Aerospace experience puts you on solid ground
An aerospace background gives Turbine Fuel Technologies a distinct edge in fuel nozzle design, testing, research, and development. For example, TFT has been a consistent leader in the development of low NO(x) and low CO components. TFT's advanced nozzles help fuels burn more completely, cleanly, and cost-efficiently.

Certified QA staff use statistical process controls and are trained in Deming techniques. Interdisciplinary teams analyze processes to solve problems. Shop floor variable data is shared with all applicable departments. Since implementing these techniques, product throughput and quality has improved steadily and consistently.

• More than 45 years of fuel system component experience.
• More than 30 years of collected and published droplet data.
• Pioneers in designing fuel injectors to accommodate alternative fuels.
• Long-term participants in establishing industry guidelines and performance standards.
• Developers of proprietary computer modeling for alternative fuel applications.

Dedicated to Power Generation
The sole purpose of Turbine Fuel Technoligies' Power System Products unit is to meet the needs of industrial customers. A trained and experienced staff is separated, but not isolated, from TFT's aerospace staff-providing aerospace technologies without aerospace costs.

• State-of-the-art facility designed specifically for industrial and marine needs.
• Management, engineering, and production staffs dedicated to industrial markets.
• Testing and production equipment specially designed for larger-sized components.

Custom Services Meet your Exact Needs
Turbine Fuel Technologies offers a variety of production services to best meet your needs. For new systems, TFT will handle each stage of development from preliminary design to servicing the product. TFT can also enhance current designs or simply manufacture products from existing designs. This operating flexibility results in superior levels of customer satisfaction.

• Integration of all processes results in superior quality control - from raw material traceability to product delivery.
• Cost efficient use of aerospace technologies for greater industrial performance.
