Stopping bugs and bacteria from growing in your aircraft
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.
Fig. 1 Contamination propagation across fuel systems
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.
