Welcome to Singapore and F+L Week! F+L Week is the convergence of two of Asia’s premier industry events: the Annual Fuels & Lubes Asia Conference and the Asia-Pacific Base Oil Conference. F+L Week gives participants unparalleled opportunities to network with their industry colleagues and meet with their suppliers in Singapore. In the next few days, you will also get the unique opportunity of hearing from some of the world’s industry experts. This year’s theme is appropriately entitled “Technology & Innovation: Creating More with Less.” Environmental regulations will continue to be the key driver for our industry and our industry is responding appropriately by providing innovations that will lower emissions, extend oil drain intervals and improve fuel economy. In your registration packet, you will find a copy of the latest edition of the Asia-Pacific Petroleum Buyers’ Guide and the Asian Lube Map published by F+L Asia, which are some of the value-added benefits from attending F+L Week. My sincerest thanks go to our corporate sponsors for continuing to support F+L Week. F+L Week is the biggest gathering for our industry in Asia-Pacific and continues to draw people from all over the world. It will continue to grow, as Asia is now the largest lube market in the world and home to some of the world’s largest base oil refineries. I hope to have the chance of greeting all of you personally in the next few days! BELONG, ENGAGE, LEARN, BENEFIT.

The Global and Asian Economic Outlook: A World of Two Speeds Leif Lybecker Eskesen Chief Economist for India & ASEAN HSBC Leif Eskesen joined HSBC in October 2010 as Chief Economist for India and ASEAN and is based in Singapore. Before joining HSBC, he worked for close to 10 years at the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) headquarters in Washington, DC, where he was a Senior Economist and a Country Mission Chief. During his time at the IMF, Leif covered a number of Asian and European countries, including South Korea, Philippines, Singapore, Austria, Denmark and Croatia, and was engaged in regional work across Asian countries. In addition to macroeconomic and financial sector analysis, his responsibilities included assessing macroeconomic and structural policies and discussing policy priorities with country authorities. Prior to joining the IMF, Leif worked for Danmarks Nationalbank, Denmark’s central bank, where he was Head of Section and worked in the department responsible for the strategic management of the foreign exchange reserves. Before this, Leif worked for one of Denmark’s large commercial banks and as a Research Scholar at his university. Leif has published a number of papers across a wide range of topics, including fiscal policy and labour market issues. He holds a Master’s degree in economics from the University of Aarhus, Denmark.

The global economy looks more promising than it did just a few months ago, with the risk of a double-dip recession fading. Data out of the United States has been more encouraging and the underlying growth momentum for emerging Asia, as well as other emerging economies, remains solid. However, we are still faced with the prospects of a two-speed world, with advanced economies expected to only recover at a moderate pace over the next few years because of the large debt overhang while emerging economies will continue to lead the global recovery. At the same time, there are clouds on the horizon for the emerging world. Emerging Asia and other emerging economies have seen rising inflation pressures brought on by both supply and demand factors. This calls for proactive macroeconomic policy tightening in Emerging Asia to avoid an excessive build-up in inflation.

including chairing the API Base Oil Interchange Task Force. The idea around “slate” emerged in the early 1990’s as different API Group base stocks became mainstream for use in lubricant formulations. “Slate” is a very powerful definition that groups a manufacturer’s base stocks together for use in engine oils. Stocks within a “slate” permit broad flexibility in substitution. Industry has realized the value inherent in “slate” for Base Oil Interchange and Viscosity Grade Read Across that results in faster improvements in categories and lower costs for lubricant qualification. However, base stock manufacturing is continuing to become more complex and geographically diverse and the industry approach needs to change commensurate with the modern landscape. Industry needs to continue a disciplined and technology based approach in order to preserve the value while responding to changing categories. The API (American Petroleum Institute) and ATIEL (Association Technique de L’Industrie Européenne des Lubrifiants) appropriately continue to refine and improve base oil guidelines which are critical for sound delivery of the value inherent in “slate”.

Changes in Passenger Car and Diesel Engine Oil in the Asia-Pacific Retail Markets Ted Selby Research & Development Director Savant Group Ted Selby has studied the physical and chemical responses of lubricants since joining General Motors Research in 1952, Dow Chemical Co. in 1964, and Savant, Inc. in 1971. He is

a member or Fellow of several technical societies including the American Chemical Society, the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers, the Society of Automotive Engineers, and ASTM International. In the course of his career he has given quite a few papers and generated a number of instrumental patents. In 1984, a decade before the American Petroleum Institute’s After Market Auditing Program was launched, the Institute of Materials Inc. (IOM) started collecting and testing off-the-shelf engine oils. The data gathered from these tests was published in an engine oil database available yearly on a subscription basis. The IOM engine oil database began with 100 engine oils collected from the North American retail market and evaluated with 12 laboratory tests. In subsequent years, the North American database was increased to sample 250 oils per year, and its reach extended beyond the continent. In 1992, IOM began its first sampling in Asia with a collection of 100 engine oils from retail markets in Japan. By 1998, IOM was collecting 300 samples throughout Asia, and Australia was added to the Asia-Pacific collection in 2001. Today IOM collects 650 engine oil samples each year from markets in Asia-Pacific, Western Europe and North America. The Asia-Pacific collection is the largest with 300 samples collected from 11 countries encompassing Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. The Asia-Pacific collection is by far the most diverse in the socio-economic and cultural influences of the markets and in the quality level of oil samples collected. With 26 years of tracking and reporting on engine oil quality in the retail market and 18 years of data on Asia-Pacific samples, the

IOM data can be tapped to reveal trends and unexpected changes in formulation and marketing. For the purposes of this paper, IOM will discuss and graphically illustrate some of the findings based on the AsiaPacific portion of the database. Without unbiased, consistent measurement of many engine oils, it is difficult to determine whether or not there has been broad improvement in oil quality over time. The fact that the IOM engine oil database has long-term continuity in providing such information is part of its value. The paper will discuss findings of improvement in oil quality as well as areas of potential concern. The paper will also discuss findings in countries where historically there has been a greater demand for modern automobiles in comparison to other countries like China and India which are more recently experiencing a marked surge in demand for new cars. The analysis will include shifts in the retail markets with a look at service categories, grades of oil, increase of synthetic base stocks and pricing. This will be the first indepth look at changes in engine oil sold in retail markets in Asia-Pacific over a decade, and will begin our first annual report of findings from the IOM worldwide database.

Recent Developments in the API Engine Oil Licensing Program Kevin Ferrick Manager API Global Industry Services Kevin Ferrick currently manages API’s Engine Oil Licensing and Certification System, a voluntary licensing program designed to define, certify and monitor engine oil

These demands, together with the trends for longer drain intervals, higher energy efficiency, lower oil volume and tighter emission controls, will continue to challenge lubricant technology.

5th Asia-Pacific Base Oil Conference | March 6-8, 2011

This paper will introduce a Metallocene PAO basestock, which uses metallocene catalyst technology to deliver a more uniform molecular structure, offers improved performance advantages over conventional PAO enabling the development of finished lubricants with improved shear stability, viscosity index (VI), and low temperature performance. Together, these properties help to address the challenges faced by lubricant formulators, particularly in high and low temperatures and difficult operating conditions.

