Clean aviation fuel consultancy

Cleaner Jet A‑1 storage. Safer operations. Lower emissions.

We help airports, airlines and fuel operators store and handle Jet A‑1 more cleanly, protecting fuel quality, people and the environment, with practical solutions built for real budgets.

Jet A‑1 powers global aviation. Storing it cleanly protects everyone.

Jet A‑1 is the kerosene‑grade fuel used by most turbine‑engine aircraft worldwide. Burning it produces emissions, and poorly managed storage adds more risk on top: water and microbial contamination, leaks, vapour losses and wasted fuel.

Elroi Aviation Consult is led by a dedicated clean aviation fuel consultant. The goal is simple: optimise the clean storage of Jet A‑1 so every operator, whatever its size or location, can deliver safe, on‑specification fuel while reducing its environmental footprint.

Services

Advisory support across the full storage lifecycle, from design and audit to daily handling and training.

  • Fuel storage audits

    Independent assessment of tanks, pipework, filtration and procedures, ending in a clear, prioritised action plan.

  • Fuel quality and contamination control

    Water, particulate and microbial contamination management, sampling regimes and filtration strategy to keep fuel on specification.

  • Emissions and spill reduction

    Practical measures to cut vapour losses, leaks and spills, including venting, leak detection and secondary containment.

  • Standards and compliance support

    Guidance aligned with recognised industry specifications and good‑practice frameworks, plus documentation ready for regulators and auditors.

  • Training and capacity building

    Hands‑on training for fuel handlers, supervisors and managers, so good practice stays in place long after the project ends.

  • Future‑fuel readiness

    Advice on storage segregation and handling so your facility is ready for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blends.

Clean fuel, from tank to wing

Fuel quality is won or lost at every step between the storage tank and the aircraft. Choose a stage to see what we review there.

Receipt and storage

Most contamination enters or settles here. We look at how fuel is received, how long it settles, and how water is kept out of the tank.

  • Receipt checks and documentation
  • Settling time before release
  • Routine water draining from tank sumps
  • Tank condition, coatings and venting
  • Bunding, secondary containment and leak detection

Clean aviation shouldn’t be a privilege.

Airports and operators in economically stretched regions often face the greatest fuel‑quality and environmental risks with the fewest resources, yet aviation there carries emergency response, medical flights, trade and connection.

We put particular focus on these communities. We design low‑cost, phased and locally maintainable solutions, starting with the improvements that deliver the biggest safety, quality and emissions gains.

Cleaner storage means less wasted fuel and fewer costly contamination events, which also makes a stronger case for further investment.

How we work

Four stages, so you always know what comes next and what it costs.

  1. 1

    Assess

    On‑site review and consultation to understand your facility, fuel flows and constraints.

  2. 2

    Plan

    A tailored, costed roadmap with quick wins and longer‑term upgrades.

  3. 3

    Implement

    Support with procedures, specifications, supplier selection and staff training.

  4. 4

    Sustain

    Follow‑up reviews and monitoring so improvements last and keep improving.

Questions operators ask

We are a small airfield. Is this for us?

Yes. Recommendations are scaled to your throughput and budget. A single‑tank site gets a short, practical action plan, not an international hub’s programme.

What does a fuel storage audit involve?

An on‑site review of your tanks, pipework, filtration, sampling and records, followed by a written report that ranks each finding by risk and cost to fix.

Do you replace our existing fuel supplier or quality team?

No. We advise and train. Your team and suppliers keep ownership of operations; we help them run to a higher, documented standard.

Can you help us prepare for sustainable aviation fuel?

Yes. We review segregation, compatibility and handling so your facility can take SAF blends without putting fuel quality at risk.

Do you work outside our country?

Yes. We serve clients worldwide, combining on‑site visits with remote follow‑up.
