Jet Fuel Deoxygenation

Abstract

This program was initiated to identify and characterize methods of deoxygenating quantities of jet fuel to improve fuel thermal stability. Three methods, chemical getters, molecular sieves and nitrogen sparging, were evaluated in our laboratory. In the case of nitrogen sparging, additional results were obtained by comparing laboratory experimental results with the output from ULLAGE, a computer based mathematical model. Each method was shown to reduce the oxygen content of jet fuel. Economic and system considerations favor nitrogen sparging for large quantities of fuel. Jet fuels, Deoxygenation.
