Modular fuel stabilization system

A fuel stabilization system (10) includes a first deoxygenator (18) and a second deoxygenator (20) both for removing dissolved oxygen from a hydrocarbon fuel. The first and second deoxygenators (18, 20) are arranged in parallel or series (Figs. 2 & 3) to sequentially remove a portion of dissolve...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A fuel stabilization system (10) includes a first deoxygenator (18) and a second deoxygenator (20) both for removing dissolved oxygen from a hydrocarbon fuel. The first and second deoxygenators (18, 20) are arranged in parallel or series (Figs. 2 & 3) to sequentially remove a portion of dissolved oxygen from the hydrocarbon fuel. The arrangement of several deoxygenators (18, 20) for a single fuel stream improves removal of dissolved oxygen and provides for scalability of the fuel system to meet application specific demands. The arrangement also provides for the preservation of partial system functionality in the event of the failure of one of the deoxygenator modules.
