
