The performance and reliability of aircraft heavily depend on the quality of aviation fuel (Avtur). Contaminated fuel with high levels of water or microbial growth can significantly impair engine efficiency and cause corrosion in the wing fuel tanks, leading to costly maintenance and unscheduled downtime.

Jet engines are particularly sensitive to such contamination, as they require clean, high-performance fuel to ensure smooth operation and extended lifespan. Additionally, emissions regulations in aviation demand solutions that not only protect engines but also reduce environmental impact.

FluidTek’s tailored solutions safeguard aviation fuel by monitoring water content and microbial contamination.

Aviation Fuel

The need for effective, fast microbiological testing solutions in industries including aviation is quickly increasing in the wake of growing passenger and freight transport demand, increased recreational travel, and a widespread adoption of green initiatives, such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). It is more critical than ever to perform regular microbial testing on fuels, and to be able to get accurate, reliable results as quickly as possible. FluidTek solves that gap with a test that can be operated under-wing, providing results in minutes and with the accuracy needed to produce truly actionable results.

It allows for testing in accordance with ASTM D7687 and is referenced in the latest 6th Edition of the IATA Guidance Material on Microbial Contamination in Aircraft Fuel Tanks.
