I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the speakers and delegates to F+L Week in Singapore. This year is especially an exciting one for us, as we have combined our two mega events into F+L Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the 4th Asia-Pacific Base Oil Conference and the 16th Annual Fuels & Lubes Asia Conference. In addition, we have introduced a Base Oil Training Course for the newbies and those who just want to go back to the fundamentals of the base oil business. My sincerest thanks to our corporate sponsors who contribute greatly to making this event possible. F+L Week is the biggest gathering for our industry in Asia-Pacific and continues to draw people from other regions, even as far as Africa. Indeed, you can say that F+L Week has become the melting pot for the industry, because this is where you learn of industry developments not only from Asia, but also from North America, Europe and the Middle East. Finally, the support and the guidance provided by our Conference Advisory Board make this event a great success year after year. I hope that you will enjoy networking with your colleagues and learn as much as I have as I pored over the excellent papers that will be presented this week. God bless!

4th Asia-Pacific Base Oil Conference

Keynote Presentation: The Outlook for Energy— A View to 2030 David Reed ExxonMobil Corp. David Reed is Senior Energy Advisor for the Corporate Strategic Planning Department of ExxonMobil Corp. David has been involved with many aspects of the global energy business during his more than 30 years with ExxonMobil. In addition to development of ExxonMobil’s Global Energy Outlook, he has handled the planning for the reorganization of ExxonMobil’s natural gas business in Europe and the initiation of projects to export LNG (liquefied natural gas) from Qatar to Europe. He was a member of the team that prepared the landmark National Petroleum Council Study, “Facing the Hard Truths About Energy” at the request of the U. S. Secretary of Energy. Economic progress and growing populations, especially in developing countries, will drive energy demand approximately 35% higher in 2030 versus 2005. This demand increase is anticipated despite substantial efficiency gains, which are expected to accelerate as new technologies are developed and deployed. Rising transportation needs will increase related energy requirements approximately 40% by 2030, even as light-duty vehicles with much better fuel economy penetrate the market. The rise in transportation demand will be met primarily by oil, which will provide close to 95% of all transportation fuels in 2030.

The Lube Base Oil Market in Asia Tony Regan Tri-Zen International Tony Regan is responsible for Business Development, Planning & Analysis for Tri‐Zen. He has extensive international oil and gas experience, much of it gained during 25 years as a senior executive with Shell International and more recently, with Nexant, where he was a Principal in their Asian consulting practice. Tony has been an Energy Consultant for 10 years and during that time he has undertaken a number of lubricant and base oil assignments for leading national and multinational oil companies. Projects have included a review of the Indian base oil market, the creation of an Asian base oil strategy and market entry plan for a European company, a base oil markets study for a North American company, an assessment of the demand for food-grade lubes in Asia, market advisory services to a Chinese base oil producer and an Indonesian lubes market overview and acquisition screening for a multi-national oil company. As a region, Asia-Pacific now dominates the global market for lubes and base oils and continues to grow. The number of market participants and their capabilities are also growing, driven in part by a demand for quality. Other factors influencing the rapid changes in the market include the globalization of vehicle

markets, leading to requirements for uniform and consistent standards. While the majors continue to have a dominant role in the region and Singapore remains a base oil trading hub, the national oil companies have an increasing presence and influence.

has significantly increased during the last years and new capacity has been announced to come on stream in the coming years. In the unpredictability of global events, one thing appears quite likely and that is that the future base oil market will be very different from the way it looks today.

The Changes in the Global Base Oil Market and their Potential Impact on the Lubricant Industry

Technology for High-Quality Lubricants Production

Valentina Serra-Holm Nynas AB Valentina Serra-Holm has a Ph.D. in Chemical Reaction Engineering, Abo Akademi, Finland, 2000 and a Ph.D. in Chemical Plants, Polytechnic of Turin, Italy, 1997. After 10 years of academic work, Valentina joined Nynas AB in 2001, where she held several technical positions in the base oils segment before becoming Market Manager for the Lubricant Industry. Valentinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main expertise is refining and base oil production, with particular reference to naphthenic base oils. Valentina is co-assignee of a patent for manufacturing of polyols. The global base oil market is going through a period of great changes and challenges. First, the rationalization of Group I production is no longer a possible scenario, but has become a reality. Secondly, the global capacity of Group II and Group III base oils

