Field Evaluation of the Sidestream Sensors for Filter/Separators and Clay Filters

摘要

In response to a 1977 survey conducted by the ASTM D 02.J Subcommittee on Aviation Fuels to assess industry needs in fuel handling, the CRC Water/Fuel Separation Characteristics Group identified six requirements for test methods which CRC should consider: 1. surfactants in fuel; 2. surfactants in the aqueous phase; 3. filter/separator conditions; 4. filter/separator life; 5 clay filter condition; and 6 Clay filter life. The Group had received a report from one panel that examined test methods for surfactants in water. The last four test needs became the objectives of a panel, established in 1980, to examine the Exxon Filter Sidestream Sensor as CRC research techniques for these purposes. Membership of the Panel and a corresponding working group of the Institute of Panel and a corresponding working group of the Institute of Petroleum which also evaluated the Sidestream Sensor appear in Appendix A.
