Abstract
Electrical conductivity is an important characteristic for safe and economic handling of aviation turbine fuels which have the potential to accumulate static charges. Jet fuels are highly refined product with very low conductivity. To ensure safe fuel storage and distribution, Jet fuel specifications have been established specifying permissible levels of fuel conductivity. Static Dissipater Additive (SDA) or conductivity improver, is often added to fuel to achieve specification requirements. Controlling of SDA concentration via conductivity measurement is essential for commercial practice due to its surface active nature and anti-electrostatic properties All possible factors affecting the conductivity of jet fuel has been taken into account and described in this research article. The effect of 0.5 to 3.5 mg/l SDA on water separation characteristic (MSED) are also studied and presented.