Michael has a BS in Chemical Engineering from Lehigh University and an MS in Chemical Engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

4th Asia-Pacific Base Oil Conference

World lubricant production continues a trend toward higher-quality Group II and Group III products, putting pressure on Group I production. Grassroots capacity is now targeted almost exclusively to Group II/II+ and Group III/III+ products. Meanwhile, more Group I units are developing projects to revamp production up to the Group II/III level. The technology paths for high quality lubricants all include a hydroprocessing step of some sort. The lube hydrocracking with catalytic dewaxing technology pairing converts VGO’s (vacuum gas oils) to Group II/III lubricants. Alternatively, a fuels hydrocracker bottoms stream (UCO) may be used to provide feed to a catalytic dewaxing unit. Processing using either feed source can choose to fractionate VGO’s first, and then process (blocked operation) or apply a “broadcut” feed of the entire VGO range available and fractionate final products as the last processing step. Each offers advantages and disadvantages that will be discussed. Both can make excellent quality Group II and Group III base oils, as has been proven in many commercial operations.

industrial lubricants/brands. • All India Head - Technical Services (2001-02) • Quality Control Manager - Aviation • All India Head - Lubricant Consumer Sales (2007-10) The lubricant business in India is moving towards a period of rapid change. Base oil manufacturing is shifting from solvent refining and solvent dewaxing to hydrocracking, severe hydro-refining and wax isomerization. Refiners are shifting to manufacturing higher quality Group II and Group III base stocks. Original equipment manufacturers’ (OEMs) requirements for passenger car motor oils (PCMO) are also shifting towards lower viscosity oils to achieve fuel economy and longer drain intervals. Though Asian markets predominantly use 20W40 and 15W40, these markets are now shifting to 10W40/10W30. Synthetic oils are also gaining market share in Asia-Pacific.

2009. He also appears regularly as a guest expert on Bloomberg, CNBC and CNN. Michael is now writing a book on the future of the Chinese automotive industry, with an aim for publication in 2010. China surpassed the United States in 2009 to become the largest car market in the world. Chinese consumers bought 13.6 million cars, trucks and buses last year, a stunning 46% increase over 2008. Where enormous car markets lead, worries about energy security soon follow. China already imports more than half of the oil it consumes. Ninety-nine percent of vehicles running on Chinese roads today are powered by conventional gasoline and diesel engines. In 2009, China’s central government announced an ambitious plan to lift electric vehicle demand to 500,000 units by 2011. China has an opportunity to avoid American-style addiction to oil. Will China make the leap from a giant market maker to a giant “new energy” innovator?

Group III Base Oils in China Winston Low Hee Teck Feoso Energy/Haixia Petroleum Winston Low Hee Teck is a Singaporean. He was educated in the University of Melbourne, Australia, as a chemical engineer. Winston worked for Exxon from 1970 to 1992 in petroleum refining, base oil production, and lubricant additive manufacturing. He was expatriated to

Hong Kong in 1985 to look after additive sales in Greater China. In 1993, he left Exxon and started a company called Feoso Energy with the support of Feoso Oil Ltd. of Hong Kong. Feoso Oil provided the “Feoso” while Winston provided the “Energy”! This company started trading base oils in 1993. Its relationship with S-Oil went as far back then. S-Oil was called SsangYong Refining Co. at the time. Feoso Energy represented this company well. Following the successful launch of the Ultra-S Group III series of base oils in 2002, it evolved to become the only distributor of S-Oil base oil in China. Today, Feoso Energy operates its own 35,000 cubic meter tank farm in Jingjiang, a two-hour drive either way from Shanghai or Nanjing. Winston spends most of his time wandering around China promoting environmentally friendly and energy saving oils when he is not jogging along the banks of the Yangzi River, although he misses the spicy laksa soup back home in Singapore. This presentation will take a look at China’s current state of economy; the automotive and lubricant industries there. It will also provide some information on the base oil market, and the trend on the use of Group III base oils in China.