PAO Premium - Advances in Synthetic Base Stocks for Tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Challenges E. Brian Fox Scientist Chemtura Corp. E. Brian Fox received a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Fairfield University, Fairfield, Conn., U.S.A., in May 1981. He has 30 years of lubricant experience working in the naphthenic base oil, engine oil additive package and polymer application development areas. He is currently employed by Chemtura Corp. as a Scientist in the Petroleum Additives Technology Group. His main responsibilities are in application and product development and technical support for Chemturaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high viscosity PAO product line. Automotive and industrial equipment manufacturers are being asked to deliver products with higher performance and improved energy efficiency to help the world address the critical issues it is facing

and to reduce costs. To support these efforts, improved lubricants are required as operating temperatures and speeds increase, sumps get smaller and fluids must last longer. Synthetic base stocks will be a key to this effort as the opportunity to create new products with improved properties are significant. This paper will discuss one advance in high viscosity PAO technology that offers the lubricant formulator improved performance and formulation flexibility to help address some of the issues the industry faces today. This new technology will be compared to conventional high viscosity PAO and the improvements a minor change in molecular structure offers will be explored. These improvements will provide the lubricant formulator with another option for developing lubricants that meet the demands of tomorrow.

Oil-Soluble Polyalkylene Glycol Fang Li R&D Associate Director, Asia Pacific The Dow Chemical Co. Fang Li received his M.Sc degree in Chemistry from Shandong University in Jinan, China, and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In addition, Li completed two post-doctoral fellowships at Brooklyn College of City University of New York and Clarkson University at Potsdam, New York.

in 2008, Li had worked eight years in industry as research scientist at Cranbury, N.J., for Rhodia, Inc., and associate research follow at Pleasanton, Calif., for Clorox Inc. Li has published more than 20 scientific papers and holds six patents. Oil-soluble polyalkylene glycols (OSP) offer the formulators and researchers another option for using PAGs as a “tool” for solving some of our industry problems. Used as a primary base oil, a co-base oil or as an additive in formulations, OSPs can upgrade hydrocarbon oils to boost viscosity index and improve deposit control. OSPs can provide improved friction control when used as an additive. They may provide an alternative to synthetic esters as friction modifiers. The flexibility of PAG chemistry provides a huge amount of space for innovation and providing solutions to specifications and standards of the future.

Rob has been with Afton and its predecessor, Ethyl Corp., for 30 years in a variety of research, marketing and business roles. His current responsibilities include development and testing of additives for hydraulic fluids. Energy efficiency has been a critical consideration for the transportation sector

5th Asia-Pacific Base Oil Conference | March 6-8, 2011

for several decades. Only more recently has the focus of energy efficiency been extended to industrial applications. Hydraulic systems, a key portion of the industrial sector, are widely used for transmitting power. Therefore, opportunities exist for energy savings by increasing hydraulic pump efficiency. The energy efficiency of hydraulic pumps is dependent on the type of pump, operating conditions, and the hydraulic fluid used. This study describes evaluations of the energy efficiency of different hydraulic fluids, as well as testing issues that need to be considered. Hydraulic fluids are categorized under a variety of regulatory bodies, pump manufacturers, and end users including ASTM, ISO, DIN and JCMA. While each group uses different terminology, the major different categories are based on types of base oils, presence of viscosity index (VI) improvers and types of additive chemistries. Each of these can play a role in the relative energy efficiency of a hydraulic fluid. The challenge in segregating these different effects is to carry out testing under very tightly controlled conditions. Initial testing has been carried out in a vane pump operating in a test stand in a tightly controlled environment under a range of speeds, temperatures and pressures. Some of the challenges in carrying out this testing will be described. The first fluids selected for testing were identical (same additive packages and types of base oils) except for their base oil viscosities. Volumetric, mechanical and total efficiencies were measured for each of the fluids under varying operating conditions.

Overall, the results demonstrate the expected improvement in volumetric efficiency of a vane pump resulting from use of a higher viscosity grade fluid. Mechanical efficiency tends to decrease with higher viscosity grade fluids, but to a much lesser extent than the increase in volumetric efficiency. Thus, the total efficiency for a vane pump increases with higher viscosity fluids under most of our testing conditions. However, the efficiency differences between fluids vary dramatically with operating conditions. In fact, the relative efficiency of the two higher viscosity oils changes depending on operating conditions. The variables used in this study include pump speed, load and fluid temperature. Of these variables, pump speed appears to have the most impact on efficiency between different viscosity fluids. The benefits of higher viscosity fluids on volumetric efficiency are more pronounced at lower pump speeds. Higher pump loads produce higher mechanical and lower volumetric efficiencies. However, the volumetric efficiency benefits of higher viscosity fluids are more pronounced at higher pressures. Finally, higher fluid temperature primarily translates into lower volumetric efficiencies in this testing. The conclusion from this preliminary work is that operating conditions must be considered when comparing the energy efficiency benefits resulting from different hydraulic fluids. Work is planned to compare both additional fluid and pump types.

As basestocks in the Asia Pacific market evolve, it is important to understand the impact of various basestocks on the oxidation and deposit control in modern industrial lubricants. This presentation will review these recent developments in basestocks and report on the evaluation of industrial lubricants made with different

5th Asia-Pacific Base Oil Conference | March 6-8, 2011

basestocks for improvement in oxidative stability, as well as deposit and sludge control performance. Several representative basestocks and their blends were selected to study the response of various antioxidants and antioxidant combinations in a model R&O lubricating oil formulation. Rotating Pressure Vessel Oxidation Test (RPVOT) and Cincinnati Machine Thermal Stability Test Method A (CM-A) were used to determine the effects of basestock type on antioxidant system performance and overall ranking. The experimental data will be presented to demonstrate that certain combinations of hindered phenolic and aminic antioxidants can effectively provide acceptable RPVOT performance, while at the same time significantly minimizing deposits and sludge. In addition, the data from the basestock mixture study will be analyzed to show how an industrial lubricant formulator could meet specific performance targets by selecting appropriate lubricant basestocks and antioxidants. Recommendations will also be provided based on optimized antioxidant and basestock systems.

lube base oil (Group I) processing and product development. Apisit received his M.S. in Chemical Engineering from Chulalongkorn University. On January 1, 2010, the European Community started to ban the use of highly aromatic oils (HA oils) in automotive tyres. Oils used for the production of tyres or parts of tyres must contain listed PAHs less than 10 mg/kg or has polycyclic aromatic (PCA) extract less than 3%. Treated Distillate Aromatic Extract (TDAE), Mild Extract Solvate (MES) and Naphthenic oil, are placed on the markets as low PCA or clean rubber processing oil. However, the supply of these clean rubber processing oils cannot meet total global demand. Thai Lube Base Public Company Limited (TLB), Thailand’s first lube base oil manufacturer, also supplies a full range of rubber processing oils. To serve the high demand for clean rubber processing oil, TLB was developed. “Treated Residual Aromatic Extract” (TRAE) can pass the BLIC (European Association of the Rubber Industry) criteria for both PAHs and PCA content. TRAE was developed to produce tyre and synthetic rubber. This work will introduce TRAE products and compare their quality with other rubber processing oils (DAE, TDAE and MES).

