This anti-misting kerosene (AMK) cannot be introduced directly into a gas turbine engine due to several possible problems such as clogging of filters. The AMK must be restored to almost Jet-A before being introduced into the engine for burning. This restoration is called “degradation” and was accomplished on the B-720 using a device called a “degrader.” Each of the four Pratt & Whitney JT3C-7 engines had a “degrader” built and installed by General Electric (GE) to break down and return the AMK to near Jet-A quality.
