  2. TOPICS COVERED • BACKGROUND • GREEN LUBRICANTS DEFINED • TEST METHODS • TRENDS- BASE STOCKS, ADDITIVES • MOTIVATIONAL EFFORTS • BIOBASED LUBRICANTS • CONCLUSIONS

  3. iitd CLEAN ENVIRONMENT MOVEMENT • BEGAN WITH “ SILENT SPRING” NOVEL BY • RAQUEL CARSON -A HALF FICTION & HALF TRUTH • DOCUMENTARY. • CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS,PARTICULARLY • DDT & RELATED PESTICIDES WITHDRAWN. • CHLORINATED SOLVENTS AND MANY POSSIBLE • TOXIC COMPONENTS OF HYDROCARBONS CAME • UNDER ATTACK • RIO AND KYOTO CONFERENCES AND EMERGENCE • OF SEVERAL NATIONAL ANF INTERNATIONAL NGOs • ADDED FURTHER IMPETUS • TODAY HYDROCARBON INDUSTRY IS THE • TARGET OF ATTACK BY ENVIRONMENTALISTS.

  4. CLEAN ENVIRONMENT MOVEMENT (CONTD) • RESULT • CLEANING OPERATION AT HEAVY COST STARTED. LUBRICANT • INDUSTRY WAS ALSO NO EXCEPTION. • NEW STANDARDS,NEW REQUIREMENTS AND THEREFORE NEW • PROCESSES, NEW FEED STOCKS EMERGED FOR BASE OILS / • ADDITIVES • TOXIC COMPONENTS SUCH AS CHLORINATED PARAFFINS, • HEAVY METALS, AROMATICS,NITRITES ETC REMOVED • FROM FINISHED LUBRICANTS. • DAYS FOR ECO-FRIENDLY FUELS eg. LPG. CNG, ETHANOL, • BIODIESEL ETC HAVE ALREADY COME. • DAYS FOR ECOFRIENDLY LUBES • DONOT APPEAR FAR

  5. LUBE OIL & POLLUTION • WORLD LUBE OIL CONSUMPTION (1995) 40.0 MMT • LUBES FOR TOTAL LOST SYSTEM @ 10% 04.0 MMT • 2 stroke oil • mould release • metal working • greases • chain lubricant • miscellaneous • USED OIL ( NONRECYCLED) 30% 12 MMT • TOTAL POLLUTING OIL 16 MMT LUBE OILS ARE OMNIPRESENT UNCONTROLLED RELEASE IN USA ALONE - 4.7 MMT Ref : S.Mohanti, envirotech India

  6. LUBRICATING OILS: OVERVIEW • Finished lubricants account for about 1% of total crude oil consumption* Lubricating Oil Base oil(80-95%)+Additive Package(05-20%) *Source : Concawe Report No. 5/96 (Europe)

  7. USED LUBE DISCHARGE TO ATMOSPHERE IN EUROPE FRESH OIL 5.3 MMT PROCESS OIL O.6 MMT AUTO LUBE 2.5 MMT IND. LUBE 1.7 MMT MARINE OIL 0.5 MMT TOTAL LOSS COLLECTABLE USED OIL 2.6 MMT (55%) AUTO LUBE 1.6 MMT IND.LUBE 1.O MMT MARINE OIL 1.O MMT COLLECTABLE USED OIL 1.5 MMT (32%) NOT RECORDED 1.1 MMT (23%)

  8. RE-REFINING OF USED OILS • FIRST INTRODUCED IN 1930’S AND INCREASED • SIGNIFICANTLY DURING WORLD WAR II • IN 1980’S MANY ACID/CLAY RE-REFINING PLANTS IN US • WERE SHUT DOWN DUE TO INCREASED ENVIRONMENTAL • CONSCIOUSNESS AND ECONOMIC REASONS • WORLDWIDE AROUND 400 RE-REFINING PLANTS • TOTAL CAPACITY ~1800 KT/YEAR • MOST OF THE PLANTS LOCATED IN EAST ASIA,INDIA,CHINA • & PAKISTAN • INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ON AN AVERAGE - 2 KT/YEAR • MOST OF THE PLANTS BASED ON ACID CLAY PR. Source : Concawe Report No. 5/96

  9. RE-REFINING : INDIAN SCENARIO • RE-REFINING UNITS REGISTERED WITH MOPNG: 69* • NO ORGANIZED USED OIL COLLECTION SYSTEM • RE-REFINING PROCESSES • SIMPLE RECLAMATION, • ACID/CLAY PROCESS • QUESTIONABLE ENVIRONMENTALLY • QUESTIONABLE PRODUCT QUALITY • ‘IMPORT’ OF USED OIL BY INDIAN RE-REFINING INDUSTRY RAMPANT FROM COUNTRIES WHERE DUE TO STRINGENT ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS WHICH –MAKE LOCAL DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS WASTE IN ACCEPTABLE MANNER COMMERCIALLY UNVIABLE *Source : Indian Express,October 27, 1995, NewDelhi

  10. DRIVERS FOR SHIFTS IN LUBE OIL QUALITY • REGULATORY PUSH • CLEAN AIR ACT • CAFE • BASE OIL • LOWER • VISCOSITY • HIGHER VI • LOW PP • LOW • VOLATILITY • ECOFRIEDLY • CONSUMER DEMAND • PULL • WARRANTIES • EXTENDED DRAIN • ECOFRIENDLY • LUBRICANT DESIGN • FLUIDITY • OIL CONSUMPTION • FUEL ECONOMY • EXTENDED INTERVAL • ENGINE DESIGN • CAT CONVERTOR • LOW FRICTION ENGINE • AERODYNAMICS