Technology and Innovation— Creating More with Less: Partnership, Innovation and Application Goh Swee Chen Vice President Bulk Fuels & Lubricants, Asia Shell Swee Chen is responsible for leading Shell’s Bulk Fuels and Lubricants growth strategy across the Asia region. She is a member of the Lubricants global executive leadership team. Swee Chen was appointed Vice President, Bulk Fuels & Lubricants for Asia, in January 2011. From 2008 until her current appointment, she was Vice President of Sunrise Project, where she led the global project to embed the benefits from major business standardization and simplification improvements implemented by the lubricants organization. Swee Chen joined Shell in 2003 as Chief Information Officer for Shell Oil Products East. Prior to Shell, she worked for a number of Fortune Top 40 corporations, including four years with IBM Australia in Systems Engineering and IT Consultancy and 14 years with Procter & Gamble in various assignments in IT and Real Estate. Swee Chen began her career with Standard Chartered Bank in IT and has a degree in Information Science from Victoria University, New Zealand. She also holds an MBA from the University of Chicago. Swee Chen lives in Singapore and is married with three children. She enjoys reading and gardening during her spare time. The world’s population is likely to reach nine billion by 2050 and, just as

significantly, many of those people will see a dramatic increase in their wealth and their aspirations. That means they will be able to afford a whole range of energy consuming goods that were beyond the reach of previous generations. As a result, we could see a doubling of global energy demand in the first half of this century. That presents a huge challenge to energy providers and will require us both to develop new low-carbon energy sources and to make more efficient use of conventional supplies. While a great deal of work is underway to build a low-carbon energy system, this will not happen quickly. For all new forms of energy, it takes about 30 years to achieve a one percent market share and it is uncertain which technologies will prove successful over the long term. Yet this cannot be an excuse for delay. It is vital to invest in a range of technologies to meet our energy needs and to do so now. That is why Shell and other companies are focusing on long-term investment in cleaner natural gas products and biofuels. Each of these can meet different energy needs and will help to ensure we have a diverse range of options in the decades ahead. However, technology development hurdles and the gradual pace of new development mean that two-thirds of vehicles in 2050 are still likely to use current engine technologies and conventional fuels. We need to find ways of improving the fuel economy and cleanliness of those fuels and engines. Significant progress has already been made in developing more efficient fuels. Shell now offers a number of different options that deliver real improvements in fuel economy in everyday road conditions. Those gains can be enhanced further when advanced lubricants are used in combination with those fuels. Lubricants make a very specific contribution to vehicle

efficiency because they are in contact with almost all engine parts, and lowering lubricant viscosity is a means of improving fuel economy. The challenge is to determine the lowest viscosity lubricant which provides acceptable durability and engine protection. The key to overcoming this challenge will be collaboration. Much more can be achieved by OEMs and lubricant providers working together, cooperating with each other in engineering and developing the best ways to optimize the advantages of innovation in both engine design and lubricant specification.

Previously, Jim served as the Technical Director for Petrochemical Catalysts and the Director of Technology for Universal Pharma Technologies, a former UOP joint venture focused on technology and services in pharmaceutical chemistry. Prior to the current role, Jim provided strategic direction and management for research and development programs critical to the commercialization of new refining, petrochemical and renewable energy technologies.

Driving these improvements to the next level will require all those involved to challenge their preconceptions about the principles of innovation in both the development of engines and lubricants and, in particular, the role of industry specifications. Shell is fostering this debate in our many long-term relationships with OEMs and will be looking to strengthen these further as we work to meet the energy challenges of the future.

The Industry in Motion— Trends in the Industrial Lubricants Philipp Junge Executive Vice President Lubricant Oil Additives Division Rhein Chemie Rheinau GmbH Philipp Junge is Executive Vice President, Lubricant Oil Additives Division at Rhein Chemie Rheinau GmbH. Philipp joined LANXESS in Leverkusen, Germany, in March 2008 where his first assignment was Global Head of Strategic Development for Rubber and Rubber Additives. Prior to joining LANXESS, he worked for four years as a project manager for

a leading management consulting firm, where he mainly advised clients in the oil, petrochemical, specialty chemical and private equity industries. Philipp holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics and a Master of Science degree in International Relations. 2010 saw a significant recovery in the lubricant markets—first estimates show that 2010 might be close to 2008 record levels. Lubricant consumption in Asia, however, was not as badly affected by the global recession due to the continued growth in the small cars segment and accompanying metalworking industries. Following the example of many other industries, the global growth in lubricant demand is primarily driven by Asia, albeit South America and the Middle East will also contribute on a small basis. The growth in the Asian automotive production will continue to shift production of metalworking fluids to Asia. Growing industrial lubricants markets in Asia are primarily driven by the construction boom as well as the trend to cleaner energy. The major European and North American markets on the other hand will continue to decline in volume terms. A good indicator for this is also the development in the base oil industry: there is a general shift from Group I base oils to higher grade Group II/III base oils. And practically all major investments in Group II/III capacities will be made outside North America or Europe. In particular, the South Koreans are actively investing in Group III base oils, which are expected to double in volume terms over the next 10 years from approximately 35,000 barrels per day today. Whereas automotive applications continue to be by far the biggest of all lubricant segments, the most significant industrial lubricant categories are process oils and

hydraulic fluids, globally accounting for approximately 5 million and 4.5 million tons per year, respectively. For some of the smaller, yet more specialized segments, such as turbine oils and gear oils, the increased use of Group II/III base stocks will go hand-in-hand with an increased demand for higher quality additives. Another trend in the Asian market we are witnessing is the increasing demand for ash-free packages, mimicking a development in the European/American markets. One major trend that we expect to become more relevant in the Asian markets as the industry keeps globalizing is the substitution of chlorinated paraffins in metalworking fluids. In the long-run, we expect to see EP additives shift from chlorinated paraffins to alternatives, such as sulfur/ ester combinations and overbased calcium sulfonates. We are currently contributing to our first activities in this field in Asia. A welcome challenge to a globally active player like Rhein Chemie is accompanying our increasingly global customers in their international ventures. This will be even more important as the consolidation in the industry accelerates. We, at Rhein Chemie, have been a driving force in the world of industrial lubricants and metalworking industries for more than 50 years now. And we still enjoy helping our customers progress and growâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not only globally, but also especially across Asia.

Challenges for Sustainable Growth: Indian OEMsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Perspective K.K. Gandhi Executive Director (Technical) Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM)

K.K. Gandhi has been Executive Director (Technical) of the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), based in New Delhi since November 1999. SIAM represents all two- and three-wheelers, automobiles, medium and heavy commercial vehicle and auto engine manufacturers in India. SIAM membership includes all Indian, as well as international, manufacturers with a production base in the country. His responsibilities include liaising with government, testing agencies and membercompanies on all technical issues related to emission and safety, alternative fuel vehicle standards and regulations. He represents the Indian auto industry in national and international forums. He prepares policy documents for the industry on various technical issues, including road mapping for future emissions and safety regulations, in-use vehicle emission management, integrated approach to pollution control, etc. Prior to SIAM, K.K. worked for the Indian Institute of Petroleum, in Dehradun, from September 1969 to October 1999. The Indian automotive industry consumes almost 100% of petrol and 60% of diesel fuel, whereas two-wheelers consume almost two-thirds of the petrol and constitute about 76% of total vehicle population. Thus, energy security and air quality are the biggest challenges before the industry, which is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world as more than 70% of the oil consumed in India is imported. It is expected to reach 90% by the next decade. The principal enablers for addressing the challenges are vehicle technology, fuel quality and traffic management. India has already implemented Euro IV equivalent emission norms in 11 metro cities and

17th Annual Fuels & Lubes Asia Conference | March 9-11, 2011

Euro III equivalent norms in the rest of the country in 2010. This has resulted in 96% reduction in emissions from diesel passenger cars from the pre-control era, 86% in commercial vehicles and 92% in two- and three-wheelers. India needs to consolidate the reduction in emissions from vehicles and also work towards addressing global warming. The Indian auto industry, although, producing some of the most fuel efficient vehicles, is working with the Government for fuel efficiency regulations, although the Indian transport sector contributes only 4% of the total CO2 emissions worldwide. The industry has voluntarily adapted fuel economy labels on passenger vehicles and two-wheelers to enable the consumer to make an informed choice. The industry has concerns regarding fuel quality at retail outlets, fuel adulteration and no clear road map on the availability of alternate fuels and energy sources. This is important to enable the industry to develop the necessary technology to meet future fuel efficiency targets. Delhi has one of the largest CNG commercial vehicle fleet in the world and the CNG network is planned to cover more than 200 cities in the next 10 years. The industry is currently working on pilot studies with hydrogen CNG blends for increasing fuel efficiency and reducing oxides of nitrogen emissions. The presentation covers the various options for reducing energy dependence and moving towards sustainable growth with responsibility.

