Egham,United Kingdom - June 21, 2022 /PressCable/ —
Earlier today, Conidia Bioscience spoke more in-depth about a recent post on its website covering a guide to testing aviation fuel for contamination. Aviation fuel can be polluted in numerous ways, both during the supply chain and storage as well as during commercial, corporate, and general aviation operations.
Aviation fuel can be polluted in various ways, such as particles, water, and different fuel types that utilize the same delivery mechanism. In addition, they can involve microbiological contamination, which will be discussed in this article.
Aviation fuel, often known as jet fuel, is susceptible to contamination by airborne and surface-dwelling bacteria. Left uncontrolled, these bacteria can cause mechanical and system failures, operational issues such as aircraft grounding, corrosion, and, in extreme situations, total engine failure.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) suggests doing a jet fuel test at least once annually. This will offer clients a general grasp of their fuel and fuel tank’s condition.
The purpose of testing for the majority of operators is to detect aircraft jet fuel contamination at its early stage, before operational concerns arise. By doing so, they can prevent heavier pollution, which can lead to corrosion and other concerns. Important as it is to detect gasoline contamination early, people must also evaluate their risks and fleet’s known history.
Microbiological contamination in jet fuel is measured with IP385. This method measures contamination in cfu/ml for water and cfu/l for aviation fuel. Immunoassay lateral flow device approaches, ATP analysis, and molecular methods are now available. Many operators test fuel and water separately. Because of its density, water forms a separate layer or ‘phase.’ There’s no clear association between water and fuel microbe counts. Water phase bacteria contamination is 1000 times higher.
Depending on the procedure, users may need lab knowledge and aviation fuel testing equipment. To find out more please see the following url: https://conidia.com/
