Application of General Technology Applications, Incorporated (GTA) Blending Process to Antimisting Fuel Additives

摘要

This program examines the applicability of a proprietary blending process to blending antimisting additives in JET A aviation fuel. The first phase of the program covers use of the process with a high molecular weight polyisobutylene. The second phase covers the use of the process with Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd's proprietary polymer, FM-9. The results of the program indicate that high molecular weight polyisobutylene can be blended rapidly with JET A using the proprietary process and that the resulting blend demonstrates antimisting behavior within minutes. There was no evidence that the proprietary process is effective in the blending of FM-9 in JET A. (Author)
