The EI 1550 Handbook, detailing how to maintain aviation fuel cleanliness and ensure good practice in fuel filtration, will be introduced at the EI’s Aviation Fuel Filtration seminar being held in London on 17 September 2019.

One of the most widely distributed EI publications, the 3^rd edition of the 1550 Handbook builds significantly on previous iterations, providing vital new information on fuel cleanliness, helping to ensure the operability of aircrafts worldwide.

Martin Maeso MEI, Good Practice Director at the Energy Institute, said:

“Reflecting the global nature of the aviation industry, the EI 1550 Handbook offers a unique collaboration between the EI Aviation Committee and global industry partners and stakeholders.

“The Handbook provides crucial information for the aviation industry, communicating sector transition to the use of alternative filtration technologies.”

The new 1550 publication will be introduced at the EI’s Aviation fuel filtration seminar in London by Phil Rugen, Chair of the EI Aviation Fuel Filtration Committee.

Attendees will hear from representatives of filter manufacturers (Facet Filtration Group, FAUDI Aviation and ParkerVelcon), as well as representatives from the EI, airlines, aircraft engine manufacturers, JIG, filter users and Dr Harold Walmsley.

The EI’s technical work programme brings industry together in a spirit of collaboration, links industry and regulators in the development of good practice and provides operators with cost effective, value adding knowledge on current and future issues.
