1. Naval Fuels & Lubricants IPT Quality Day 19 November 2003 Lynda Turner

3. Navy Specifications Update/Status

4. Navy Specifications Update MIL-DTL-5624 JP-5 Currently undergoing final coordination Total Sulfur lowered from 0.40 to 0.30 mass% max ASTM D 1094/Water Reaction requirement removed FSII limits lowered from 0.15- 0.20 to 0.10 – 0.15 vol% ASTM D 5901 removed JP-4 to be identified as “inactive for new design” JP-5/JP-8 ST removed Expected to be published by Dec 03

5. JP-5 Sulfur Issue Proposed JP-5 total sulfur limit of 0.20 mass% (max) Based upon DESC concerns with availability, Navy agreed to lower sulfur limit to 0.30 mass% (max) Changing Shipboard Propulsion Sulfur limits continue to drive change Mandated by EU and other regions in the world Ships must burn MGO with 0.20 mass% max sulfur while in port waters Navy proposed to burn JP-5 in port waters DESC has solicited for 0.20 mass% sulfur East/Gulf and Atlantic/Europe/Med to accommodate this mandate

6. Navy Specifications (cont’d) MIL-PRF-16884 F-76 “K” Revision Published 14 November 02 Aniline Point requirement removed Carbon Residue requirement clarified (on 10% bottoms) 0.14/0.20 mass % depending upon the test performed Currently undergoing amendment Update Storage Stability requirement to coincide with Update to ASTM 5304 Clarify Acceptable Materials Include an Additional Automated Pour Point Method (ASTM D 5985)

7. Navy Specifications Update DOD-A-24682 Fuel Oil Stabllizer QPL Currently undergoing revision Updating to Performance Specification Inclusion of Navy Coalescence Tester (NCT) as acceptable alternative to current test method in Appendix A (Water Separability Effects of Additives) Expected to be published by Aug 04

8. Navy Specifications (cont’d) ASTM Storage Stable Diesel Fuel Specification Newly proposed specification Sub E Ballot Negatives Resolved Changed Title to “Standard Specification for Middle Distillate Fuel Oil – Military Marine Applications” Other Changes will be considered after specification is published Undergoing D-2 Ballot at this time

9. Navy Laboratory Correlation ProgramFY 03 Results 14 Participating Navy Laboratories Tested JP-5, F-76, LTL 96% of all results are within acceptable reproducibility limits 6/14 labs performed ALL tests within acceptable limits Improvement compared to FY02 Correlation program results Naval F&L IPT is working with Labs to correct deficiencies found

10. Navy Specification (cont’d) MIL-PRF-17331 Updated specification released Sept 2003 Five year requalification cycle added Air release and off-gassing requirements Color, Carbon Residue, Sulfated Ash and Acidity requirements deleted Methods updated to include new ASTM procedures Increased participation by manufacturers BP now on QPL bringing total to four qualified suppliers Shell commencing qualification process Requests for information received from other sources Approved emergency sources identified in Fifth Fleet Area of Operations

11. Biodiesel Efforts

12. Naval F&L IPT Biodiesel Position As Mandated in EO 13101/13149 the Navy position is to encourage use of biodiesel for non-tactical use only where feasible Naval IPT position : BIODIESEL SHALL NOT BE USED IN TACTICAL VEHICLES Naval Guidelines: Only at locations where consumption is within 6 months Must have infrastructure already in place All Navy procurement requirements must be passed through NOLSC-DC (NPO) first Naval activities are highly encouraged to procure through DESC Navy supports DESC Clause 16.27 Product not meeting C 16.27 is not permitted in DLA-owned tanks Determination of tank cleaning needs contained in Naval Message

13. Other Navy Biodiesel On-going Efforts Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme, CA Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center/Biodiesel Industries, Inc. developed a modular biodiesel processing unit Uses cooking oil/esterification process Current usage: NBVC: 20,000 gallons/yr Channel Islands National Park: 20,000 gallons/yr Ventura County: 20,000 gallons/yr Project with Arizona Tour Boats (Pearl Harbor) using B100 Coast Guard Academy biodiesel trial (B20)

14. Naval Single Fuel-At-Sea Study

15. Justification for the Study of JP-5 as Single Naval Fuel DoD Standardization Policy Directive 4140.25 High-Level Navy Fleet Requests Potential to Reduce Fuel Infrastructure and Add Flexibility to Fuel Replenishment Events Reduced JP-5 / F-76 Requirements Over Time Refining Industry Consolidations and Ownership Phase One Study has been completed and report issued (25 Oct 02) ULTIMATE GOAL: SINGLE NAVAL BATTLEFIELD FUEL

16. Phase One Study Results Availability of JP-5 Appears Adequate Over 5-10 Year Implementation JP-5 Would Cost More JP-5 and F-76 Requirements Reduced By About 50% Since 1990 Operational Benefits Scheduling Unreps Improved Ship Readiness Freeze Pt., Storage/Thermal Stability, Hydrogen, S, Trace Metals, PM Reduced Emissions Sulfur, Aromatics Maintain/Increase Refiner Supply Base Longer-Term Contracts Increased JP-5 Volumes

17. Phase One Study Results (cont’d) JP-5 Will be Augmented With Commercially Available Marine Middle Distillate (MGO PD and/or New ASTM Fuel Spec) F-76 Phased Out Potential Issues Cetane Index Lubricity/Viscosity/Corrosion Inhibitor FSII Impact on F-76/Commercial Fuels Naval F&L IPT Executive Committee Endorsed Proceeding with Phase Two Study

18. Phase Two – On-going effort Quantify Impacts Conduct Shipboard Operational Analysis Estimate Ship Overhaul/New Construction Costs Estimate Shipboard Engine/Fuel System Maintenance Impacts Determine Fuel Storage Infrastructure Impacts

19. Phase Two (cont’d) Estimate Prepositioned Equipment Impacts Determine Impact on Alliance and Interoperability Agreements Other Services NATO, ABCANZ, etc Study of Intrinsic Benefits Examples Improved Readiness Reduced Demand Variation Increased Fleet Endurance Fewer Shuttle Oilers

20. Knowledge Management

21. Naval F&L IPT Knowledge Management On-Line Collaboration Tool (eRoom) Naval F & L IPT IT solution – automatic support in areas of workflow/document management Waivers/Deviations/Exceptions Action Items R&D LIMS Fuels Library Web site Designed to automate/document processes that are currently supported via telephone, e-mail, and personal contact

22. LIMS Navy position to standardize LIMS Status to date: Current Quality Business processes mapped Navy Site Types NOLSC-DC: Navy’s Service Control Point FISC: Navy’s Deep Water Terminals storing wholesale DLA product NAS: Navy’s retail outlet for DLA product R&D: (i.e. PAX River, NRL, Philly) Desire a System to transmit/receive electronic data feeds (all services, DESC)
