Product analysis:
Heavy End is a dense, viscous hydrocarbon mixture that remains after the lighter fractions like gasoline, kerosene, and diesel are separated during the crude oil refining process. This residual product is composed of high molecular weight compounds including asphaltenes, paraffins, resins, and naphthenes.
Characterized by its high boiling point and dark, thick consistency, Heavy End is a crucial component in downstream petrochemical applications. It is commonly utilized as an industrial feedstock for asphalt, heavy fuel oil (HFO), lubricants, and other high-performance chemical derivatives.
With rising energy demand and limited refining margins, Heavy End residue is no longer treated as waste—it is a high-value commodity in bitumen production, marine fuels, and catalytic cracking feedstock. Baniar Petrochemical Company supplies this material under strict quality control and international standards.
-
High molecular weight composition
Heavy End consists of complex, long-chain hydrocarbons that contribute to its thick texture and high energy content, making it suitable for fuel and industrial products.
- Excellent thermal stability
Thanks to its high boiling range, Heavy End can endure elevated processing temperatures, which is essential in applications like asphalt manufacturing and refining.
- Industrial-grade fuel potential
It is widely used in blending bunker fuel and residual fuel oils for shipping, heavy machinery, and power plants.
- Rich in asphaltenes
Ideal for road bitumen production, its asphaltene content ensures structural durability, weather resistance, and long-term performance.
-
Asphalt & Bitumen Production
Heavy End is the primary ingredient in bitumen used for paving roads and waterproofing roofs. Its viscosity and stickiness make it an ideal binder in construction.
- Heavy Fuel Oils (HFO)
Blended into marine fuel oils or used directly in industrial furnaces and power generation, Heavy End plays a crucial role in energy production.
- Lubricants & Greases
It is processed into base oils and additives for high-load, high-temperature industrial lubricants.
- Feedstock for Petrochemicals
Used in catalytic or hydrocracking units, it yields lighter fuels and chemicals like gasoline, diesel, olefins, and aromatics.
Due to its viscous and semi-solid nature at room temperature, Heavy End requires heated transportation systems. It is typically shipped in insulated railcars, thermal pipelines, or heated tankers with special linings to prevent solidification during transit.