Despite the global financial tsunami, lube consumption in China in 2008 remained at about 600 million tons, which is comparable to the whole European consumption. Relatively high crude oil prices, the fluctuating supply of base oil, stricter enforcement of environmental measures and greater awareness of the importance of recycling of important resources have prompted China to develop a sound, feasible and economically viable used oil recycling operations in the country. How much foreign experience could be leveraged and adopted in China? What are the challenges ahead? This presentation examines the local situation and some emerging models within China.

FUEL ECONOMY & EMISSIONS SESSION

Keynote Presentation: Tomorrow’s Fuel Economy and Emissions Challenges: The Role of the Additive Industry Andres Tugendhat Chevron Oronite LLC Andres (Andy) Tugendhat is the Vice-President, Sales of Chevron Oronite Co., LLC. He is based in San Ramon, California, U.S.A. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Andy graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and possesses a Master’s degree in Business Administration from St. Mary’s College. Andy lives with his wife, Karin in Oakland, California. His hobbies include travel and water sports. Andy was born in January 1960. Andy has worked in various business units within Chevron Corp., the last 20 years being in Oronite. At Oronite, he has held various positions of increasing responsibility including Fuel Additives Product Manager, Business Manager for the Americas Region, Vice President for Global Marketing and Business Management, and Oronite Asia Pacific Regional Manager based in Singapore. His previous position was Vice President, Products and Technology. Prior to joining Oronite, Andy worked as a Project Engineer for various upstream and downstream projects within Chevron Corp. Rising energy demand and prices, and the link between energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, have led to an increased

focus on fuel economy and emissions control across all modes of transportation around the world. The global challenges in those areas become even greater over the next decade as countries such as China and India further advance their economies. The additive industry has a long history of developing technologies and products that enhance the natural properties of fuels and lubricants. These enhancements have led to direct improvements in fuel economy and reductions in emissions, as well as enabling new hardware technologies to be introduced which have similar effects. The global nature of the additive industry, as well as the experience in developing today’s technologies, will allow it to continue to be a major contributor in solving tomorrow’s fuel economy and emissions challenges.

Fuels and Lubes Testing with Regard to Future CO2 Emission Requirements Tono Nasch I.S.P GmbH & Co. Tono Nasch studied chemistry at Münster University. He graduated in 1994 and did his Ph.D. in the field of solid state chemistry. After several stages within the oil and additive industry, he joined I.S.P. Institute for Fuels & Lubes Testing in 1997. Since 1999, he has been Managing Director of I.S.P. Germany and France. To guarantee the protection of future mobility, numerous tightened requirements have to be considered including amongst others, resource shortages, legislative CO2 restrictions as well as the pattern of automobile utilization which is steadily

changing. Based on these facts, new challenges also arise in the field of fuels and lubes testing. The fuel saving potential related to crankcase and transmission oils is more and more of significant interest and already reflects today one of the most important test parameter.

Heavy Duty Engine Lubricants—Durability and Fuel Economy Optimisation Keith Howard, Mike Sutton, Graham Marshall Lubrizol Ltd., U.K. and Tao Chunsheng First Auto Works Keith Howard graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1985 and for eight years worked with Leyland DAF trucks in Lancashire. In 2003, he gained a Master’s Degree in Engineering Project Management and in the same year moved to Lubrizol. Keith is a Chartered Engineer, a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and is currently the Chairman of the U.K.’s East Midlands centre of the Automobile Division. This paper covers the significant contribution that well-formulated lubricants make to both durability and fuel economy in heavy-duty diesel engines. The methods used by European OEMs to define and quantify the severity factors involved in this challenge are discussed. Durability is even more critical when the operating severities of the Chinese market are taken into account. Data are presented from a data logging exercise performed

on a highly loaded Chinese vehicle, with comparisons to similar data from a European vehicle. These comparisons demonstrate the differences in severity between China and Europe and the implications they will have on the lubricant, highlighting the need for high-quality lubricants that will protect Chinese vehicles in operation.

