B. Biocidal Shock Treatment for Moderate Contamination - Using Kathon Biocide with a Metered Injection Rig

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A LARGE QUANTITY OF KATHON BIOCIDE IN THE FUEL. MORE THAN 100 PPM IS NOT PERMITTED IN:

THE ENGINES
THE FUEL TANKS
THE FUEL UPLIFTED TO THE AIRCRAFT.

(1) Put Antimicrobial Agent-Fuel System Liquid Additive - (Material No.11KBB1) into:

the METERING EQUIPMENT - BIOCIDE, HAMMONDS FUEL ADDITIVES or
the METERING EQUIPMENT - BIOCIDE, LUBRIZOL FUEL ADDITIVES or
the METERING EQUIPMENT - BIOCIDE,FLIGHTLINE FUEL ADD.INC..

(2) Make sure that:

the METERING EQUIPMENT - BIOCIDE, HAMMONDS FUEL ADDITIVES or
the METERING EQUIPMENT - BIOCIDE, LUBRIZOL FUEL ADDITIVES or
the METERING EQUIPMENT - BIOCIDE,FLIGHTLINE FUEL ADD.INC.
is correctly electrically bonded.

(3) Connect the fuel tanker to the input side of:

a METERING EQUIPMENT - BIOCIDE, HAMMONDS FUEL ADDITIVES or
a METERING EQUIPMENT - BIOCIDE, LUBRIZOL FUEL ADDITIVES or
a METERING EQUIPMENT - BIOCIDE,FLIGHTLINE FUEL ADD.INC..

(4) Connect the output side of:

the METERING EQUIPMENT - BIOCIDE, HAMMONDS FUEL ADDITIVES or
the METERING EQUIPMENT - BIOCIDE, LUBRIZOL FUEL ADDITIVES or
the METERING EQUIPMENT - BIOCIDE,FLIGHTLINE FUEL ADD.INC.
to the aircraft.

(5) Do a manual refuel of each fuel tank to its maximum capacity (Ref. AMM TASK 12-11-28-650-004). Make sure that the fuel added is treated with Kathon at the correct concentration. The Kathon concentration in each tank after refuel must be 100 ppm (by volume) or less.

NOTE: AIRBUS recommends that you refuel the aircraft to the maximum capacity. If this is not done, (for operational reasons) microbiological contamination can stay in the upper parts of the fuel tanks.

(6) Disconnect:

the METERING EQUIPMENT - BIOCIDE, HAMMONDS FUEL ADDITIVES or
the METERING EQUIPMENT - BIOCIDE, LUBRIZOL FUEL ADDITIVES or
the METERING EQUIPMENT - BIOCIDE,FLIGHTLINE FUEL ADD.INC.
and the tanker from the aircraft.

Subtask 28-11-00-860-106-A

C. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration
(1) Do the EIS stop procedure (Ref. AMM TASK 31-60-00-860-002).
(2) De-energize the aircraft electrical circuits (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-862-002).

Subtask 28-11-00-670-062-A

D. Fuel System Treatment
(1) Let the fuel stay in the tanks for between 12 and 24 hours.

NOTE: In a high ambient temperature, the soak time must be a minimum of 12 hours. In a low ambient temperature, the soak time must be a minimum of 24 hours. AIRBUS recommends that you always let the fuel stay in the tanks for 24 hours.

(2) During the soak time:

Do not move the aircraft
Do not operate the fuel pumps or APU
Do not do water drain tests, a high concentration of biocide will be in the sample.

(3) After the soak time, the fuel and biocide is burned through the APU and engines during normal operations.

NOTE: Obey the engine manufacturers restrictions and guidelines for your aircraft.

5. Close-up

A. Removal of Equipment

NOTE: For disposal of waste fuel, refer to the local regulations.

(1) Make sure that the work area is clean and clear of tools and other items.
(2) Remove the safety barriers.
(3) Remove the WARNING NOTICE(S).
(4) Remove the ground support and maintenance equipment, the special and standard tools and all other items.

Subtask 28-11-00-281-057-A

B. Contamination Check
(1) Do the sampling procedure again in 10 days (but after a minimum of 5 flights) to check for contamination (Ref. AMM TASK 12-32-28-281-003).

NOTE: AIRBUS recommends that if you get a negligible result, you do not continue to use the biocide treatment.
