ADVANCEMENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF FLOW ANALYSIS BY FTiR SPECTROSCOPY IN A RAPID SCREENING TEST METHOD FOR MEASURING TRACES OF FATTY ACID METHYL ESTERS IN AVIATION TURBINE FUELS(PPT)

摘要

1. Multi-fuel storage and transport cause FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) contamination from Diesel to Jet Fuel 2. Currently allowed at GC-GC detection limit of 5 mg/kg 3. 100 mg/kg level expected soon in Defstan 9191 4. FA-FTIR measures FAME at 20 -150 mg/kg (IP 583 Flow Analysis-Fourier Transform Infra Red) < 20 min measurement time, no solvents and very little training required.