The Right Oil for Motorcycle Fuel Economy Mark F. Wilkes and Adam C. Kidson Lubrizol Ltd., U.K. Mark F. Wilkes Job Title: Engine Oils Technology Manager, Lubrizol Ltd., U.K. Education: Ph.D. - Warwick University, U.K. Work Experience: More than 10 years’ experience in lubricants, fuels and industrial fluids, covering both business and technical roles. Within Asia, the four-stroke motorcycle market has significant fuel efficiency improvement potential. Given this, the possible benefits of fuel-efficient lubricants in Asia are significant. Conventional passenger car fuel economy oils are becoming less suitable for four-stroke application.

Lubricant Contribution to Improved Fuel Economy in Heavy-Duty Diesel Engines Wim van Dam, Peter Kleijwegt, Marnix Torreman, Yoshitaka Takeuchi and Gary Parsons Chevron Oronite LLC This paper addresses the impact that diesel engine lubricants can have on improving fuel economy. The impact of various aspects of engine oil formulations on fuel economy will be discussed such as viscosity grade, base oil type, viscosity index modifiers and friction modifiers. The evaluations discussed in this paper are based on fuel economy measurements in a standardized laboratory engine test.

Passenger Car Motor Oil and Fuel Economy: Exploring Beyond 24 SSI Viscosity Index Improvers Kirk A. Nass, David S. George, Pritesh A. Patel and Yu Bai Qiang Chevron Oronite LLC Kirk Nass joined Chevron in 1989 after receiving his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Washington, Seattle. From 1989 through 1993, Kirk worked as a Research Engineer in the New Business Development Unit of Chevron Research and Technology Co. in Richmond, Calif. After working as a Lead Research Engineer in the Reactor Science Program of Chevron Research and Technology Co. from 1994-1996, Kirk transferred to Chevron Oronite Co., Products and Technology in

1997. He joined Chevron Oronite’s Viscosity Index Improvers Technical Team as a Senior Research Engineer in 1999 and was promoted to Staff Engineer in 2005.

He received his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Zhejiang University, China. The majority of passenger car motor oils (PCMO) in Asia use Viscosity Index Improvers (VII) which have a Shear Stability Index (SSI) of 25 or lower. One of the perceived benefits of using the lower SSI VII in PCMO is viscosity retention at long drain intervals. However, stay-in-grade viscosity retention at long drain intervals

can also be achieved using a VII of higher SSI, such as 35 or 50, as demonstrated in the U.S. and Japanese PCMO markets for many years. In this presentation, we will demonstrate the benefits of using higher SSI VII in PCMO that allow better formulation flexibility and achieve improved fuel economy in a cost-effective way.

We have investigated the use of standardized efficiency test procedures to determine the effect of fluid properties on equipment efficiency. Two Japanese Construction and Mechanization Association (JCMAS) methods were adapted to measure the work

and fuel efficiency of a wheel loader and an excavator. Results of our testing reveal the effect of viscosity grade and viscosity index on the overall efficiency of this equipment. With proper selection of fluid, it is possible to increase work output while decreasing work time and fuel consumption.

There is only one way for the OEMs to go—producing cars and trucks that are more fuel efficient with extended durability. As a result, oil producers and

16th Annual Fuels & Lubes 4th Asia-Pacific MarchOil 3-5,Conference 2010 | The Regent March Hotel 1-2, Singapore 2010 | The Regent Hotel Singapore Asia ConferenceBase

additive technology developers are being increasingly asked by OEMs to help them achieve these goals from the lubricant side. It is well established that axle efficiency can contribute a big portion of the vehicle fuel economy. To develop gear oil that can increase significantly the efficiency of the axles, first a rapid and highly reproducible rig test needs to be developed. With dependable tool on hand, we can then proceed to develop a fuel efficient gear oil technology, which has durability in service. We investigate the contributions of base oil viscosity, base oil chemistry and additive chemistry to the fuel economy of gear oils.

