Commercial building fire in Gary, IN 11-11-20

<

From Tim Olk A massive plume of black smoke billowing from a building fire caught my attention last week. The image speaks volumes about the intensity and chaos of such an event. Below is the photograph I took, capturing the dramatic scene. ![Tim Olk photo](#) *Caption: A vivid depiction of a building engulfed in flames.* --- As I scrolled through my gallery, I revisited several other shots taken during that day. Each thumbnail holds its own story, offering a glimpse into moments frozen in time. The series is incomplete without experiencing it as a whole.

Was it the scale of the smoke, the stark contrast of colors, or something else entirely? Let’s talk—it’s always fascinating to hear perspectives! P.S. Special thanks to everyone who has followed along with these posts. Your engagement keeps this going. [Show slideshow]

Bitumen Heating Storage Equipment

Asphalt heating storage equipment is an important road construction equipment, mainly used to heat and store asphalt in order to carry out road construction and maintenance when needed. The equipment has the characteristics of high efficiency, safety and environmental protection, and can provide stable asphalt supply for road construction.

Asphalt heating storage equipment is mainly composed of heating device, storage tank and control system. The heating unit uses oil or gas burners to transfer heat to the asphalt to heat it to the proper temperature. Storage tanks are large containers used to store heated asphalt, generally made of high-temperature resistant materials. The control system is responsible for monitoring the operating status of the equipment and the temperature of the asphalt to ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment.

The heating principle of asphalt heating storage equipment is to transfer heat to asphalt through thermal conduction, so that it is heated. Heating devices are generally divided into direct heating and indirect heating in two ways. Direct heating is the use of the burner directly into the storage tank, hot air through the contact of hot air with the asphalt to heat it. Indirect heating is the use of heat exchangers to heat the asphalt in the storage tank without direct contact with the air. The two heating methods have advantages and disadvantages, and need to be selected according to the actual situation.

Asphalt heating storage equipment heating speed, can quickly heat asphalt to the use of temperature, improve production efficiency. At the same time, the equipment also has environmental protection characteristics, reducing exhaust gas and smoke emissions, reducing the impact on the environment. In addition, the operation of asphalt heating storage equipment is simple and easy to maintain, which can meet the needs of various road construction and maintenance projects.

In short, asphalt heating storage equipment is an important road construction equipment, with high efficiency, safety, environmental protection and other characteristics. It can provide a stable supply of asphalt for road construction, improve construction efficiency, reduce the impact on the environment and waste of resources. The equipment has a wide application prospect in the field of road construction.
