Unique recovery service for kerosene launched by Remsol

Disposing of kerosene has traditionally been the preserve of the incineration and Secondary Liquid Fuel (SLF) markets, but now a novel new approach at Remsol means that certain kerosene wastes can be recovered for direct reuse in the manufacture of a product.

Specifically targeted at spent or contaminated aviation fuel, the process is capable of accepting up to 250 tonnes per week of waste kerosene, with a water content of up to 10%.

Remsol's managing director is pleased to announce details of this exciting new development: "This marks the start of new wave of innovative recycling and reuse options that we're bringing forward for a number of waste streams.  In this case, our unique partnership with a manufacturer that can use unwanted kerosene, without any modification, is set to pave the way for those in the aviation sector to move their waste management practices up the established hierarchy," says Lee.

Waste will be collected in bulk tankers and transported to the production facility in Merseyside where it will be used in the manufacture of a simple, but widely used consumer product.

It is intended that the service will be targeted specifically at the UK commercial and military aviation sectors, and is aimed particulary at capturing discarded fuel that is contaminated with water after the so-called "cold soak" on long haul flights to hot climates which can see ice crystals form in the fuel tanks.  It is also capable of dealing with unwanted jet fuel that has been contaminated with Hormoconis resinae (sometimes referred to as Cladosporium resinae), the cultures more commonly known as fuel fungus.

"This service will be of interest to Maintenance & Repair Organisations (MROs), airport operators and airlines, and is available immediately." concludes Lee.