Ltd. • Manager of engine oil, driveline oil, coolant and chassis fluid development in the Materials Engineering Department, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. • Experience in lubricant development at Nissan for 13 years • Chairperson of oil committee at JAMA (Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association) • Member of JAST, JSME, JSAE and SAE • Awards: • Development of Sequence IVA engine test awarded by JSME (Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers) • Development of 5W-30 GF-4 fuel economy engine oil for DLC valve lifter awarded by JAST (Japanese Society of Tribology) There is a strong push for CO2 reduction worldwide. Fuel consumption labeling has started in some Asian countries. Recent engine designs are changing to improve fuel economy performance for CO2 reduction. As a result, requirements for engine oils are changing. ILSAC GF-5 was introduced in October 2010. There are three primary areas of desired improvement for GF-5 as compared to GF-4. These are fuel economy performance, protection of emission control systems and overall engine oil robustness. Japanese OEMs will recommend ILSAC GF-5 engine oils in their user manuals. Furthermore, use of appropriate low viscosity grades to meet OEM recommendation is important in terms of fuel economy and engine performance. Japanese OEMs are continuously making an effort to improve lubricant quality in the marketplace and to improve the availability of ILSAC viscosity grades.

Additionally, discussion about higher fuel economy targets and other requirements will be started for the next specification.

Challenges of Future Mobility Loke Ean Bee Fuels Group Manager, East Shell Global Solutions Loke Ean Bee is currently the Shell Fuels Group Manager, East. He is responsible for leading the Fuels Technology R&D and technical services section for Asia Pacific and the Middle East. Loke joined Shell Malaysia in 1988 after graduation. Over the last 23 years, he has held various technology and leadership positions in Shell Technology Centres and Marketing & Sales organizations in Malaysia, Singapore and England. He was the Global Technology Manager for Premium Gasoline from 2007 till 2010, who managed the R&D program for Shell V-Power gasoline worldwide. Loke is a Chartered Chemical Engineer and has an MBA degree from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland. During the earlier part of his career, he was active in the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia and was elected as Chairman of the Chemical Engineering Technical Division. To understand the challenges and opportunities of fueling future mobility, one has to put them in the context of the global energy challenge. At Shell, we see the energy challenge as a set of three medium- to long-term trends: • First, the world’s need for energy is growing, fast. The reason is that emerging economies such as China and India are entering an energy-intensive phase in their development.

• Second, as energy demand accelerates, keeping up will take a concerted effort. Even assuming major improvements in using energy more efficiently, the world will need to develop all energy types, from traditional fossil fuels and nuclear, to renewables like biofuels and wind. • And, third, environmental stresses are growing, due to rising global CO2 emissions. The world must manage its greenhouse gas emissions as a matter of urgency when it is likely that hydrocarbons will continue to meet the majority of global energy demand for many years to come in the face of significant technical and financial constraints to deploying new energy sources on a mass scale. Today, transportation accounts for about a quarter of global energy-related CO2 emissions; road transportation by cars and trucks is responsible for 17%. What are the implications for fueling mobility, which is growing rapidly? The size of the challenge in transportation gets very obvious considering the further expected growth in vehicle numbers from 900 million today to more than 2 billion in 2050, in line with a potential growth of carbon emissions from roughly 1 gigaton in 2000 up to 2-3 gigatons in 2050. Most of the increased demand is likely to be from fast-developing countries, such as India or China, where personal mobility is growing at high speed.

Future Lubricant Requirements Ian Bell R&D Director for Engine Oils Afton Chemical Ltd.

17th Annual Fuels & Lubes Asia Conference | March 9-11, 2011

Ian Bell, a native of northern Scotland, graduated with Honours in Chemistry from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1992. He followed this by attaining his doctorate, also at the University of Edinburgh, specializing in synthetic heterocyclic organic chemistry in 1996. Ian joined Exxon Chemical, and led the commercial development of several lubricant additives, primarily molybdenum-based friction modifiers. He subsequently enjoyed several technical roles within Infineum, authoring many patents and industry papers. During this time, Ian also obtained his MBA at Oxford Brookes University in the U.K. He left Infineum in 2004 to join BP, where he led product development projects and joint research activities with a key OEM account. He then moved to the central technology group into a technology strategy and planning role, spanning all of BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operational areas. In July 2008, Ian joined Afton Chemical as Assistant Director for EMEIA customer technical service, quickly moving into the role of R&D Director for Engine Oils, a global role responsible for all component and viscosity modifier development, product application research, product development and customer technical service. We are operating in an increasingly divergent market and the lubricant industry is being challenged to service many technical needs, driven by OEM specific technology. Developing the next generation lubricant technology is far more involved than just running a few engine tests. The ability to pass an engine test in isolation is far from sufficient to qualify a modern lubricant. It is often the case that engine test will have formulation appetites that go counter to one another, necessitating balances

and compromises the final solution. Each specification has several tests that all need to be passed for a given approval and the addition of OEM-specific requirements only increases this challenge. Undoubtedly the key to successfully navigating through these challenges is underpinned by deep technical understanding of the critical performance parameters and how these are affected by formulation changes, and indeed specific chemical changes within the additives employed. In the example of ILSAC GF-5 and General Motorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dexos1TM specifications, Afton R&D has established a deep understanding of these challenges and how they can be addressed by employing the appropriate chemistry. This paper will provide an overview of this situation and use examples of recent work to illustrate the growing need for deeper levels of technical understanding to underpin the compelling product solutions for the future.

Engine Oils of the World Ted Selby Research & Development Director Savant Group

17th Annual Fuels & Lubes Asia Conference | March 9-11, 2011

Ted Selby has studied the physical and chemical responses of lubricants since joining General Motors Research in 1952, Dow Chemical Co. in 1964, and Savant, Inc. in 1971. He is a member or Fellow of several technical societies including the American Chemical Society, the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers, the Society of Automotive Engineers, and ASTM International. In the course of his career he has given quite a few papers and generated a number of instrumental patents. Study and interpretation of the needs of engines has resulted in many different formulations of engine oils over the century in which these automotive devices have become linchpins of society. Performances of these oil formulations reflect various levels of technical understanding and availability of base oils, additives and engines in different parts of the world. While many engine oil formulations have met the needs of the engines for which they have been blended, not all formulations have been as successful as hoped. However, those that have shown limited performance have also been very instructive in guiding later formulations. Moreover, requirements for engine oil functionality have been more and more rapidly increasing with engines redesigned for greater power and efficiency. This presentation will discuss the progressive and cumulative changes in physical and chemical properties of engine oils obtained from the world’s markets by the Institute of Materials each year over the last 25 years.

