A High Capacity Advanced Fuel Filtration System

Abstract

This project demonstrated the feasibility of an innovative design that combines a water-selective, cross-flow filtration (CFF), and a high capacity spiral-wound membrane element design into an integrated and individually contained filter cartridge. The filtration unit is composed of the individually contained cartridges (module). The modular design makes the upgrade and down-grade of the system capacity very flexible. Several potential hydrophobic membranes were tested, and the most suitable ones for the application were identified. Parametric studies of various water and solids content levels in JP-8 were performed through a bench-scale model for the candidate filter media. The filtration effect of the candidate filter media on the FSII contained in JP-8 has also been investigated. The test results lay a good foundation for the development of a prototype in Phase II.
