AVIATION FUEL
Aviation Fuel
Aviation kerosene is all about safety and quality, JP54 fuel requirements for aircraft and vehicles are typically different. Therefore there are strict quality and safety requirements for aircraft fuel and limitations on components that can be used for aviation fuel.
Aviation kerosene
Aviation kerosene is a specialized type of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft. It is generally of a higher quality than fuels used in less critical applications, such as heating or road transport. JP54 contains additives to reduce the risk of icing or explosion due to high temperature and other properties.
Jet fuel is a clear to straw-colored fuel based on either an unleaded kerosene (Jet A-1) or a naphtha-kerosene blend (Jet B). Similar to diesel fuel, it can be used in either compression ignition engines or turbine engines.
Energy Content
The net energy content for aviation fuels depends on their composition.
Some typical values are:
- Avgas 80, 55.65 MJ/Kg, density at 15 °C is 690 kg/m3.
- Kerosene type Jet A-1, 43.15 MJ/Kg, density at 15 °C is 804 kg/m3.
- Kerosene type Jet TS-1 (for lower temperatures), 43.2 MJ/kg.
Kyrgyzneftegaz Refinery aims to meet and exceed stringent aviation kerosene quality. Jet fuel components are strictly examined by the company’s analytic technical department to meet all international regulations. That’s why our aviation fuel gives high performance to piston-engine aircraft and thereby significantly improving efficiency, safety and ensures comfort with every flight.
Aviation kerosene refining
Kyrgyzneftegaz Refinery uses additives authorized for aviation productions, including anti-knock agents, colorants, antioxidants & anti-electrostatic agents that enrich the hydrocarbon mixtures and ensure that the required properties/elements are formed.
Jet fuel or aviation kerosene TS-1 is made from crude oil fractions by direct distillation. The resulting product is a mixture of volatile hydrocarbons boiling mixed compositions from 150 to 250 degrees. This type of fuel is commonly used for jet combustion engines.
Our oil refinery is supported by our accredited laboratories and experienced research and development scientists. The company offers a 24 months guarantee for our types of Jet fuel grades.
The company is an active member of European collaborative projects, ambitiously seeking a new formula for aviation fuel. Participation in projects assures that Kyrgyzneftegaz Refinery will continue to provide the highest Jet fuel quality for private and commercial airlines across the globe.
