AAR manages the logistics of MRO services for BASF Deoxo™ ozone and VOC converters in compliance with newly released ACMMs
June 09 2020 - 8:09AM
AAR (NYSE: AIR) a leading provider of aviation services to
commercial and government operators, announced today that BASF has
appointed AAR as a preferred distributor of Maintenance Repair and
Overhaul (MRO) services for Deoxo™ aircraft cabin ozone/volatile
organic compounds (VOC) converters in compliance with the new
abbreviated component maintenance manuals (ACMMs) released earlier
this month.
As announced earlier this month, BASF has updated its ACMMs for
the Deoxo™ portfolio for the Airbus A320, and A330/A340. The
updated ACMMs redefine the test procedures and service methods for
maintaining the converters to ensure continued industry-leading
performance. Proper testing includes functional checks of both
ozone conversion efficiency and change in air pressure through the
converter. These functional checks are currently included in BASF’s
MRO services, which have been managed by AAR since April 2019.
“The collaboration of the two industry leaders BASF and AAR will
extend the availability of Deoxo ozone and ozone/VOC converters and
better service customers around the world,” said Ying Wu, General
Manager of BASF’s Clean Air Business.
“AAR is excited to further extend our partnership with BASF by
continuing to support our shared customers and connecting them with
critical MRO services that are fully compliant with the latest ACMM
revisions”, said Eric Young, AAR SVP of OEM Solutions.
BASF Deoxo™ ozone and ozone/VOC converters catalytically remove
ozone and certain odorous VOCs to deliver quality cabin air
compliant with government regulations. As the leading company in
aircraft ozone/VOC converters, BASF is developing new technology to
further improve airplane cabin air quality for the health and
safety of the crew and passengers. The air at high altitude
contains significant levels of ozone. If left unchecked,
atmospheric ozone enters the aircraft through air conditioning
ducts. Ozone exposure is known to cause adverse health effects,
including headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain,
coughing, and irritation of the eyes, nose or throat.
