to better support its customers, nynas has hired a new senior technical coordinator in naphthenics – thomas norrby. a former r & d manager for statoil lubricants, thomas has a long history in the lubricants industry. he takes a moment to explain some major shifts in the business and why oil companies and universities can have a win - win relationship .
verhoie says nynas plans to continue its efforts to produce sustainable products to supply to the tyre industry. “we continue to create oil which will contribute to the performance of tyre with less emission and impact environment. when it comes to the tyre industry, lot of pressure comes from emission and we will continue to develop those products to tackle the emission issue. ”

bitumen is made from imported crude oil. it is pumped from tanker vessels in the port of gothenburg to the nynas refinery where it is distilled to create various products. at the very top of the distillation tower, lighter oil products are extracted, such as petrol and diesel. lower down it is the heavier products that are extracted, and at the very bottom are the residues – bitumen .
. after the transaction, the merged entity will remain the only naphthenic base and process oil producer and the largest producer of tfo in the eea. nynas will face substantial competition only from ergon, a us - based company that entered the eea market as an importer in 2008. therefore, the commission initially expressed concerns that the proposed transaction could harm competition and opened an in - depth investigation (see
“the management is very knowledgeable and everyone within the company is a specialist in their respective fields, ” she said. “as a market manager, you want your business to provide customers with good technical support, and the technical teams here at nynas are outstanding. but i also think i have a lot to contribute, especially when it comes to growing in asia, since i have lived and worked extensively in the region. ”
crude oil consists of various chemical compounds, both small, volatile molecules and large hydrocarbons. the light fractions consists of paraffins, naphthenes and aromatic hydrocarbons. paraffins are made up of straight chains with a varying number of carbon atoms, while naphthenes consist of rings of carbon atoms, with 5 - 6 carbon atoms in each ring. aromatic hydrocarbons consist of one or more hydrocarbon rings with six double - bonded carbon atoms. the picture shows bitumen from nynas .
traffic noise is a significant problem to which several million individuals in europe are exposed. progress has been made in reducing engine noise, but another important component of overall noise levels is the noise generated by tyres moving across the road surface. various approaches to solving this problem are currently being examined. nynas produces an extra strong binding agent which makes it possible to produce tarmac with gaps where the sound, and even rain water, can be absorbed into the surface .
to educate people, nynas is associated with different associations and organizes seminars around the world to inform its customers about upcoming legislations and take part with govt bodies, which take policy decisions. “we give lot of support to industry stake holders to create awareness and utilize the expertise we have gained over the years. though such initiatives do not help us economically but it’s our duty to contribute to make the tyre industry eco - friendly through our business, ” says verhoie .
nynas is going aggressive in growing markets. “we grow with our customer’s growth. we are opening activities and new offices in promising markets. for instance, we have opened an office in japan for more proximity with our customers in the country and understand the market. we are also recruiting people in new markets. with these, we will not only supply our products but we will also share our knowledge and expertise to market we have gained over the years, ” says verhoie .
however, during the in - depth investigation shell demonstrated that it would not continue to operate the harburg refinery, as in its current set - up it is economically unsustainable. the business model that will allow nynas to operate the harburg plant is different from the current one and requires significant investment. the commission' s in - depth investigation also showed that there are, other than nynas, no alternative buyers for the acquisition of the harburg refinery assets. therefore, the most likely alternative scenario to the proposed transaction would be the closure of the harburg refinery. this means that the reduction of the number of competitors in the market would occur anyway and would not be caused by the acquisition itself. moreover the closure of the harburg refinery would reduce the naphthenic base and process oil production capacity in the eea below eea demand. demand for these products in the eea would then have to be met by imports and consequently higher prices for consumers due to import costs .
another approach, in which nynas is not involved, is to add rubber waste to the finished tarmac. at present, a trial is underway in the municipality of lund where pieces of old tyres, only a millimetre in diameter, are added to the black binding agent in the tarmac. the quality of the tarmac has become more even, and the swedish national road administration is monitoring the trial with great interest. another health and environmental benefit expected from this method is that it reduces the quantity of particles released from the road surface .
the stockholm - headquartered company has also invested storage capacity in singapore, china and india. last year nynas opened a 32, 000 cubic metres storage in singapore, which has helped the company to speed up deliveries of naphthenic specialty oils and increase the availability in the asia - pacific region. with this, according to the company, delivery times will be shortened from six weeks to two weeks. “now, we can bring bigger ships from our production facilities here and that helps us reduce the cost per ton and optimizing logistic costs, ” adds verhoie .
sweden has no useable oil wells, but it does have refineries where oil is processed. nynas is one of the companies operating in this area, and is a world - leader in the production of specialist oils. at present, the primary raw material is an extremely viscous heavy oil from venezuela, which is not suitable for petrol and diesel production. it is, however, ideal for the production of oils which are expected to perform well for a long period of time in various applications, e. g. transformers, printing ink, tyres and roads .
nynas bitumen' s extra range includes the nypol binder, and one of its best selling and longest established products, nypol s89, is being used by midland quarry products within a new thin surfacing material, specified for road renewal projects with local authorities in the midlands. another product in the extra range, nypave px, designed to be mixed at temperatures up to 30o less than conventional binders, contains polymers that improve the workability of an asphalt. this cooler binder allows a road to be trafficked sooner, and was recently used on the m8 in scotland during overnight closures of the motorway .
