Fuel savings with Triaso asphalt plants

Fuel consumption of column drums on row drums

	Triaso drums
	Basic	Plus	Counterflow
Triaso drum, Basic	-----------	Similar	75%
Triaso drum, Plus	Similar	-----------	75%
Counter-flow drum, other brands (average)	85%	85%	64%
Parallel flow drum, other brands (average)	75%	75%	56%

Regarding drums from other brands:

• Alternate fuels, not Diesel.
• No pre-heater.
• Does not have ‘Total Air’ type burner.
• No insulation.
• Cold or poorly sealed air inlets.
• They are not equipped with radiant heat pick up blades or they are inadequate.
• Their sailing blades are poorly designed.
• They have ‘cold air inlet’ in the counter flow drum.

Fuel expense calculations for your project

Fuel price (Per liter, tax included)	your price	Can use any currency, the calculation will be done based on that currency.
Fuel calorific value (Kcal/Kg)	your value	We suggest this as common value. A different value will affect the ‘Fuel Consumption’ but the proportions will remain constant for each drum.
Asphalt mix placed (Compacted M3)	your volume	The volume placed in the mixture should be approximately 77% of what’s produced by the plant.
Fuel consumption (liters per M3 produced by the plant)		Proven consumption of a basic TRIASO drum With aggregate humidity to 3%, and an altitude of 0 to 1000 meters above sea level.