Ultra-long Oil Drain Intervals in Natural Gas-Fueled Engines

Fred Girshick Senior Technology Advisor Large Engine Lubricants Infineum Fred Girshick is the Senior Technology Advisor for Large Engine Lubricants for Infineum, a joint venture between the additive divisions of Exxon Chemicals and Shell Chemicals. He supports customers of railroad, marine and natural gas engine oils. During 30 years’ involvement in engine oils, he formulated products for passenger car, heavy duty, aviation, marine, railroad and natural gas engines; conducted basic and applied research on rheology and engine oil performance; gave technical support to base stock refineries; conducted field tests; and, provided direct customer support. Fred received his Ph.D. in Nuclear Chemistry from Princeton University, and also has degrees in Mathematics, Statistics and Physical Chemistry. He is a Fellow of ASTM International and recently received the Sidney D. Andrews Scroll of Achievement, the highest award of the Committee on Petroleum Products. There is an obvious cost-benefit balance in the choice of oil drain intervals for engines using natural gas fuel. Longer oil drain intervals lower the costs for oil purchase, labor, and equipment downtime, the last usually being the most valuable. Shorter oil drain intervals may extend the overall life of the engine and reduce long-term maintenance costs, as well as provide a margin of safety and psychological

17th Annual Fuels & Lubes Asia Conference | March 9-11, 2011

“insurance.” Somewhere in between is the optimum for a given engine make, model, fuel composition and service. Oil drain intervals for large industrial gas engines are often determined by used oil analysis. Typical parameters, such as viscosity and acid number increase; base number decrease; oxidation and nitration by infrared; and wear metals content are compared to recommendations from the engine manufacturer, the analysis laboratory, or experience. A series of field tests was conducted to determine the trade-offs between oil drain interval, in-service oil properties and overall engine condition as indicated by wear and cleanliness. As expected, longer oil drain intervals—for constant engine model, fuel, service, and engine oil—led to increased deposits, which may or may not affect engine life. Wear was much less sensitive for these highly hydrodynamic engine designs. The validity of typical used oil condemning limits was explored by extending oil life beyond the recommended limits. In almost all cases, the engine manufacturer’s guidelines were found to be highly conservative. Generally, oil drain intervals may be extended beyond those guidelines with no apparent harmful engine effects, although there may be warranty implications. Differences among engine makes, models, and configurations are shown. Obvious parameters, such as brake mean effective pressure (BMEP), oil sump volume, and brake specific oil consumption (BSOC) affect the oil stress factor (OSF), but so do factors such as air:fuel ratio. Lean burn (λ ≈ 1.5) and ultra-lean burn (λ ≈ 2.0) configurations of the same make and model engine are shown to give significantly different stress on the oil and therefore, different oil drain intervals. Finally, a new engine oil formulation is demonstrated to double the oil drain interval of the previous “best in class” product,

without sacrificing wear, cleanliness, or used oil analysis parameters. The probable limitations of extended oil drain intervals will be discussed and predicted.

Development of Gas Engine Oils for Landfill and Biogas Applications Salvatore Rea P.E. – Infineum Marine/ Large Engine Technology Formal Education: Polytechnic University of New York (BSChE) Training and Relevant Experience: More than 33 years of combined service in Exxon Chemical Technology (Solvents and Paramins) and Infineum. Many accomplishments in process and product development spanning solvents, small engine lubricant additives, industrial components and gear oils. Currently making contributions to the development and deployment for Large Engine Lubrication Technology, including Gas Engine Oils, Railroad Oils and Marine Fuel Additives. Co-author of nine U.S. patents. Fred Girshick Senior Technology Advisor Large Engine Lubricants Infineum Landfill and biogas are growing segments for reciprocating internal combustion engines using gaseous fuels. The gas from decomposition of these sources is roughly half methane and half carbon dioxide, with significant impurities. Both types of fuel

contain significant quantities of sulfur, which forms strong acids in combustion. Landfill gas often contains halogens, which forms strong acids. These acids must be neutralized by the engine oil to prevent engine damage. Usually, the “soft” metal parts are most sensitive to acid increase: copper, if present in the oil cooler, bearings, and bushings, and lead, if present in the bearings. In addition, landfill gas generally contains siloxanes—silicon compounds which burn to form silicon dioxide deposits in the combustion chamber. If allowed to increase, these deposits can form hot spots leading to pre-ignition or detonation, foul the spark plugs leading to premature maintenance, coat the liner honing marks leading to loss of oil consumption control, or interfere with valve operation leading to valve torching. Most frequently, deposits derived from fuel siloxane are the most critical factor affecting engine maintenance intervals and overall maintenance cost. Engine oils designed for landfill and biogas service must control strong acids and deposits to a much greater extent than required for “clean gas” service. A field test was conducted comparing four engine oil formulations in commercial landfill service for 16 months. The oils showed differences in combustion chamber deposit control and oil consumption control, whose mechanism is likely to be control of liner deposits. Control of these deposits, by use of a detergent chemistry previously unused in this application, led to extension of the time between top-end overhauls. Control of used oil parameters, such as acid and base numbers, was achieved, allowing extended oil drain intervals. Building on this success, further improvements in corrosion control are sought, without sacrificing any of the

beneficial performance gains previously achieved. Bench test screening tools were developed for corrosion and deposit control, currently available industry tests having been shown to be inadequate to predict performance in these applications. Benchmarking was done against several “best in the field” oils, and component responses and interactions investigated. Detergent and corrosion inhibitor were found to be the main components defining a robust engine oil additive package. Field testing of the new generation oil is in progress; interim results will be presented.

While mono-grade fluids dominate the hydraulic fluids space, multi-grade fluids have made steady inroads where higher performance is needed. As mobile and industrial equipment becomes lighter and smaller, pump reservoirs also are getting smaller, leading to sub-optimal cooling from short residence times and low fluid volumes. Pumps are operating at ever increasing pressures (6000 psi), and fluid temperatures of 80°C and peak temperatures of 100°C are common, especially in mobile equipment, such as excavators and skid steer loaders. A relatively new class of fluids called Maximum Efficiency Hydraulic Fluids is now available that addresses the performance issues mentioned above and provides another important benefit: improved energy efficiency and fuel economy. Recent research at Evonik RohMax in hydraulic efficiency has shown the importance of viscosity control on hydraulic pump efficiency. Overall efficiency ηve is a product function of volumetric efficiency, ηvol (which reaches a maximum at higher viscosity) and hydromechanical efficiency, ηmech (which reaches a maximum at lower viscosity). A polymethacrylate viscosity index improver can be used to formulate a lubricant that optimizes these competing functions, resulting in increased system efficiency, energy savings and productivity and reduced emissions. Hydraulic fluids formulated to a high viscosity index (VI>160) with a shear stable polymer give higher efficiency than mono-grade oils at high temperatures due to reduced internal leakage, and at lower temperatures

due to reduced fluid drag at start-up. This produces a wider operating window where pump viscosity stays “in-grade.” The paper will present results from test rigs (vane, gear and piston pumps) and results from an excavator field trial, which showed that depending on the operating cycle, efficiency gains of up to 25% could be obtained using a high VI hydraulic fluid versus a standard OEM 10W oil. For each excavator, this corresponds to 18% less diesel fuel needed to do the same amount of work, or 12,666 fewer liters of diesel fuel per unit drain interval of 4,000 hours. Moreover, each excavator has 18% fewer emissions, i.e., 35 MT less CO2 emitted per vehicle. The attractive feature of using high efficiency fluids is that they can be readily applied to existing fleets. Wider adoption of these higher performance fluids is one way to efficient and sustainable hydraulic power.

