To most people bitumen is an unknown material although it is the most important ingredient in asphalt pavements, something that everyone knows and uses every day. By merely distilling crude oil a substance is produced with unique properties and durability, which could not have been produced by synthetic means, at least not in those quantities used. The production is not that simple and the raw mat

Vid anläggning av djupa borrhål med tryckluftsdriven sänkhammarborrning transporteras oundvikligen bortborrat berg blandat med grundvatten upp till markytan. I Sverige spolas kaxvattnet oftast ut i en cirka 10 m3 stor container för att de grövsta partiklarna ska sedimentera innan vattnet pumpas vidare. Efter grovavskiljning kan vattnet fortfarande innehålla höga halter av suspenderade partiklar. IWhen drilling a borehole using a down-the-hole hammer driven by pressurized air drill cuttings mixed with groundwater are unavoidably transported to the surface. In Sweden the most common practice is to flush the waste water out into a roughly 10 m3 container where the coarsest particles can settle before the water is pumped away. After separating the coarsest particles the waste water can still c
