In the afternoon of the first day a notable presentation was given by Joyce De Thouas from Argus Media Ltd who made sense of the changing price of base oils in the volatile market over the past twelve months. It seems as though energy self-sufficiency in America coupled with the inability of OPEC countries to agree production levels, will see some market price fluctuations for a few months yet before Argus see some supply/ demand balance after this period.
The first day close was followed by an after work drink and networking opportunity for delegates to network before the evening dinner, sponsored by Lubrizol was held in the historic and impressive Ridings room.
On day two Thomas Hickl from Opel AG talked about revision of the oil specifications in the environment of engine architectures in relation to dexos. The eagerly awaited ACEA 2016 specifications are due over the course of the next few months and the revision is expected to include a raft of new engine tests and specific specifications to take account of bio fuels and issues to address low speed pre ignition(LSPI). Dr Kaustav Sinha from Chevron Oronite spoke about engine downsizing whilst
improving fuel economy and performance which has resulted in issues such as LSPI which are being actively addressed by the industry.
After lunch Sandy Reid-Peters from Exxon-Mobil gave an engaging presentation on the use of PAO for industrial applications in a market which has seen a reduction in Group I capacity over the previous few years. Milind Phadke from Kline closed the conference with an overview of the global lubricants market.
The UNITI conference continues to set the standard for a sector event which brings together industry professionals with technical experts to discuss market-leading issues affecting both fuels and lubricants, and this year was no exception.