element bearings for both industrial and automotive applications. The grease functions by providing a film of lubricant to separate moving surfaces in a bearing that consists of rolling elements and a bearing raceway. Extending the life of the rolling element bearing application requires formulating the grease to extend its useful life and demonstrating that the application life is increased. Many factors have an impact on the design of greases formulated to provide extended grease and bearing life. Not only is the choice of base oil and thickener important, but antagonistic relationships between the components in the grease may occur when formulating high performance greases. For long-bearing life greases in particular, balancing oxidation, load carrying capacity and wear is a key requirement. In industrial applications, the grease also needs to protect the mating surfaces from water-induced corrosion through additives. To provide an acceptable additive formulation in global markets, environmental consideration must also be given to the grease components. In North America, the ASTM D3527 wheel bearing life test represents a measure of performance for automotive service grease under GB or GC requirements of ASTM D4950 standard classification. The test is considered a bearing oxidation and degradation test for grease. In Europe, the FAG FE-9 test is widely used to define bearing oxidation life. An alternative, nonbearing method of measuring the oxidative stability characteristics of grease is pressure differential scanning calorimetry (PDSC), as measured by ASTM D5483. According to some published work, there is correlation between the two methods provided that oxidation is the primary degradation mechanism of the grease. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is also used to screen additives for use in high temperature greases. Multiple screening methods, including PDSC and TGA and ASTM

D3527, to look at the significant factors affecting bearing grease life and bearing life have been utilized and allowed the development of greases and grease additive formulations for extended bearing life and high temperature applications. The performance levels of selected greases were verified using standard FAG FE-8 (DIN 51819-2) and FE-9 (DIN 51821-2) testing. The study shows the importance of choices of base oils, the careful selection and balance of the types of additives in formulating greases with improved bearing life and reduced environmental impact.

Gary received his BS in Chemical Engineering Co-op from the University of Dayton, Ohio, and is currently a member of the Chemical Engineering Advisory Board at the University of Dayton. In his spare time, Gary teaches scuba diving as a PADI MSDT instructor. For lubricant manufacturers to design the right fluid for a vehicle manufacturer’s application, they must balance the need to reduce fuel consumption while offering equivalent or marked improvements in durability. For axle lubrication, this is easier said than done due to the severe operating conditions of the axles and the lubricant. Challenges like higher power densities and extreme axle temperatures make it difficult to insure the protection needed—let alone the desired fuel economy benefits—from the axle lubricant. Efficiency gains in axles may be realized by simply reducing the viscosity of the lubricant; however, these reduced viscosity fluids inherently can result in higher operating temperatures and durability loss due to reduced film thicknesses. This presentation will highlight new innovations in Gear Oil Additive Technology. In particular, it focuses on the fundamental relationships between axle oil viscosity and the efficiency/durability balance. It also describes the latest testing methodologies and the impact of new viscosity modifier chemistry for the next generation of gear oil lubricants.

The issue of “internal diesel injector deposits” or IDID affecting modern diesel fuel injector designs was raised at the last Esslingen Colloquium in 2009. Unlike conventional coking deposits which form on the tips of fuel injectors and within the fuel spray holes, this type of deposit is found within the injector body itself, such as at the armature group, on the piston and nozzle needle and inside the nozzle body. A build-up of these deposits can lead to a loss of vehicle drivability and rough engine running, as well as unwanted variations in power and loss of fuel economy. Many

17th Annual Fuels & Lubes Asia Conference | March 9-11, 2011

North American heavy duty engine manufacturers have expressed an urgent concern regarding this issue, with at least one experiencing actual field problems, and European OEMs appear principally concerned that IDID formation could hinder future injector developments. A number of possible reasons for the emergence of IDID problems have been postulated, including those due to mechanical, fuel or additive factors. However, to date, there has been very little firm evidence that any of these proposed mechanisms actually explain the issue. This paper will report on a study on internal injector deposits carried out from several perspectives. Detailed analysis of fuel injectors and filter deposits from IDID affected engines has been carried out for insights into deposit formation mechanisms. A fired dynamometer engine testing has been developed to tie deposit analysis to effects on engine performance. The engine tests also demonstrate that internal injector deposits can be prevented using advanced deposit control additive chemistry.

Recently, she has moved to Fuels Technical area, where she is responsible for Fuels Performance Additives. Modern-day diesel powered vehicles are subject to increasingly stringent exhaust gas emission regulations, whilst at the same time not jeopardizing end-user requirements such as power, torque, fuel economy and good drivability. Furthermore, in recent years concerns over climate change have resulted in measures being taken to reduce CO2 emissions from road transport. In Europe, for example, a target of 120 g CO2/km for passenger cars will be phased in from 2012 to 2015, with financial penalties for OEMs who fail to meet the target, whilst in Japan passenger car and light trucks are currently required to meet the national 2010 fuel efficiency targets. More stringent requirements are due to come into force in Japan in 2015 which will include limits for heavy duty vehicles. Diesel powertrains have undergone major technical advances in order to comply with

regulatory and end-user requirements, and these will continue to be further developed. Advances in Fuel Injection Equipment (FIE) have included increased injection pressure, multiple injection strategies, smaller nozzle holes and high efficiency injector nozzles. These measures ensure the precise and repeatable metering of even the smallest quantities of fuel as well as providing the excellent fuel atomization and spray characteristics necessary across all engine operating conditions to promote more complete combustion consistent with fuel economy targets. Concurrent with the advances in diesel FIE technology, these systems have become susceptible to the formation of a variety of deposits. These deposits can occur in different locations, e.g. in nozzle sprayholes and inside the injector body and can lead to problems such as power loss, emissions non-compliance, reduced fuel economy, poor drivability and difficulty in starting the vehicle if not controlled. Reported incidences are increasing in the European market, and have been seen in both Passenger Car (PC) and Heavy Duty (HD) vehicles. It is anticipated that as the Asia Pacific area starts to introduce more stringent emission regulations and use the latest diesel FIE technology to comply with these regulations, then the injector deposit phenomena observed in Europe and other parts of the world are likely to also be seen in Asia. FIE deposits can be very complex; a range of different types of deposits can be formed e.g. carbonaceous, soaps and ash containing deposits. Furthermore, formation of these deposits is not restricted to one particular type of mechanism; a variety of mechanisms, collectively or in isolation, can lead to deposit formation. Therefore, any additive solution needs to be able to control all types of deposits, be

cost competitive and provide harm-free application in the field. Using a variety of field trials and bench tests, it was possible to reproduce the FIE deposits seen in modern PC and HD engines (ranging from Euro 4 and Euro 5 engines). It was observed that engine performance was significantly impacted by the formation of deposits which may lead to increased fuel consumption, loss in power, poor drivability and failure to start. It was further demonstrated that advanced additive technology solutions can control these types of deposit, either by preventing or by removing them, and subsequently restoring the optimal operating condition of the engine.

