Abstract:
Aviation turbine fuels may be transported or stored in common-carrier, multi-product pipelines or tanks. As a result, the possibility of cross-contamination of fuels exists, which my result in a change in a fuels’ properties and performance. A common cross-contaminant are FAMEs compounds from biodiesels, which readily adhere to the walls of pipelines and tanks. The concentration of FAMEs in aviation fuels is specified in ASTM D1655 and DefStan 91-091 at 5 ppm. This poster outlines the use of GC/MS and HPLC-ELSD for the analysis of FAMEs in aviation turbine fuels in accordance with IP 585 and IP 590.
