Crude Oil

KBC’s Basket of Crude Oil is Selected to Give the Highest Asphalt Yield

KBC is the leading and only refinery in Asia Pacific that consistently produces Naphthenic Asphalt, which has superior qualities compared to Paraffinic Asphalt on many key performance parameters

Naphthenic CRUDE OIL

Asphaltic nature  of crude oil means excellent feedstock for Asphalt manufacturers

Heavy crude oil

Low API Gravity of 10-16 results in a higher yield of Asphalt

High Asphaltene Content

Higher Asphalt yield means more high-quality Asphalt production

Higher viscosity

Higher viscosity gives better properties for paving-grade bitumen production

Typical Yield from KBC Refinery

Yield of a Barrel

Naphtha
1-5%
