Fuel Storage Corrosion & Microbial Growth Detection

Microbial Growth can occur at a stagnant water-fuel interface. Certain bacteria and fungi are capable of existing in the water at the fuel surface. If allowed, this growth can cause corrosion on steel and aluminum surfaces.

Growth of microorganisms in petroleum products has been recorded since 1895. This growth is known to cause fouling, malfunction, and corrosion in storage tanks, airfield equipment, pipelines, airframes and engines.

At Global Aircraft Service, during your scheduled inspection we inspect for and detect any microbial growth and corrosion in your fuel cells/integral tanks, and provide you with a report of potential problems which can be hazardous to the entire aircraft.
