Water Barrier Filter Update

The time to get the SAP out is NOW!

Parker Velcon 5” and 6” diameter ACO filter cartridges use Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) to adsorb and chemically lock-in water as fuel passes through them. The low pressure, o-ring design is used in our Parker Velcon models; VF-609, VF-61, VF-62 and VF-65 filter housings.

Additionally, Parker Velcon fabricates and offers equivalent models for competitor’s filter housings.

These combinations of ACO and similar SAP competitor equivalents utilized in single-stool vessels are not, nor have they ever been qualified to any Energy Institute (EI) specification. Single stool filter elements were designed and tested to meet the effluent fuel requirements of EI-1583 however, as stated, were not qualified to meet this specification.

At this point, we recommend that our direct drop-in replacement ACOX water barrier filters be installed at time of your next SAP filter changeout. With the exact same technology as the CDFX, which is fully qualified to the latest

EI-1588 specification, our ACOX will not allow water to pass downstream and of course, there is no SAP. The Aviation Fuel Industry is driving toward ZERO SAP in the system using Water Barrier Filtration from Parker Velcon is a logical first step in the transition.
