Abstract

Biofuels are expected to play a major role in reducing carbon emissions in the aviation sector globally. Farnesane (“2,6,10-trimethyldodecane”) is a biofuel derived from the synthesized iso-paraffin route wich can be blended with jet fuel; however, the microbial behavior in farnesane/jet fuel blends remains unknown. The chemical and biological stability of blends should be investigated to ensure they meet the quality requirements for aviation fuels. This work aimed at evaluating the behavior of two fungi Hormoconis resinae (F089) and Exophiala phaeomuriformis (UFRGS Q4.2) in jet fuel, farnesane, and in 10% farnesane blend during simulated storage. Microcosms (150-mL flasks) were assembled with and without fungi containing Bushnell & Haas mineral medium for 28 days at a temperature of 20±2°C. The fungal growth (biomass), pH, surface tension, and changes in the fuel’s hydrocarbon chains were evaluated. This study revealed thatthe treatment containing H. resinae showed a biomass of 19 mg, 12 mg, and 2 mg for jet fuel, blend, and farnesane respectively. The pH was reduced from 7.2 to 4.3 observed in jet fuel treatment The degradation results showed that compounds with carbon chains between C9 and C11, in jet fuel, and blend treatments were preferably degraded. The highest biomass (70.9 mg) produced by E. phaeomuriformis was in 10% farnesane blend, after 21 days. However, no significant decrease was observed on pH and surface tension measurements across the treatments as well as on the hydrocarbons when compared to the controls. This study revealed that farnesane neither inhibited nor promoted greater growth on both microorganisms.
