(BASF) -- BASF has extended its range of fuel additives to include a new, innovative product - KerojetTM Aquarius. BASF has recently acquired an exclusive license from Palox Ltd., Cyprus. After having jointly obtained approval for this product to be used in aircraft, BASF will have the exclusive manufacturing and marketing rights. KerojetTM Aquarius is binding the water contained in kerosene and by that facilitates the maintenance work in aircraft.
BASF is currently working in close cooperation with large engine and airframe manufacturers to gain their approval for this innovative product. German airline Lufthansa supports BASF to prove the effectiveness of KerojetTM Aquarius under practical conditions in selected types of aircraft on selected routes. The joint preparations for this feasibility study will begin in the spring of 2011.
