Evaluation of Possibility of Producing Road Bitumen in Cameroon

This article, which deals with Technologies for integrated processing of mineral raw materials to produce new generation materials, was compiled in order to identify opportunities to obtain refined petroleum products such as "bitumen" in demand in Cameroon after the destruction of part of the SONARA oil refining company by fire. During our research, we carried out an on-site inspection of the refinery processing equipment and the refinery infrastructure for the purpose of technical expertise, modernization and the potential configuration of bitumen production at the aid for installations and infrastructure at the SONARA oil refinery. As a result of this destruction by fire of a part of the SONARA oil refinery, refining of petroleum and petroleum products is not currently underway. Surviving units are temporarily closed. The production facilities are monitored, visited and examined. The pressure in the containers is checked, Judging by the nature of the debris, especially the piping and processing equipment, it is necessary to completely remove the damaged equipment, build new units and adapt them with the few units saved in order to refine and produce new petroleum products.
