METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE FILTERABILITY OF JET FUEL CONTAINING ADDITIVE(S) AND CONDITIONS FOR THE DELIVERY OF ACCEPTABLE WATER CONTENT FUEL

摘要

It has been discovered that jet fuel containing enhanced thermal stability additives and water can be delivered with a final water content of 15 ppm or less via existing jet fuel distribution system by controlling the fuel flow rate through the fuel delivery system comprising one or more filter coalescers and separator systems, said controlled fuel flow rate being determined by passing a sample of actual fuel through a sample of the fuel filter at various fuel flow rates to identify the flowrate at which the fuel effluent contains 15 ppm or less.
