Aircraft fuel testing

Conidia Bioscience produces the Fuelstat resinae test kit for the detection of microbial contamination in aviation fuel systems. Microbial contamination damages the fuel tanks of aircraft, blocks filters, and causes gauging errors – posing safety threats and cost implications if not treated quickly and effectively. The tests enable cost-effective, simple and accurate real-time testing of fuel. Benefits include speed of test, accurate, no lab or sterile conditions required, and results in 10 minutes. The test kit give actions and alert levels via IATA guidelines. Conidia Bioscience also offers full laboratory testing and consultancy on fuels, oils, and fuel systems. Tests can be carried out 'under the aircraft wing'. For more information visit www.conidia.com.