Modern engines are designed to deliver more power, to be more durable and reliable, and last, but not least, to reduce the fuel consumption of cars. However, those high-tech machines require technologically advanced automotive fluids to operate at their optimum. It is known that even modern gasoline fuels may cause severe deposits built up in intake systems of the internal combustion engine. These deposits may cause drivability problems and they can lead to more exhaust gas emissions. The efficiency of a dirty engine is much lower than that of a clean engine. In particular, engines with direct injection systems are highly sensitive to injector deposits, which negatively impact on the spray pattern of those high tech nozzles. Advanced deposit control additives effectively minimize all kinds of intake system deposits and thus help keep the engine in good shape. Additized fuel which keeps the engine clean improves the engine efficiency compared to non-additized fuel. For many years, OEMs are aware of these benefits. Consequently, the World Wide Fuel Charter defines maximum deposit levels which only can be fulfilled by using deposit control additives. The charter is a guideline for our activities— typically we aspire to exceed these limits when we recommend an additive at a particular treat level. A further step to reduce fuel consumption can be achieved by using so-called friction modifiers. They can help reduce energy losses caused by internal friction. In particular, friction between the piston rings and cylinder wall can be reduced by using this type of chemistry. A significant part of the additive accumulates in the engine oil as well, which replenishes the friction modifier level or improves lower quality lube oils.

Combining both applications results in the optimum scenario: a clean engine experiencing reduced friction has been proven in different studies to decrease the average fleet fuel consumption by around 2%. While 2% may appear to be a small figure, the country-wide effect can be significant. Moreover, the introduction of gasoline performance additives can be realized within a reasonable time frame through acceptable investments. And the effect is to the benefit of all stakeholders: • The fuel marketer can claim better performance to support marketing campaigns • The customer will save fuel and repair costs by using well additized gasoline • Cleaner air is beneficial for people and the environment • Less emission of greenhouse gas CO2

Due to increasing governmental mandates for use of biofuels fossil diesel is nowadays blended with biodiesel, in so-called Bxx fuels. The properties of Bxx fuels mainly depend on the blend ratios and qualities of the fossil and bio components, which can differ significantly from one another. However, the use of this bio-based fuel is limited by its poor low temperature characteristics. Cold flow properties of pure biodiesel and Bxx fuels can be a challenge for operability at low temperatures, usually correlated to the CFPP test method and/ or to the cloud point in conjunction with sedimentation test results. Use of additives, i.e. biodiesel cold flow improver for B100 (BDFI) and combinations with middle distillate flow improver (MDFI) and wax anti settling agents (WASA) for Bxx fuels, is currently considered to be the most effective way to improve low-temperature operability.

The paper will describe the advantages of using BDFIs in combination with MDFIs, where BDFI-treated biodiesel is accepted for Bxx blending after the BDFI has passed the relevant no-harm tests.

John has a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Ph.D. in lean burn engine emissions, and is a chartered engineer. The need to maintain diesel fuel injection system performance is becoming ever more critical to ensuring emissions durability in

accordance with legislated requirements. At the same time, vehicle operators pursue improved fuel consumption to reduce both costs and their greenhouse gas footprint, all of this taking place against a backdrop of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel becoming available in a growing range of markets. Diesel fuel performance additives can help to deliver on these requirements by the prevention and removal of injection system deposits, enabling engines to operate at their optimum efficiency. Recognizing fuel efficiency as a key driver in the fuels market, this paper will discuss the two major industry diesel engine fuel tests currently in use, their relevance to the needs of the market and how to develop performance data more aligned with the needs of both the fuel supplier and the end user. It will also review the spreading phenomenon of internal injector deposits, discussing the different internal deposit types encountered, their root causes and indicate potential solutions to the issue.

Simon Mulqueen Technical Service Manager, Europe, Middle East and Africa Innospec Ltd. Simon Mulqueen graduated from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1994 with a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry. He joined Innospec in 1994 and has performed a variety of roles concerned with the technical development and application of the company’s fuel specialty product range. Currently, he is Technical Service Manager for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, where his responsibilities include customer technical service provision, coordination of laboratory, engine and vehicle tests for customer approval studies, and application testing for new product developments. To satisfy the requirements of modern diesel vehicle emissions standards, improvements in fuel quality have been necessary. This has led to the incremental development of improved fuel specifications, matching the requirements of new vehicle technology. As European emissions standards, e.g. Euro 4 or Euro 5, have been introduced significant refinery investment has also been necessary to comply with proposed fuel specifications.

These changes in fundamental fuel properties and composition have led to changing diesel additive requirements, necessitating the need for novel additive introduction, or changes in existing additive chemistry. In addition, as diesel engine and vehicle technology has advanced, greater sensitivity to fuel quality has been reported. This has led to an increased awareness of the need for diesel additive technology to protect the performance and emissions from these vehicles. Improvements in performance can be significant in modern diesel vehicles and benefits with respect to power and fuel economy are evident through additive use. Maintaining engine cleanliness is also critical in ensuring trouble-free operation and problems can be manifested in small passenger vehicles through to heavy-duty industrial equipment. This paper will review the changes in diesel fuel quality and engine technology and how additive use and type has changed to meet changing requirements.

Masahiko Ikeda graduated from Meiji University in Industrial Chemistry in 1979. After graduation, he joined the Technical Center of Lubrizol Japan Co. Ltd. as assistant chemist. In 1982, he was transferred to the Sales Department. In 1988, he returned to the Technical Center as assistant formulator in heavy-duty diesel oil and farm tractor oil. He is currently project manager for AT, CVT and DCT fluids. Continuously variable transmissions (CVT) have been successfully implemented, mainly by Asia-Pacific Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), into small and mid -size vehicles over the past decade. Due to increasing populated areas in

and around cities coupled with the global desire for enhanced fuel economy, future growth of CVTs are expected to steadily rise over the next several years, reaching about 7% of the global transmission population by 2015. CVTs were originally promoted as providing equal or better fuel efficiency over the 3-, 4-, and 5-speed automatic transmissions. However, the recent introduction of 6-, 7- and 8-speed automatics and the conversion from manual transmissions to Dual Clutch Transmissions (DCT) in Europe has provided convincingly equal or better alternatives to CVT units. Consequently, it is imperative that CVT technology must now demonstrate further improvements in fuel efficiency and overall performance to remain popular among OEMs and consumers. Some of these CVT improvements involve hardware changes, such as expanding of the variator gear ratio, the redesigning of oil pumps to improve efficiency, and the reduction of parasitic losses throughout the transmission. Another improvement that is equally important is the selection of the appropriate CVT Fluid that is optimized for performance and efficiency of the CVT. One of the key challenges for the CVT fluid formulator is to design a fluid with high metal on metal friction characteristics. The reason this high metal friction is needed in the CVT is to help reduce clamping forces between the belt and pulleys, which in turn improves overall vehicle efficiency. Concurrently, improvement in the wet clutch characteristics (enhanced anti-shudder durability) of the Torque Converter or Launch Clutch has become a major requirement for OEMs, especially with regards to the latest CVT designs. Other critical fluid demands relate to improved foam control throughout the life of the fluid, wear protection of the belt and pulleys, and shear stability of the fluid

viscosity. Obviously, proper selection of the CVT fluid plays a critical role in providing these OEM performance requirements for the next generation CVT. In this paper, we will discuss how our recently developed CVTF additive technology meets and often exceeds performance in these critical areas of high metal-to-metal friction and anti-shudder durability. This new additive technology is also flexible in providing wear protection at lower fluid viscosities, which inherently lowers churning losses for improved efficiency. We will also reveal how this new additive technology performs in other OEM CVT-type tests, including the globally accepted belt box durability test. Conclusively, we will demonstrate how this new CVTF technology can provide excellent performance across a wide range of CVT applications.

