Mictest

Developing new anti-microbial solutions for aircraft fuel tanks

MICTEST develops new protocols for coatings, materials and components of aircraft fuel tanks to control microbial development.
More about the project

What is being done?

DEFINE MICROBIAL PRESENCE IN FUEL TANKS

QUALIFY COATINGS & MATERIALS

DEVELOP NEW PROTOCOLS

 

SUPPORT INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES

Objectives of MICTEST:

  • Determine antimicrobial properties by assessing bio-contamination levels
  • Qualify the degradation of materials in aircraft fuel systems
  • Characterize the performance of functionalized coatings
  • Evaluate the effect of biocontamination on materials and coatings and vice versa
