Forget football season, it’s conference season... EDITORIAL
Autumn is a busy time in our industry with conferences, congresses and exhibitions ramping up their schedules across Europe and internationally, the next couple of months will see Lube magazine supporting the following events as media partner: GOMA (Croatia), UEIL (Cannes), Advanced Engineering (UK) and an exciting new partnership for Lube, with NORIA at the Machinery Lubrication Conference & Exhibition in Houston, Texas (USA).
Readers who are new to the industry may not be aware that Lube is the official European Lubricants Industry (UEIL) magazine, published by the United Kingdom Lubricants Association (UKLA). As Lube’s editor, I’m privileged to be able to attend many of these events where I have the opportunity to meet and network with sector experts, innovators and thought leaders, always a rich source of information and new content. I’m able to explore ideas for technical contributions and articles, to share industry and regulatory insights and of course to make new contacts, reconnect with old friends and establish new advertiser partnerships (always valued and appreciated!).
Our presence and engagement at these events is an important way to ensure Lube magazine stays current, fresh and topical. Without your cooperation and collaboration, this would not be possible. So thank you!
With such a busy season ahead, we have highlighted some of the upcoming meetings in this issue’s Events pages (48-52) including the full UEIL Congress programme (page 59). My editor interview ‘In conversation with….’ features UEIL President, Valentina Serra-Holm, who was recently appointed VP of Global Product Marketing at Calumet; she shares interesting insights on both these roles.
Elsewhere this month, ‘global heavy duty diesel engine oil specifications and their impact on current
and next generation lubricants’ are presented by Ruud ter Rele, Peter Kleijwegt, Marta Sabater Ferret, Richard van den Bulk in Chevron Oronite’s technical paper (page 10); Rod Pesch, UKLA’s technical director, answers the question ‘diesel v petrol?’ in ‘Everything you always wanted to know about…’ on page 14. There are articles and insights on renewables and regulation from Novvi, Nyco, Neste, Perstorp and Q8, and from the USA, we share a detailed analysis from the Koehler institute on the challenges that beset the new ILSAC GF-6 oil specifications for passenger vehicles and light trucks. This month’s Lube Tech is presented by Lubrizol’s Harriet Brice and Ian Bown (page 34) and asks why ‘Base Number alone is not the answer when formulating cylinder oils for 0.5% sulphur fuels’ – excellent timing ahead of January’s new marine industry regulation, IMO2020; the industry is clearly preparing for its impact on the lubricant supply chain.
Our regular Lube features are all present, including VLS, Local and UEIL reports along with our Brexit update and professional development tutorial. October’s issue is always packed with event information and news, but don’t worry if you miss any of the events - our December (and subsequent) issues will highlight relevant content and key messages.
I hope to see many of you during the next few weeks – and for those I may miss, I look forward to seeing you next time! Now, I’d better go buy a new frock (or two!)…
Best wishes
