PAC AC Analytical Controls FAME Traces in AVTUR Analyzer
Easy to Use, Straightforward Operation
FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) are used as blend stock for diesel in a refinery process. Jet fuel/AVTUR (Aviation Turbine Fuel) is often produced, transported and stored using the same infrastructure as FAME feedstocks. The jet fuel might be contaminated with FAME traces leading to risks of coke/soot deposits in the fuel system, gelling of the fuel, microbial growth, interaction with jet engine’s rubber materials, and increased corrosion: all issues can lead to significant jet fuel engine operability problems, and possible jet fuel engine flameouts. PAC offers accurate and reliable measurement of FAME contamination in jet fuel: the FAME in AVTUR analyzer can significantly contribute to improving aviation safety.
Superior unattended productivity through automation
Minimal operator time, involvement, and expertise required, minimal training required
Lowest cost of ownership: no sample preparation, minimal consumable requirements
Superior Scope, Precision and Accuracy
More confidence in Aviation Safety
Handles wide range of jet fuels, including e.g. Diesel contaminated
Broad analysis range, including C14:0 for detecting “Coconut Type” feedstocks
Covers 5-150 ppm FAME , Speciated and Total FAME data
Excellent performance with far best overall precision
Interference-free method contributes to excellent stability and repeatable results
Extremely Easy to Use
Lowest preparation cost and materials requirements
Straightforward operation requires minimal user training and minimal operator involvement Pre- programmed methods and reporting templates
Easy, linear calibration with dedicated calibrations & QC Samples
No fragile parts ensure robust system with minimal maintenance requirements
Proven Compliance
The PAC AC FAME in AVTUR application is standardized as IP-599: GC using Deans Heart Cut and non-cryogenic focussing
IP 599 will be added to:
DEFSTAN 91-91, with key specification: 5 ppm for Total Fame in Jet Fuel, Fame = C16:0-C18:3
ASTM D1655 with key specification: 5 ppm for Total Fame in Jet Fuel, Fame = C16:0-C18:3 (maximum specification for FAME in AVTUR is expected to change to 50 ppm in the near future)
