Testing biofuels jet fuel Jet fuel is often transported in common-carrier and multi-product pipeline and distribution systems. Shipping biodiesel in multi-product lines, trucks or rail cars may create a risk of cross-contamination of jet fuel with residual biodiesel components. Intertek can determine the presence of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) contamination in jet fuel by GCMS. Intertek laboratories around the globe are able to determine FAME contamination to less than 5 ppm levels. FAME can impact the thermal stability of jet fuel, leading to coke deposits in the fuel system. www.BioFuelsBusiness.com I BIOFUELS BUSINESS I August 2011 17 http://www.schlagel.com http://www.BioFuelsBusiness.com