Influence of Gear Oil Formulations on the Fuel Economy of Passenger Cars Dirk Wienecke Volkswagen AG Wilfried J. Bartz Technische Akademie Esslingen, Germany Wilfried Bartz is scientific director, Head of Department T + S at the Technische Akademie Esslingen in Germany. He is also the coordinator and head of the International Colloquia on “Tribology” and “Fuels” and considered an expert on Tribology and Lubrication Engineering. He has written for several scientific and technical publications, both national and international, and is an editor of “Tribologie und Schmierungstechnik.” Wilfried also has honorary professorships at the University of Stuttgart, Technical University of Vienna (Austria) and Fachhochschule for Engineering Esslingen.

He is a member of various tribology organizations worldwide, such as Gessellschaft fur Tribologie (GFT), Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (VDI), Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE), Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and Tribology Society in India (TSI). Energy savings by tribological measures means the reduction of friction and wear losses by optimizing design and materials selection, surface engineering as well as lubrication engineering. Minimizing the fuel consumption of cars requires the reduction of energy losses within the complete driving system of the vehicle. Gear losses and gear efficiency depend on transmitted power, speed, lubrication regime, material, surface conditions, geometry and especially on the lubricant itself. In this presentation, the influences of gear oil viscosity, different base oil types and several additives on power losses and by that on fuel economy was calculated. Also, the influence of splash losses within the gear were evaluated.

Friction and Fuel Economy Retention in Passenger Car Motor Oil Formulations Vivek Palekar, Trevor Miller, Yat Fan Suen and Dave Uppal Chevron Oronite LLC Trevor Miller is a formulator in the Automotive Engine Oils group of Chevron Oronite and is the lead formulator for the Sequence VID engine test. He received a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering and an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering

with a concentration in Thermal Science from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Prior to his joining Oronite, Trevor worked for Chevron Global Lubricants as a researcher in their Tribology Laboratory, working primarily on performance testing of additive systems. Fuel economy of internal combustion engines has played an important role for engine designers for decades. The interest in fuel economy is driven by competitive market forces as well as government mandates and regulations. For passenger car motor oil (PCMO) formulations, the Sequence VI engine test has been optimized over time to evaluate Phase 1 fresh oil fuel economy, as well as Phase 2 aged oil fuel economy. Phase 1 fuel economy seems to be driven by a combination of lubricant rheology, such as HTHS viscosity, as well as lubricity additives, such as friction modifiers. The impact of various aspects of engine oil formulations on friction and fuel economy will be discussed.

Cesar joined Terrabon, Inc. as Chief Technology Officer in 2008 and is now actively involved in the commercialization of the MixAlco™ technology. He is a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and Omega Chi Epsilon Chemical Engineering Honor Society. The MixAlco™ process converts any anaerobically biodegradable material (e.g., proteins, cellulose, hemicellulose, fats, pectin) into a wide array of chemicals and fuels, including drop-in biofuels such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Such conversion occurs by anaerobic fermentation of the biomass into mixed carboxylic acids by a mixed culture of naturally occurring microorganisms, followed by the conversion of the mixed acids into the desired chemicals or fuels using conventional chemistry. Terrabon, Inc. is actively commercializing this technology, focusing, at present, in the use of municipal solid waste (MSW) (i.e.,

garbage) as feedstock and gasoline and jet fuel as the products. Projections show that the production cost of the bio-gasoline resulting from this process at less than US$2 per gallon or US$0.55 per liter, from US$10 per ton of MSW. Details on this technology, some results from Terrabon’s demonstration and pilot plant testing and Terrabon’s commercialization strategy will be discussed.

Low Temperature Operability of BX-PME in Light Duty Diesel Truck Prissana Prakanwiwat PTT Research and Technology Institute Prissana Prakanwiwat Job Title: Researcher, Petroleum Products and Alternative Fuels research Education: • B.Sc (Chemistry), • M.Sc. (Applied Analytical and Inorganic Chemistry), Mahidol University, Thailand Work Experience: Petroleum Products and Alternative Fuels Research Department, PTT Research and Technology Institute, PTT Public Co., Ltd. (1998-present) Whilst the industry consensus is that biodiesel blends (Bx) have relatively poor cold flow properties compared with conventional diesel, there are only limited vehicle performance data to support this view. To gain more understanding of the low temperature operability of Bx fuels, a field trial was conducted in modern light duty vehicles with a range of fuels blended with Palm Methyl Ester (PME). This paper describes the methodology of the trial and presents

an analysis of the results obtained. Critical performance features such as startability and driveability are discussed and related to the biodiesel, blending ratio, vehicle design and choice of cold flow additive.

