1、Designation: D 6469 04An American National StandardStandard Guide forMicrobial Contamination in Fuels and Fuel Systems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6469; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the

2、year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide provides personnel who have a limitedmicrobiological background with an understanding of thesympto

3、ms, occurrence, and consequences of chronic microbialcontamination. The guide also suggests means for detectionand control of microbial contamination in fuels and fuelsystems. This guide applies primarily to gasoline, aviation,boiler, industrial gas turbine, diesel, marine, and furnace fuels(see Spe

Summary4.1 Microbes may be introduced into fuels as products coolin refinery tanks. Bacteria and fungi are carried along with d

48、ustparticles and water droplets through tank vents. In seawaterballasted tanks, microbes are transported with the ballast.D6469043Vessel compartments ballasted with fresh, brackish, or seawa-ter, all of which may contain substantial numbers of microbes,may easily become contaminated with the microbe

49、s trans-ported with the ballast water. See Section 6 for more a detaileddiscussion.4.2 After arriving in fuel tanks, microbes may either stick tooverhead surfaces or settle through the product. Some mi-crobes will adhere to tank walls, whereas others will settle tothe fuel/water interface. Most growth and activity takes placewhere fuel and water meet. The tank bottom fuel/waterinterface is the most obvious fuel/water boundary. However,there is also a considerable area of fuel/water interface on theinterior surface of tank-shells. Micro