“a lot of tyre companies have narrowed their focus and expanded in asia, mainly in china and south east asia, in the last five to ten years. both local capacity consumption and exports to the us and european markets have increased in the region. as a consequence, we have invested heavily to enhance our refining capacity, storage capacity and get closer to our existing and potential customers. we already have a significant share in low pca oil for the tyre segment in the region, ” pascal verhoie, regional director for asia, middle east and africa region, nynas oil, told tyre asia .
nynas is currently developing naphtenic oils suitable for use as softeners in car tyres. the aim is to make them a good alternative to the toxic oils currently used by the world’s tyre producers. the eu has decided that these carcinogenic high aromatic oils, or ha oils, must not be used in tyres after 2010, since ha oils end up in the natural environment as tyres wear down. they are also a problem in the working environment. the alternative to ha oils must provide at least the same braking performance, and also have equivalent safety and technical properties. the tyre manufacturers are now working intensively to find alternatives .
very little is known about oil refineries, what they do and how they do it. truth is, very little is known about this remarkable substance we call oil – even by people who work with it daily. this section is designed to provide some insight – and hopefully inspiration – to students, educators and journalists who want to explore the oil business from a variety of perspectives. the stories are of general, technical and environmental interest. each one includes contact details to nynas personnel who can provide you with further information. come back soon as we' ll be adding more' stories' on a regular basis .
despite the lack of legislative compulsion in india, tyre companies in the country are inching towards sustainability on the anticipation of upcoming legislations and future consumers demand for eco - friendly tyres. “many tyre companies in india are willing to use safe oil for making tyres. indian companies which are in exports have also already started using safe oil for their tyre to adhere to international standards. despite the lack of legislations to use low pca oil and green raw materials, many tyre companies have taken csr seriously and started using low pca oils. many tyre companies under their csr programmes have gone green across their plants, ” says the director of amea of nynas .
the current geo - political turmoil in middle - east has brought challenges to companies doing business in the region and it has also impacted nynas’ business marginally. “there are relatively less tyre manufacturers in middle east but in egpyt, yes, there are few tyre and vehicle manufacturers. in egypt, there has been an impact on our business but not to that extent that we are not able to supply anymore. in turkey, we are not fully affected due to the me turmoil. however, what is happening between turkey and russia may have some impact on our business in future but right now we have not had a hit due to the crisis in turkey, ” says verhoie .
the european commission has cleared under the eu merger regulation the proposed acquisition of certain refinery assets of shell deutschland oil gmbh located in hamburg / harburg (germany) by nynas ab of sweden. the commission’s in - depth investigation showed that a closure of the harburg refinery assets is the most likely scenario in the absence of the proposed transaction. this would significantly reduce the production capacity in the european economic area (eea) market for naphthenic base and process oils, which are used in a variety of products (e. g. industrial rubber, adhesives, fertilisers), and for transformer oils (' tfo'), which are used to insulate power transformers. the closure would lead to higher prices for european consumers .
rebranding of the company' s binders has been a thoroughly worthwhile exercise, says jukka laitinen, who is nynas bitumen' s asphalt engineering support manager in the uk .
the performance programme has been launched so that we can clearly explain to customers from all across europe the benefits of each binder within our entire product range. not all products are available in each country and some have been developed specifically for local markets, but each binder is now named and ranked in a consistent manner .
a key driver on many projects is the need for speed, and using polymers is seen by those in the know as a great way of allowing roads to be reopened sooner, as pmbs can allow materials to be laid at cooler temperatures .

fossil oil is of fundamental significance to a modern society, both as a source of energy and as a chemical raw material. refined oil is used to produce a wide variety of products such as petrol, diesel, heating oil and tarmac. it also is an ingredient in plastics, fabrics, hygiene and beauty products. the availability of high - quality oil is limited, while heavy oil reserves will last for hundreds of years. there are multiple and well - documented environmental problems caused by the production and use of oil products, including various types of local and global air pollution, the spread of heavy metal and carbon dioxide emissions which affect the climate .