The Impact of Biodiesel on Injector Fouling in Modern Direct Injection Diesel Engines and the Demands on Diesel Fuel Deposit Control Additives in Today’s Market

Modern injectors have tighter tolerances and are designed to operate to a precisely defined injection strategy. Unfortunately, diesel fuel and biodiesel can oxidize under the higher temperatures and pressures experienced in modern direct injection fuel systems and this can lead to the formation of deposits on the injector tip and inside the narrow injector channels. When this happens, the injectors do not operate efficiently and a reduction in engine power is observed. It is therefore imperative that injector deposits are prevented from forming and when they do form, they can be removed. This paper shows that optimized diesel fuel detergents can meet the wider range of demands that exist in today’s market.

Fuel additives have a long history of protecting engines against deposits and their use continues to grow. However, additives that have been successful in addressing deposits in the more conventional port fuel injected (PFI) engines may not protect DIG engines. As the numbers of DIG engine vehicles increases rapidly, it is important that both engine types be considered when developing new fuel additive packages.

Intake System Deposit Field Survey and Deposit Control Additive Performance Evaluation in China

Advanced engine technology such as Direct Injection Spark Ignition (DISI) is representative of the most advanced engines available in the China market right now. In addition to improvements in engine technology, fuel quality improvements have been implemented gradually in China. Treating all of the gasoline in China with deposit control additives could significantly reduce air pollution. However, there is currently limited information available for Chinese gasoline quality and deposit formation tendency in which to base additive type and treat rate decisions on.

Are Additives Necessary for Aluminum Machining? Klaus Wuscher Rhein Chemie, a Lanxess subsidiary Klaus Wuscher studied Chemistry in Germany and graduated at Dusseldorf University. He went to a mid-sized German lubricant manufacturer as developer and member of technical service. He joined RheinChemie in 1997 and is currently a Technical Service Manager. He is active in Technical Services/Technical Sales for most parts of the Asia-Pacific region. Recent years have seen a growing trend towards aluminum machining. Increasingly, iron and steel, e.g. in engine and vehicle construction, are being replaced by aluminum alloys to achieve weight reduction. The machining is preferably done with water-miscible lubricants, which contain many different additives. Unfortunately, the question of how the additive reacts between the friction partners (tool/workpiece) is not clarified. Therefore, various additives have been evaluated for their behaviour on different aluminum alloys. Furthermore, different kinds of corrosion inhibitors were tested for their behaviour and effect on different aluminum alloys. On the basis of these data, the surface chemistry of aluminum, as well as the effectiveness of additives during aluminum machining, will be discussed.

It is predicted that two-step oil supply shortage problems will occur in the future. First, world crude oil production will fall short due to increasing demand, driven by developing countries in around 2014. Second, world crude oil production will start to drop sharply at around 2020 and will decrease to about half of current production levels in 2030. As a result, each sector in the world should start mitigation programs for the two kinds of oil supply shortage problems. Programs with two kinds of effects on oil consumption reduction are expected to be introduced: programs with an immediate effect by 2014 and programs with a drastic effect by 2030. In this paper, the possibility of oil consumption reduction by the transportation sector in Japan is studied. The study result indicates that only technical measures such as engine/vehicle modifications and electric drive technology cannot solve oil supply problems. Non-technical measures such as “saving” or “frugal life style” using current technology and infrastructure should be combined with the technical measures in order to achieve a low energy society.

In this study, the modes of deterioration experienced by three-way catalysts (TWCs) on State II-certified gasoline vehicles in real-world use in China were investigated through a combination of vehicle emissions testing and detailed post-mortem catalytic converter analysis. Whole vehicle emissions control system performance for 108 vehicles was measured using Type I testing procedures to determine whether or not vehicles met applicable emissions standards. A subset of catalysts from 18 vehicles in this pool was further examined using typical catalyst characterization methods, including x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray fluorescence (XRF) and surface area measurement by nitrogen adsorption (BET), to determine the potential causative factors behind catalyst underperformance.

