- Additional information
- In realizing emission targets and mitigating against problems associated with turbo charged spark ignition engines, several lubricant base oils were tested using experimental and numerical techniques. This collaborative project, undertaken at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, was funded through Saudi Aramco. The knowledge from this project has allowed Saudi Aramco (Prof Sarathi: mani.sarathy@kaust.edu.sa), one of the largest oil producing companies, to implement processes of formulating engine lubricants that will not promote pre-ignition in turbo charged spark ignition engines.
