Since the introduction of aviation fuel monitor cartridges in aviation fueling, super absorbent polymers (SAP) have been the essential materials used in the final stage of airport ground fueling systems for protection of on-board systems from water contamination. The material’s ability to absorb and chemically lock in water have it’s challenges?potential media migration downstream. SAP Free water barrier technology eliminates the uncertainty of SAP migration downstream by removing SAP from the equation while still providing the efficiency and water removing performance you can rely on from a fuel monitor cartridge.
The new surface/barrier technology provides a dropin solutions for current 2” diameter filter monitors. Exterior dimensions and endcap styles remain the same while media technology are exchanged with new barrier technology. This allows for use with current monitor housings without the need for expensive and costly retrofitting of filtration systems on fuel carts and fueling trucks.
Our barrier technology is:
- Effective against low-water emulsions
- Effective against total water submersion
- Effective when introduced to water slugs at or greater than 101.5 psid (7 bar)
- Effective in fuel with FSII (anti-icing additive)
- Extreme dirt efficiency
- INNOVATIVE BARRIER TECHNOLOGY
Water and dirt are prevented from bypassing downstream allowing only clean dry fuel
- PERFORMANCE TO MEET CURRENT EI SPECIFICATIONS
Defense against emulsified water and full slug protection
- COST AND RESOURCE EFFICIENT
Fits currently deployed monitor housings without the need for costly retrofitting or addition of electronic sensors
- NO MORE MEDIA MIGRATION CONCERNS
Zero uncertainties about SAP media migration or extrudables downstream and in filtration systems
Utilizes industry known materials of construction (nylon, PTFE and urethane)