In India, the diesel segment is growing fast as the preferred option for better fuel economy and emission. The diesel segment is spread across three segments viz. personal vehicles, light commercial vehicles and heavy commercial vehicles. Usage pattern for all three segments are totally different. Although fuel economy demands are common for all, the emission norms and driving cycles are different per application. Accordingly, vehicle design and power train selection for all three has different challenges. Demand from the light commercial segment is more challenging in terms of requirements as per the usage pattern. The present paper gives an overview about the vehicle design and power train selection and optimization for the diesel-powered light commercial vehicle for best fuel economy and low emissions.

Getting companies and consumers to become more energy-efficient could potentially have a major impact on the amount of energy currently consumed. Approximately more than half the energy that is generated is wasted every day. The International Energy Agency estimates that by 2030, the equivalent of 1.3 billion barrels of oil could be saved through

cost-effective energy efficiency measures. Application innovations leading to new and tougher requirements from OEMs and the likelihood that governments will continue to seek tighter regulation of emissions means that suppliers will need to build close relationships with equipment manufacturers to help them develop more energy-efficient engines. This will require oil companies to continue investing in research and development to formulate products that further improve energy efficiency for customers. Suppliers that collaborate with OEMs in both the design and development of new and improved technology will increase the opportunities for commercialization of differentiated products, as well as improve their competitive advantage.

different positions in research, application technology and technical service. He was Head of the Innovation Center Europe for Degussa RohMax Additives and more recently Global Product Development Manager. He now holds the position of Global Business Director Crankcase and Driveline.His principal research interests are in polymer synthesis, structure property relations, viscometrics and the tribology of lubricants. He authored many scientific papers and presentations and holds 52 international patents. He is a member of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE). Wind turbine technology has advanced quickly, with turbines growing dramatically in power output. This leads to increasing requirements for gear and bearing lubrication, as specific solutions are needed for higher loads and heavier duty cycles. The rapid growth of offshore wind energy parks with their restricted accessibility will drive demand for extended service intervals. This presentation will outline the different wind turbine gear box specifications and the most important technical requirements. A new generation of synthetic base fluids based on Polyalkylmethacrylates (PAMAs) will be introduced. Their impact on the viscometrics and other important properties of wind turbine lubricants will be demonstrated in formulation examples and in comparison to PAO 40 and 100.

Honda Motorcycle Engine Oil Conception and Promotion: CO2 Reduction for Environmental Protection Masatoshi Akagi Honda Motorcycle R&D Center

Masatoshi Akagi is Chief Engineer, Honda R&D Co., Ltd., Motorcycle R&D Center, Technology Research Division. He is responsible for the approval of Honda Genuine Engine Oils for Honda Motorcycles. He is a member of the JSAE Motorcycle Committee and the JAMA Oil Committee. He is a graduate of Osaka Sangyo University. Honda R&D has been promoting good performance engine oil for motorcycles since 2002 at the SAE Asia Steering Committee. The requirement of motorcycles is severe on lubricity, effect on clutch performance and durability of transmission gears, because of the structure of motorcycle engines. For this promotion, Honda R&D have held motorcycle engine oil meetings since 2003 in Korea, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and India. Every meeting was a great success, but the market situation has not improved rapidly. Since 2005, low viscosity requirement of 10W-30 was added for CO2 reduction at the SAE Asia Steering Committee. This requirement was continued until 2007, but the market share of 10W-30 has not expanded. In the last two years, Honda genuine engine oil with a viscosity grade of 10W-30 was expanded to Asian countries, including Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Philippines. Honda R&D considers the share of 10W-30 engine oils as too small to recommend in the owner’s manual. For this reason, Honda R&D created the “Honda Motorcycle Engine Oil Conception” to expand 10W-30 engine oils’ market share.

