New Paraho plans to develop a commercial process for making shale-oil-modified road asphalt. Researchers have discovered that certain types of chemical compounds present in shale oil cause a significant reduction in moisture damage and a potential reduction in binder embrittlement when added to asphalt. In order to develop this potential market for shale oil modified asphalts, New Paraho has created an initial plan which is to result in (1) proven market performance of shale oil modified asphalt under actual climatic and road use conditions and (2) completion of a comprehensive commercial feasibility study and business plan as the basis for securing subsequent financing for a Colorado-based commercial production facility. The initial phase consists of producing sufficient quantities of shale oil to accommodate the construction and evaluation of a one mile test strip of shale oil-modified asphalt pavement. Once constructed, the test strip will be evaluated over a period of several years, during which time Paraho will complete site selection, engineering and cost estimates, and financing plans for a commercial production facility.