Evaluation of Different Base Fluids for Use in Engine Coolant Applications Steven Poppe Associate Chemist (Coolants Technology) Chevron Global Lubricants Steven Poppe graduated in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree at the Higher Education and Scientific Research Institute in the Netherlands. After specializing in organic chemistry, he started with Dow Chemicals in the Polyglycol R&D division. After that, he joined Texaco Technology Ghent Belgium in 1998 as R&D laboratory technician. During that period, he was managing and performing several test programs on engine coolants, and the first results on inhibited

glycol-free formulations were generated. Since 2004, he has been managing the Coolants Technical Services within Chevron Technology Ghent. This includes technical support, marketing support, customer training programs and customer complaint handling. Moreover, he is responsible for some special projects, mainly related to alternative freezing point depressants. During these years, he has built up significant experience in coolant technology, applications and trends. Most of the current commercially available engine coolants are based on monoethylene glycol (MEG) and monopropylene glycol (MPG). Both base fluids are very well known and widely applied for many years in diverse applications. With the advent of newer engine requirements, including longer drain intervals and higher operating temperatures and increasing legislative and environmental pressures, the search for alternative base fluids has become increasingly important to meet future demands. This trend is further shaped by the continuing decrease of available raw materials and the ongoing volatility in the glycol base fluid market. Over the past years, an increasing number of alternative base fluids have become available in the market. Alternatives include other glycols such as PDO (1,3 propanediol), which is claimed to have greater resistance to high temperature. In addition, chemicals such as glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel production, and less obvious approaches using small chain carboxylates as freezing point depressant, such as succinates, are being evaluated. These alternatives have the additional benefits in that they could be produced

from renewable sources making the coolants less dependent on fossil energy sources. They are also less toxic and more environmentally acceptable. This study will provide an evaluation of the viability of these new fluids as a base fluid for engine coolants. It will review the performance impact associated with the use of these new fluids in comparison with traditional base fluids. It will also provide commentary on the environmental and toxicological aspects and provide some reflections on the relative costs.

Improving fuel economy in heavy-duty diesel engines is one of the most important challenges for the coming years. Rising fuel costs and emerging on- and off-highway fuel economy regulations for diesel engines, starting as early as 2015, are having a profound impact on the direction of lubricant research in the industry. Earlier studies have been focused on developing a better understanding of the impact of operating conditions on fuel economy in a heavy-duty diesel engine. In addition, the impact of the lubricant’s viscosity grade, base oil type, VI improver type and performance additives have been evaluated. Data indicate that the predominant impact on diesel engine fuel economy, as it relates to a truck in on-highway type operation, is the high temperature lubricant viscosity. While the impact of moving to lower viscosity grades has been well established, there still is uncertainty over which

17th Annual Fuels & Lubes Asia Conference | March 9-11, 2011

critical viscometric parameters determine the fuel efficiency of a truck going down the freeway. In an attempt to clarify this issue, a further study was conducted to evaluate the viscosity-related parameters of experimental oils that impact an enginebased fuel economy test. The correlation analysis points toward certain parameters that represent the viscosity of the oil after it has been exposed to shear, as the most informative parameters for the prediction of fuel economy improvement potential.

Because of the introduction of very stringent emission regulations globally, off-road diesel engines for construction machineries have to have a stronger focus on environmental protection as well as being economical to run and have high power as demanded by customers. Through the development of new engine technologies capable of reducing environmental impact, diesel engine oils now have to be low ash with extra performance. Newly developed low-ash diesel engine oils show better performance in comparison to older higher ash diesel engine oils in terms of TBN retention, soot control and detergency performance.

Tech (Chemical), M.B.A. Experience: Petroleum, Additives—25 years of experience in the oil and additives industry—19 years with Chevron Oronite, mainly in various technical functions In recent years, there is increased focus on fuel economy engine oils for four-stroke motorcycle applications. This is driven by factors like reduced emissions mandated by government legislations and OEM’s drive to deliver improved fuel economy levels and meeting lower emission needs. Four-stroke motorcycle engine oils meeting the 10W-30 fuel economy levels need to have excellent, robust motorcycle performances, protecting all the three parts of the motorcycle, namely: engine, clutch and transmission gear. It requires careful selection and balance of the additive technology, viscosity index improver and base oils and confirmation of performances in 4-stroke motorcycles. In this paper, we will share the 4-stroke motorcycle performance data that we developed to confirm fuel economy type 10W-30 engine oil performances for

motorcycles--namely engine durability, oxidation, gear wear and friction. We will also share the 4-stroke motorcycle engine oils fuel economy study, which includes testing techniques and test data that we developed. Finally conclusion is drawn as to why high performance additives, VII, specific base oils are required for fuel economy type motorcycle engine oils and with the right oil, improvements in fuel economy are possible.

paper is made in most cases of cellulose, which tends to depolymerize stepwise over the years. The output of this degradation process is water, which is slightly distributed in the transformer fluid and the wire isolation. The majority of transformer oils are based on naphthenic basestocks with a limited water tolerance (IEC 60296, max. 30 ppm) to keep the dielectrical strength at a minimum of 30 KV. Because of this reason, the water level has to be regulated by drying measurements or very costly transformer oil regeneration. The decomposition of the cellulose is accelerated by catalytic short chain fatty acids being formed in the beginning of the paper depolymerization. Carbodiimides (CDI) are well-known and effective as acid scavengers in the lubricant and plastic industry to prevent hydrolysis and reducing traces of acidic materials. CDI-additization could be a new approach in extending transformersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; durability. It will be shown in the presentation that CDI are neutralizing specifically short acids in transformer oils and stabilizing isolation paper even under severe conditions. Investigations of the electrical properties will demonstrate the usability of CDIs in transformer oils.

Transformersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life span should last more than 35-40 years. In reality, transformer life is ending at an average of 17.5 years.

He is responsible for the development and support of NSF’s Taiwan and South East Asia-based clients, assisting them with testing and certification of products in the food safety program; non-food compound, cleaners and lubricant industries; municipal water treatment and distribution; residential water treatment; and plastic/plumbing industrial. Prior to joining NSF, Michael worked as a sales manager for GE for 10 years in the Residential & Commercial team of Water & Process Technologies, working in the Greater China market. Michael holds a B.A. degree in Biomedical Engineering from Taiwan’s Chung Yuan University. Centralized food processing throughout Asia is on the upswing in recent years. In addition to inter-regional trade, the majority of food and beverage products mass-produced in Asia are destined for the United States and Europe. Today, government authorities in China, India and other Asian nations are actively working to tighten national food safety laws to protect both their growing economies and their credibility within the global community. In particular, the focus on minimizing the likelihood of product adulteration by toxic or chemical substances is a key priority. Recent incidences such as the melamine contamination in animal feed and milk products have focused attention on the supply chain, as well as

manufacturing processes and controls. The rapid implementation of higher sanitation standards for food processing equipment and machinery throughout Asia is increasing awareness and demand for locally sourced food grade lubricants. Lubricants are essential components of processing equipment; however, traditional industrial lubricants pose a serious contamination risk if the lubricant comes into contact with food product during processing. The use of food grade lubricants significantly minimizes this potential contamination risk and helps food processors fulfill HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) requirements. This paper will provide an overview of: 1) the key influences, including newly introduced regulations, currently driving demand for food-grade lubricants in Asia, 2) the various industries, sectors and applications most actively utilizing food-grade lubricants, and 3) the technical parameters associated with formulating and labeling lubricants in compliance with applicable food safety regulations. It will address voluntary third-party Registration schemes currently used by the industry, and will provide an explanation of formulary requirements set forth in 21 CFR Section 178.3570 (United States Food and Drug Administration). This paper will further discuss the relevance of the international ISO standard for lubricants, ISO 21469: 2006(E)—Safety of machinery—Lubricants with Incidental Product Contact, for lubricant producers in the Asian market.
