Parker Aerospace Announces New Partnerships and Products
The aerospace component maker wants to make your fuel tank safer.

Parker Aerospace has signed an agreement with Phyre Technologies to further develop a catalytic inerting system for improved aircraft fuel tank safety. The concept looks to take the technology beyond current applications in which inert nitrogen is generated by pressurizing air separation modules with engine-generated bleed air.

Using Phyre’s patented processes for catalytic inerting, ullage air and fuel vapors are pulled from the tank and passed through a catalyst, producing inert oxygen-depleted air (ODA). The inert ODA is then cooled and dried before being reintroduced to the fuel tank to inert the unoccupied space.
