Agenda
Day one
- The jet engine – Starting with the basics of how a jet engine works and examining why fuel parameters are critical.
- Production of fuel – Looking at major aspects of the production of fuel, the refining processes used, and examining current and possible future sources of jet fuel.
- Contaminants – Description of contaminant types in jet fuel and their prevention and control, including particulate, water, other fuels, additives, and microbial contamination.
- Specifications and standards – Why specifications are required and how they are developed. Jet fuel procurement specifications and fuel handling standards will be explained.
- Filtration – Description of Energy Institute standards. Explanation of the fundamentals of filtration and filtration types and how they are used.
- Additives – A look at what additives are permitted in jet fuel, their purpose, and their use in manufacturing and distribution operations.
- Field tests – An overview of various field tests in preparation for demonstration and use on Day 2.
Day two
- A visit to an airport storage facility – Field test demonstration, including hands-on testing. Airport fuel farm guided tour with explanation of equipment and procedures.
- Static electricity – A guide to identifying and controlling risks.
Day three
- Storage, distribution and quality control – A discussion of operational challenges in distribution systems. A guide to equipment and best practice.
- Fuel receipt, refueller loading and into-plane refuelling – Overview of standard practices.
