Microbial contamination in aviation fuel creates biomats that clog filters
and scavenge systems, coat fuel quality indicator systems (FQIS)
probes, and lead to structural corrosion, impacting the operational and
economical aspects of turbine powered fixed wing and rotary wing
aircraft. From inaccurate fuel level readings to aborted take-offs and air
interrupts, microorganisms can wreak havoc on the entire aircraft and
the system operations. Attendees will learn how microorganisms enter
and survive in the fuel distribution and storage network, and how a
routine surveillance program can manage risk and mitigate lost profits.
Students will have the opportunity to experience hands-on techniques
to detect and remediate contamination in aviation fuel systems.
Learning Objectives
By attending this seminar, you will be able to:
Describe the impact of microorganisms on aircraft fuel systems
Explain how microorganisms survive in an aviation fuel environment
Determine how microorganisms enter the fuel storage and
distribution system
Detect and remediate microbially contaminated fuel systems
Improve the overall operational reliability of aircraft and reduce
maintenance costs
