AAR a 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 Deox 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 Deoxoportfolio 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.
