Notice
In the latest revision of ATA
103 (ATA Spec 103 Revision 2009), many of the changes directly impact fuel filtration.
This link provides some of the major changes and what they mean for those in the fuel
handling industry.

Coalescer/Separator Cartridges for Aviation
Fuel Qualified to API/IP 1581 5th Edition
COALESCERS
The I-6xxC5 (TB), I-6xxMM, and
I-6xxA4 Series of coalescers incorporate a multi-layered pleated media designed to provide
superior dirt holding capacity in the field, combined with 0.4 micron efficiency. The
I-6xxC5 (TB) will replace both Velcons I-6xx85 (TB) and I-6xx87 (TB) cartridges.
These cartridges are available in either threaded base or open-end configuration. For more
information concerning dimensions and general specifications please contact
Fischer-Robertson, Inc. and refer to our data sheet #1732.
SEPARATORS
The SO-6xxV5, SO-6xxPV5, and
SO-6xxVA5 are Teflon coated screen cartridges. To achieve optimum flow distribution
these cartridges incorporate a variable hole pattern inner tube combined with a uniform
hole pattern outer tube specifically designed for installation in vertical
filter/separators. For horizontal vessels our previously qualified Teflon ® Separator
Cartridges SO-6xxV, SO-6xxC, and SO-6xxVA would be used. Please contact
Fischer-Robertson, Inc and refer to our data sheet #1521 for overall dimensions and
general specifications.

Separator Cartridges Filter/Separator 2nd Stage Elements
Separator Cartridges are
employed as the second stage in filter/separator vessels. Their sole function is to repel
coalesced water drops produced by the first stage cartridges while allowing hydro-carbon
fluids to pass through. Water drops settle into the filter/separator sump and are not
carried downstream. All particle filtering is done by the first stage coalescer cartridge.

Repeller Synthetic Separator Cartridges
The Repeller, Velcons
synthetic material separator, has successfully passed Group II, Class B tests in vertical
and horizontal test vessels with our 85 series coalescers. Flow rates for both the
coalescers and separators are higher than previous Group II, B tests. The Repeller is
intended for customers who want a low cost, disposable, low static charging separator. API
qualified flow rates in vertical class B vessels with the Repeller will range from
209 to 1,670 USGPM; from 250 to 2,000 USGPM in the horizontal class B vessels. Thus, most
of the Class B vessels in the field can be retrofitted with the new Repeller synthetic
separator cartridges.

FI Series Inside-to-Out Flow Filter Cartridges
Specialized Filters for Use in Filter/Separator
Vessels
The FI Series of Inside-to-Out
flow filter cartridges are specially designed to replace the coalescer elements in
filter-separator vessels. The FI filter cartridges are excellent choices to reduce
filtration costs when flushing new systems, or when a filter/separator vessel is used to
remove particulate matter only and not water. (Many surplus F/S vessels in the field have
been used as pre-filter/micronic vessels.) The FG suffix, all fiberglass filter elements
(e.g., Fl-622FG10TB), are intended for colloidal or slimy type matter; whereas the PL
suffix, pleated paper filter elements (e.g., FI-644PLF5), are intended for normal
particulate matter.

CO-718 Series Cartridges for Fuel and Oil
Treatment
The Velcon CO-718 Series
elements are intended for use in all clay treatment vessels designed for nominal 7" x
18" cartridges. The treatment/purification medium is a special blend of low volatile
materials (LVM) fullers earth compounded to provide the optimum balance between
adsorptive capacity and water resistance. With their ability to prevent channeling and
their high particle structure stability, the elements assure reliable performance and long
life in the most exacting process applications.
Jet Fuel Treatment One of the most common uses for clay elements is to
remove surfactants from jet fuels. Surfactants can carry over from the refinery process or
be picked up when the jet fuel travels through multi-product pipelines (corrosion
inhibitors, gasoline additives, etc.). Surfactants will eventually disarm
filter/separators, which are primarily designed to remove water from the jet fuel. By
removing surfactants from the fuel, the clay elements protect the downstream
filter/separators. Since clay removes the surfactants by an adsorbent (adhering) action,
the fuel residence time, or time in contact with the clay, is very important for proper
fuel treatment. Normally, a flow rate of about 6.5 gpm per 7" x 18" element is
ideal for jet fuel.

CDF® Fuel Monitor Cartridges
Field Proven: CDF Replacement Cartridges Assure Clean Dry Fuel Delivery
The Velcon CDF® Series
cartridges are designed to provide superior performance and reliability in standard fuel
monitor housings through a unique, patented combination of media that absorbs water and
filters solids that may be present in the fuel. Full flow through the media is provided by
plastic end caps that are bonded to the media and an O-ring seal on the outlet end. This
minimizes the possibilities of bypassing contaminated fuel or trans-mission of water
downstream at low flow rates. The presence of water and/or dirt in the influent fuel is
indicated by an increase in the pressure differential (or a decrease in flow rate if the
monitor housing is not equipped with a differential pressure gauge). These changes are the
result of flow restriction caused by dirt filtration or water absorption in the media. The
rapidity of these changes will depend on the quantity of water or contaminant present. The
CDF-K Series construction contains an extra layer of fine filter medium required to
meet the tighter filtration requirements of the API/IP-1583 specification.
*****CAUTION*****
In fuels containing anti-icing
additive (Di-EGME, FSII, Prist®), stagnant water bottoms can absorb large amounts of the
anti-icing additive. This water/FSII solution can disarm water-absorbing elements allowing
water to pass downstream. Daily draining of the monitor vessel and of water bottoms
upstream of the elements is IMPERATIVE. Also, changeout @ 15 psid.

ACO Aquacon® Aviation Fuel Filter Cartridges
Patented* AquaconFilter
Cartridges have a unique high-capacity inner filter media which removes all free and
emulsified water from hydrocarbon fuels down to less than 5 ppm in the effluent. Absorbed
water is chemically locked into this media and cannot be squeezed out. When a cartridge
reaches its water holding capacity, its accordion pleats swell and cause an increase in
the differential pressure which signals the operator to change the cartridge. Solid
contaminants are removed by the cartridges two particulate filter media layers. The
pleated accordion style design provides a large surface area for maximum dirt holding
capacity. Models are offered for particulate filtration down to 1/2 micrometer size with
98% plus efficiency. Performance is not affected by the presence of surface active agents.
*****CAUTION*****
In fuels containing anti-icing additive (Di-EGME, FSII, Prist®), stagnant
water bottoms can absorb large amounts of the anti-icing additive. This water/FSII
solution can disarm water absorbing elements allowing water to pass down-stream. Daily
draining of the monitor vessel and of water bottoms upstream of the elements is IMPERATIVE.
Also, changeout @ 15 psid.
