Abstract: Methods and compositions for the production of polyethylene-ester bottoms modified asphalt are provided. These compositions reduce the fire and explosion hazard risks associated with the use of polyethylene. As these methods and compositions involve consumption of ester bottoms, a waste byproduct of refining, they provide sustainable asphalt materials.

Abstract: Asphalt binders and methods and systems to produce an asphalt binder that has an increased resistance to fatigue cracking and thermal cracking. In embodiments, a method includes, operating a distillation tower to produce an asphalt binder and transporting the asphalt binder to storage. The method may include determining a phase angle of the asphalt binder. The method may include, in response to the phase angle of the asphalt binder being less than a selected threshold, adding one or more amounts of tower bottoms or gas oil to the asphalt binder to adjust the phase angle of the asphalt binder to and produce a fatigue and thermal cracking resistant asphalt binder and then releasing the asphalt binder from the storage. The method may include testing a sample of the asphalt binder aged for a selected number of hours in a pressure aging vessel to confirm the asphalt binder meets specification requirements.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for the production of crosslinked polymer modified asphalt containing renewable products, such as ester bottoms or byproducts of soy oil or corn oil. Such compositions and methods may be used to reduce fire and explosion hazards associated with sulfur in preparation of crosslinked polymer modified asphalt.
