He’s giving a keynote speech titled “Energy-Related Results, Observations, and Analysis from Solomon Associates' Latest Fuels and Lube Studies.” Wright will discuss observations and trends on energy consumption in Europe and the rest of the world based on results from Solomon’s Worldwide Fuels Refinery Performance Analysis (Fuels Study) and the Worldwide Paraffinic Lube Refinery Performance Analysis (Lube Study) for operating year 2012. He will identify the major gaps in energy consumption between Europe refineries and the world's best. Wright will also provide further insights into steam consumption within refineries.
Additionally, Jamie Brunk, Lube Study Manager at Solomon, is scheduled to speak as a key panelist at the 2nd Annual CIS Base Oils, Lubricants, and Fuels Conference from May 27–29 in Moscow, Russia. The conference will disclose new strategies of base oils, lubricants, and additives companies are using in light of domestic and global market trends and latest government regulations. Brunk will discuss the performance of the Russian base oil refineries, based upon results from Solomon’s 2012 Lube Study. He will compare their performance to worldwide competition. Efficient refinery performance will be especially critical over the next several years as competition increases due to the many new base oil production facilities that have been recently completed or are under construction.
