Microbiological Spoilage of Aviation Turbine Fuel: Part II Evaluation of a Suitable Biocide
Keywords:
Anti icing fuel additive, Biocide, Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether
Abstract
Addition of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, an anti-icing fuel additive supports microbial growth when added to aviation turbine fuel in low dosages. however, increases in its concentration to certain limits effectively prevents bioactivity in the fuel. The optimum dosage of this biocide for prevention of bioactivity in aviation turbine fuel has been studied by the specified qualitative performance tests after 18 months storage of the inhibited fuel under accelerated conditions of temperature and humidity.
