Innovative control scheme of microbal contamination and bio sustainability of aviation fuels and materials PP262

APPOINTMENT

The development is intended for the detection of microbial destruction of aviation fuels and implementation of preventive measures for the elimination of microbiological contamination of the fuel system, bruises filters and malfunction of the fuel control apparatus, deterioration of the physic - chemical and operating characteristics of the fuel

ESSENCE OF THE DEVELOPMENT

The basis of the developed colorimetric method for determining the microbiological phase is the fact that as a result of the microorganisms life oil destructors in fuels accumulate compounds containing primary and secondary amino groups, amino acids, amines, enzymes etc. Cells of the microorganisms are composed of protein parts, which include the above compounds. As an indicator for amino groups and amino acids, ninhydrin was chosen. During the interaction of nynhydrin with compounds containing amino groups, the fuel becomes blue - purple colour. The intensity of the colour indicates the scale of the biorage of the fuel

MAIN ADVANTAGES OF THE DEVELOPMENT

In comparison with the known methods of microbiological damage of fuels, the developed colorimetric method allows to identify quickly the presence or absence of the microbiological phase

STATE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION

Received a patent of Ukraine

MARKET DEMAND

The purity of fuels depends on the presence of mechanical impurities, moisture and microbiological phase. The method can be implemented in the activities of airport services, testing laboratories, petroleum products plants, oil depots

THE DEVELOPMENT READINESS STATUS

The method is developed and implemented in the laboratory testing activities