Fluid Solutions to Prevent Varnish Formation in Industrial Applications

During his time at Lubrizol, Matt has been awarded 15 patents in the areas of dispersants for use in engine oils, polymethacrylates for use in automatic transmission fluids, viscosity modifiers, and lubricating greases. He was awarded the NLGI Author Award in 2002, the NLGI Chevron Global Lubricants Award in 2005, and the Chemetall Foote Clarence E. Earle Memorial Award in 2008. The competitive nature of the industrial lubricants market has created a trend of increasing power output and higher operating temperatures. This can result in increased oil temperatures, higher oxidation rates and eventually, the onset of varnish. Varnish has many implications including reduced filtration efficiency, valve sticking, and heat transfer issues ultimately causing unplanned downtime. Replacing or cleaning servo valves and other internal components coated with varnish can add significant costs to industrial hydraulic, gear and turbine applications. This paper will discuss studies that have been developed to create varnish in industrial test rigs. Studies will be presented that

compare traditional industrial fluids with novel technologies, designed to prevent varnish formation in industrial applications while still maintaining other key performance properties.

The number one objective for the automotive industry is the quest for improved fuel economy without the loss of hardware durability during the warranty period. For transmissions, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have focused on efficiency gains from either developing new types of transmissions such as the dual clutch transmission (DCT) and the continuous variable transmission (CVT) or enhancing the number of speeds in the automatic transmission (AT) from 4-speeds up to 6-speeds and as high as 8-speeds. OEMs have also focused on specific factors, such as reducing transmission size and weight, adjusting the number of gear meshes, improving the gear surface finish techniques, and using more thermally stable friction material compositions. All these factors, when combined, will greatly impact both the efficiency and the durability of the transmission. In this paper, we will highlight what impact these hardware advancements have on the design and composition of lubricants and present data to show how these “engineered lubricants” can play a huge part in the overall transmission performance of the vehicle. We will particularly focus on new fluid development as it relates to the latest DCT and CVT require-

ments, as well as highlight the direction of where automatic transmission fluids (ATFs) may be headed in the next decade to meet future transmission designs.

Inspection of Two High-Mileage Continuously Variable Transmissions Raymond F. Watts, Masahiro Ishikawa and Scott Campbell Infineum USA Raymond F. Watts Job Title: Manager of Power Transmission Fluid Development, Infineum USA, Linden, New Jersey Education: Ph.D. Organic Chemistry from Clarkson College of Technology Work Experience: • EXXON Chemical, Paramins Division (15 years) • Formulation development gear oils and tractor products (3 years) • Manager of Formulation Development for Automatic Transmission Fluids (12 years) • Uniroyal Inc., Corporate R&D (6 years) • Product and Process development of high viscosity polyalphaolefins • Formulation and testing of fully synthetic automotive and industrial gear oils Over the last 10 years, as vehicle manufacturers have continued the pursuit of more fuel efficient powertrains, the continuously variable transmission (CVT) has gained increasing market share. In the development of new transmissions, considerable effort is put on the codevelopment of a suitable transmission fluid. We became interested in the durability of the push belt CVT in hightorque applications. How were these transmissions and fluids performing after

accumulating high mileage? To answer that question, two CVT transmissions were removed from Nissan Murano vehicles which had accumulated more than 150,000 km (100,000 mi) of normal service driving in the Southwestern United States. The transmissions were dismantled, rated and the fluid analyzed. This paper presents the detailed results of the disassembly and rating of the transmissions and the analysis of the fluid.

Defining Green for Driveline Lubricants as Enablers for Meeting Improved Extended Drain Commercial and Automotive Requirements Jianhua Mao Cognis Jianhua Mao Job Title: Technical Director of Cognis Functional products Education: Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry Work Experience: Joined Cognis [previously Henkel] in the United States (1991) Key measures potentially defining “green” for lubricants will be presented. These include reduction of emissions, improved fuel consumption and minimizing the impact on the environmental discharge of used lubricants and gearbox components. Performance considerations in formulating driveline lubricants, in particular manual transmission and gear lubricants, will be discussed for the areas of enhanced thermal and oxidative stability, lower volatility and sump temperatures during running operations, mitigating torque losses against temperature rise for severe towing conditions, biodegradability and friction

reduction for improved wear and pitting durability for gears and bearings.
