Protecting your aircraft from microbial contamination
Aquarius™ — keeping you flying
We believe aircraft owners shouldn't have to worry about what's growing inside their fuel tanks.
Aquarius™ was developed so that protecting your aircraft is as simple as filling up.

01 — Biofilm Formation
Microbes colonise the fuel-water interface
Bacteria and fungi thrive where fuel meets water at the tank bottom, forming resilient biofilm colonies that resist conventional draining.
02 — Filter Blockage
Contamination clogs fuel filters and lines
Biofilm fragments break away and travel through the fuel system, progressively blocking filters and restricting fuel flow to engines.
03 — Tank Corrosion
Microbial acid attacks tank structures
Metabolic byproducts from microbial colonies produce organic acids that corrode aluminium alloy tank walls and degrade sealant integrity.
04 — AOG Event
Unscheduled grounding and costly downtime
Left untreated, contamination escalates to fuel gauge errors, engine performance issues, and ultimately an Aircraft-on-Ground event costing thousands per day.
Aquarius™ eliminates microbial contamination at the source — one treatment protects your entire fuel system for up to 12 months.
How undetected fuel tank contamination leads to six-figure maintenance bills and preventable AOG events.
