Asphalt saturation of roofing felt on the felt machine: Phase I. Progress report, October 1978-December 1979

Description: The asphalt roofing industry manufactures approximately 10 million tons of product annually. This requires an estimated 40 trillion Btu's in process heat and 4 million tons of asphalt having a fuel value of 140 trillion Btu's. Energy savings in a number of areas appear possible. As an initial investigation, pilot equipment was installed on a commercial felt machine to determine whether saturation on the felt machine was feasible and whether energy savings would result. Work to date has demonstr… more
