Aviation Case Study  Early in 1990 an aircraft from an Eastern European air force suffered an engine failure immediately prior to take off. Subsequent analysis showed that microbial contamination of the fuel had caused the engine failure. Kathon™ FP 1.5 was used to clean up the fuel storage system involved in the incident. This force now treats its fuel on an additive basis with Kathon™ FP 1.5 in order to avoid recurrence of this type of problem. The approval process for additives in commercial and military aviation fuel is extremely rigorous. Kathon™ FP 1.5 biocide has already been successfully evaluated by a number of suppliers and users of aviation hardware, and testing continues worldwide. Approvals include engine manufacturers such as Rolls Royce, SNECMA, Pratt & Whitney and General Electric. |