  11. ECO-FRIENDLY LUBRICANT • DESCRIBED IN MANY WAYS • - GREEN.BIODEGRADABLE,RECYCLABLE, • NONTOXIC,REUSABLE ETC • BIODERADABLE PRODUCT WITH LOW OR NO • TOXICITY HAVING MINIMUM IMPACT ON • ENVIRONMENT • THE MAIN DRIVING FORCE IN LAST DECADE, • MAXIMISING BIODEGRADABILITY AND • MINIMISING ECOTOXICITY TO REDUCE • ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

  12. FULL LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS-A MUST • BIODEGRADABILITY IS DEFINED • “AS SUSCEPTIBILITY OF A SUBSTANCE TO UNDERGO DEGRADATION • UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF BIOLOGICAL AGENTS SUCH AS BACTERIA, • FUNGI, YEAST ETC” • OTHER IMPORTANT CRITERIA ARE • ECO TOXICITY INCLUDING EFFECTS OF LUBRICANT AND • ITS PHOTO AND BIODEGRADED PRODUCTS ON LIVING • ORGANISM • BIOACCUMULATION POTENTIALS, • EFFECTS ON EMISSION QUALITY, • USE OF RENEWABLE RAW MATERIALS • A FULL LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS – A PRACTICE TODAY

  13. FULL LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS IS NECESSARY TODAY • ECO TOXICITY INCLUDES EFFECTS OF LUBRICANTS • AND ITS DEGRADED PRODUCTS ON LIVING ORGANISMS • A FULL LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS - A PRACTICE TODAY • RESEARCH&DEVELOPMENT • MANUFACTURING • BLENDING, STORAGE,DISTRIBUTION • PACKAGING • MSDS • IMPACTS DURING USE • COLLECTION OF USED OILAND PACKAGING • RECYCLING OR DISPOSAL

  14. POTENTAL ACTIONS DURING LIFE CYCLE PHASE

  15. MOTIVATIONAL EFFORTS • MASS AWARENESS • CHANGING PERCEPTIONS • POLITICAL COMPULSIONS • IMPROVED LIVING STANDARDS • PACKAGES OF • INCENTIVES AND DISINCENTIVES

  16. GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES • IN GERMANY ANY MATERIAL CAPABLE OF SEEPING AWAY • IS CONSIDERED UNFRIENDLY TO ENVIRONMENT • MEASURES UNDERTAKEN IN DEVELOPED NATIONS TO • PROMOTE ECOFRIENDLY PRODUCTS • LEGAL PROHIBITIONS • QUASI LEGAL ORDERS • HUGE SUBSIDIES • PRESSURE GROUPS • MANUFACTURER’S OWN INITIATIVES

  17. GERMAN ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS • THE GERMAN WATER LAW • THE DRINKING WATER DIRECTIVE • THE GERMAN GROUND LAW( IN DRAFT) • THE FEDERAL EMISSION LAW • THE RECYCLING AND WASTE LAW • THE CHEMICAL LAW • THE ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY LAW • GERMAN PARLIA,EMT INITIATIVES • THE “BLUE ANGEL” ECOSEAL

  33. USED OIL RE-REFINING IN INDIA: ISSUES • Infrastructure for Environment Friendly re-refining technology • Import of waste oil – dumping ground • Base oil quality • Record of recognized producers and users of re-refined oils in the country and curb on malpractices

  34. USED OILS: CHARACTERISTICS USED OILS PRESENT A VARIED AND POORLY DEFINED COCKTAIL OF COMPOUNDS • IN USE, A LUBRICANT MAY BECOME CONTAMINATED, OR MAY UNDERGO DEGRADATION SO THAT ITS HAZARD TO HEALTH IS INCREASED OR NEW ONES INTRODUCED. TYPICAL PROBLEMS ARE: • CONTAMINATION WITH ENGINE COMBUSTION PRODUCTS, PARTICULARLY PCAS • CONTAMINATION WITH BACTERIA AND DECOMPOSING DEAD BACTERIA Source : Concawe Report No. 5/87

  36. OILY SLUDGE/WASTE DISPOSAL Oily sludge • Classified as hazardous waste (cat. 10 & 12 of IHWR 1989) • Significant environment risk • Contamination of ground water through leaching • Release of VOCs, odour • Health hazard due to direct/indirect exposure. • Pollutants include phenols, HCs, heavy metals like chromium, nickel, cadmium, lead, manganese, zinc, copper etc Source : Bhattacharya, NEERI, Petrotech-2001

  37. IMPORT OF USED OIL IN INDIA : REGULATORY SCENARIO • WASTE OIL CLASSIFIED AS HAZARDOUS WASTE AS PER HW RULES 1989/2000 • ‘BASEL CONVENTION’ 1992 • ON CONTROL OF TRANSBOUNDARY MOVEMENT OF HW,PROHIBITS IMPORT OF WASTE OIL (LISTED IN ‘LIST A’, ANNEX VIII) • INDIA IS SIGNATORY TO THIS CONVENTION • HW RULES 1989/2000:PERMISSION TO IMPORT GRANTED BY MOEF UNDER RULES 13(3) AND 14 (3) RULE 13(3):MOEF MUST SATISFY ITSELF THAT IMPORTER HAS ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY/APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY FOR REPROCESSING...

  38.

  49. BIOBASED LUBRICANTS • POSITIVE SIDE • BETTER VISCOSITY-TEMP RELATIONSHIP • BETTER LUBRICITY • ECO FRIENDLY • BETTER VOLATILITY CHARACTERSTICS • SURPLUS AVAILABILITY IN SOME COUNTRIES • NEGATIVE SIDE • OXIATION,HYDROLYTIC AND THERMAL • STABILITY • HIGH PERFORMANCE ADDITIVES GMO MAY PROVIDE THE ANSWER
