SR Technics Aids Global Environmental Standards for Engines

: Feb 11, 2019 - : 10:16 pm

SR Technics and the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) have, through an eight-year collaboration, made key  contributions to the measurement and regulation of particulate emissions from aircraft engines.

The collaboration between SR Technics and FOCA began in 2010, when FOCA officials approached the company to help develop a test system for particulate emissions testing. With the assistance of SR Technics, a prototype test system was developed in 2011, and the A-PRIDE (Aviation Particle Regulatory Instrumentation Demonstration Experiments) began. As part of the long-term joint efforts, SR Technics has provided jet engine emission data from known sources, supported emissions measurements, led the engine setup and testing process, and supported data analysis of measurement equipment.

In 2016, the Swiss prototype became an industry standard and benchmark when the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection adopted the first particulate matter (PM) standard for aircraft engines. Later, during the EMPAIREX (Emissions of Particulate and gaseous pollutants in Aircraft engine exhaust) campaigns in 2017, SR Technics continued contributing to the research with tests in which a certified alternative fuel blend was burned on a CFM56-7B26 engine to investigate nvPM emissions reductions, and measurements at the engine exit and exhaust silencer.

“We are very proud to be a part of this groundbreaking project,” said Frank Walschot, Chief Executive Officer at SR Technics. “Our excellence in engineering and our openness to collaborating on interdisciplinary projects means that SR Technics is now recognized at conferences on emissions worldwide.”

“SR Technics has been key in the exceptional achievements we have made in environmental protection in aviation over the past eight years,” said Theo Rindlisbacher, from the Environmental Affairs Section at the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA). “We would like to thank everyone at SR Technics for keeping cool – and of course, for all their outstanding support.”
