Market Dynamics

Introduction:

What is an aircraft fuel tank inerting system?

An aircraft fuel tank inerting system, also known as a flammability reduction system, is a component in the fuel system that protects against fire and explosion in the fuel tank by developing an inert condition within the ullage space of the fuel tank. It is achieved by supplying inert gas, mostly nitrogen, to displace the oxygen in the ullage space of the tank.

The fuel tank inerting system converts the bleed air to nitrogen-enriched air (NEA), replacing the flammable gases in the fuel tank. This reduction of oxygen in the fuel tank prevents combustion, even if a spark is present. The oxygen concentration inside the fuel tank of an aircraft should be less than 11.9% but can vary in the range of 9%-12%. In such systems, nitrogen-enriched air (NEA) is supplied at a concentration of 10%-12%.

Market Drivers:

• Increasing aircraft deliveries fueled by rising passenger traffic, the introduction of variants of existing programs, increasing the production rate of key aircraft programs, and expanding fleet size are the major factors driving the growth of fuel tank inerting systems in the aerospace industry.
• The fuel tank inerting system is essential to the airframe fuel system.
• The aviation industry is increasingly incorporating advanced lightweight materials in both structural and semi-structural components to reduce the weight of an aircraft.
• A reduction in the weight of an aircraft considerably improves fuel efficiency.
• Fuel tank inerting systems are also not untouched by such dynamics and experience a greater usage of lightweight materials, such as aluminum and advanced high-strength steel (AHSS), to align with the airlines’ requirements.
