Refinery Bitumen 

Bitumen is a by-product of refined petroleum. It is a black, oily substance that rather than being disposed of, has long been found ideal for road paving applications in coating the aggregate to provide a cohesive, stable, bonded surface capable of withstanding the heavy traffic typical of roads. Lake Asphalt of Trinidad and Tobago (1978) Limited processes all orders for the supply of 60/70 bitumen locally and regionally. 

Refinery bitumen is also exported to various Caribbean islands. The bulktainers containing refinery bitumen are exported via the Port of Port of Spain, emptied by the customer and returned to Lake Asphalt.
